With play-in action underway and the 2021 Playoffs right around the corner, all 19 editors of Eurohoops picked their MVP, All-NBA Team, and Coach of the Year of the 2020-21 Regular Season.
The discussion surrounding the MVP and therefore the members of the All-NBA Team ranges through even more players than usual this year. Fresh new candidates emerged from both the Eastern and the Western Conferences.
Nikola Jokic our clear MVP of the season
In the crowded MVP race, most of the Eurohoops editors leaned on Nikola Jokic as the most valuable player of the season. He is coming off his most productive run with 26.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.8 blocks per match leading the Denver Nuggets to the playoffs and the home-court advantage in the first round.
Players the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, and Joel Embiid were considered, but the Joker drew most of our attention, and rightfully so.
