Was Giannis Antetokounmpo or LeBron James this year’s deserving MVP? And is there another name we’re overlooking?

THE NBA IS GROWING MORE AND MORE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CONTINUING ITS 2019–20 SEASON, but we’re pressing on with 2020 NBA awards season just in case. Even if we do get a few more regular season games, they shouldn’t affect the major award races at this point, especially with all the Coronavirus complications thrown in.

Today we come to the biggest award of them all, the Most Valuable Player. That’s the one we track all year, the one we etch into players’ Hall of Fame plaques when it’s all said and done. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the reigning MVP, but he was pushed all season long by LeBron James, Luka Doncic, James Harden, and others. Did any of them do enough to wrest his crown away?

It’s time for our final 2020 NBA MVP ladder, counting down the candidates from 10 down to one…
