The NBA regular season is quickly coming to a close and the race for MVP is on. Last year, it was Nikola Jonkic who had an incredible season with the Denver Nuggets. He is getting even better this year, putting up impressive stats and helping the Nuggets stay towards the top even without some of their other stars. But the Serbian reigning champ has some competition in 2022.

Also at the top of the race are the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, the Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid, the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokuonmpo, and the Memphis Grizzlies’ Ja Morant.
