Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder are the finalists for this season's Most Valuable Player award,

Stephon Castle (Spurs), Zaccharie Risacher (Hawks), Jaylen Wells (Grizzlies), Alex Sarr (Wizards), Kel'el Ware (Heat) Isaiah Collier (Jazz), Bub Carrington (Wizards), Matas Buzelis (Bulls), Yves Missi (Pelicans), Zach Edey (Grizzlies)

This season is arguably the most contentious award season in league annals, and not many choices are clear no-brainers.
