At the start of the season two favorites stood out clearly for the MVP trophy, Kevin Durant and Stephen Currybut with about twenty games remaining, they are no longer in the race at all, and other favorites have emerged: Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpoor DeMar DeRozan. Draymond Greenteammate of Stephen Curry, revealed his MVP:
“If I had to vote and the season ended today, I would vote for DeMar DeRozan,” Draymond Green said. “I think DeMar is amazing. He’s on an amazing streak right now. But he’s been incredible since the start of the season. When you see how people have kind of disrespected what he’s been doing for the past few years that he takes that disrespect and not just continues to play really well but takes it to the next level, that’s incredible. Then there is also the way he leads this team. They’ve had a lot of injuries, probably more than anyone this season, but they’re still on top in the East. And I think one of the main reasons is his level of play night after night. »
DeRozan’s historic streak has come to an end, but the Bull is on 28.3 points on 51.7% including 36.5% from distance, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists to lead the Bulls to second place in the East.
