The two cases for SGA are -
1) Voter fatigue
2) He led a team that was greatly improved
In terms of conventional statistics, Jokic was runaway better than anybody in the league, except for pre-injury Embiid. Basically, giving SGA the award this year would be like giving Barkley the award in '93. Mike was the best player but you know, you can't give it to him forever.
My guess is that Jokic won't win another MVP Award, because the voters will move on and find a reason to give it to somebody else. But he will be the best player for a while yet.
