The Kia MVP Ladder of the NBA is constantly changing, and this is well-known amongst players and coaches alike. According to Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, discussions centred around MVPs include comparisons between the highest performing players, as well as individuals delivering standout performances for their team, with none of it easy to control, as the conversation is ever evolving.

Curry, who happens to be the only unanimous MVP in history (2015-2016), has currently dropped from the current Top 5 at Kia’s Race to the MVP Ladder, which is currently headed by Jayson Tatum, with Doncic and Nikola Dokic tied at position 2. Tatum scored a season best of 49 points against Miami Heat, which included 8 three-pointers, and led the Boston Celtics to their victory. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic scored his 51^st triple-double in a conclusive win over Golden State, even though the Maverick’s have had their worst season in history with a record of 1-8.

Nikola Jokic, who is a two-time MVP, has also grabbed attention with his contributions to Denver’s 4-game winning streak, with the last one a decisive victory over the Houston Rockets. He has also been aided by able teammates such as Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Bruce Brown.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently ranked 4, which is unsurprising as he has scored a minimum of 30 points in every game since November 18 and led the Bucks to three wins in a row. Devin Booker is also ranked at number 5, and has consistently led the Phoenix Suns to victory, who are currently on the longest winning streak in NBA, despite the absence of Chris Paul, CameronJohnson and Jae Crowder. Booker has also scored an impressive 96 pointsin the last two games.
