The 2021-22 NBA regular season has finally come to an end. While most of the attention will be focused on the post-season game, there are still some awards to be made. Just as there will be endless debates about Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid for the All-NBA first-team (at least for those who choose not to put two centers on their first-team), the Twitter battles over this year’s will MVP races may never end.
This could very well end up being the closest match ever. You can’t go wrong choosing Jokic, Embiid, or Giannis Antetokounmpo as your MVP. I take Jokic. As you will see below, so do most of my CBS colleagues.
In addition to MVP, we voted for Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. Read them and weep (and be sparing with our mentions).
