Can Anyone Top Nikola Jokic for MVP | Which Teams Are 1 Move Away from Contention?
34:44 Share

We start with the MVP ladder—who’s leading the race, and which superstar is carrying their team the hardest? Hear bold takes on Giannis, Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Tatum, plus whether KD and Luka can crack the top tier.

Next, it’s all about the teams: which franchises are serving a “full spread” (think Thunder and Celtics), which “burnt the rolls” and are one or two pieces away, and who’s stuck ordering “sushi takeout” because this year just isn’t happening (Lakers, looking at you). We also call out the total disasters at “Texas Roadhouse” level—teams needing a full overhaul to save their season.

Sprinkled throughout are holiday-themed debates like which Thanksgiving dish best represents a team and insights from across the Locked On Network. Whether you’re tuning in for the sharp analysis, the humor, or the sizzling hot takes, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
