Local media are making numerous predictions and predictions. The most notable prediction is season MVP.
The NBA is the best stage where many superstars compete.
ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, announced on the 5th (Korea time) 'Top 10 MVP in the 2024-2025 season'. The experts did the survey. It consisted of a group of experts, with 5 points for the first place vote, 3 points for the second place, and 1 point for the third place.
The NBA's trend is increasingly turning to the outside world. Stephen Curry changed the league trend with a '3 point shot'. It was a time of hardship for the centres. However, big men are back in the spotlight recently.
However, he is not a traditional big man from the 1990s to the 2000s. A versatile big man who can shoot three-point games, pass and control under the basket is gaining popularity.
Hakeem Olajuwon, the legendary center of the Houston Rockets in the 1990s and 2000s, predicted this phenomenon. At the height of the Big Men's hardship, he said 'The value of Big Men in Golmi has not been undermined. However, big men should be more versatile. You have to shoot a 3-pointer from the outside, you have to dribble, you have to have the ability to pass. Of course, you have to have basic control under the basket.
Recently, Nikola Jokic (Denver) and Joel Embiid (Philadelphia) were at the top of the MVP competition. He is still a strong candidate for MVP this season.
The two players are versatile. Jokic is playing so spectacular multi-play that he is praised as the best passer of all time. Embiid not only has control under the basket, but also has skills that cannot be stopped by one-on-one in attacks such as mid-jumper and 3-point shooting.
The first place was a bit of a surprise. Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks took over. I got 61 points.
Doncic is the league's top main ball handler. However, many pointed out that there was a weakness in defense. However, with Kyrie Irving, he maximized his value by taking Dallas to the final last season.
It is evaluated as the best time to become MVP this season.
Second place is Jokichi. In third place was Shai Gilzer Alexander (OKC).
Shai Gilzer Alexander, who made Oklahoma City's splash last season, instantly rose to the league's best shooting guard. It is expected to show a stronger performance this season.
Minnesota ace Anthony Edwards came in fourth. Oklahoma and Minnesota are a collection of potential newcomers. He hit his potential last season.
