In a season of spectacular individual performances, Anu and A.C. examine this year's race for the coveted Most Valuable Player award. They discuss the five leading candidates and what makes them special as basketball players. But they also look at some of the weaknesses in these players' MVP cases such as Luka Doncic's poor defensive effort and penchant for complaining. And as the gang's resident Knicks fan, A.C. couldn't resist making a (totally unbiased) dark horse case for Jalen Brunson as MVP.

2:02 - Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets

14:40 - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder

21:36 - Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers

26:23 - Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks

34:51 - Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks
