ESPN employees decided to conduct a survey among journalists.
The results are as close as possible to a real survey to determine the MVP of the season. At least two journalists represented each of the 28 NBA cities.
As a result of the vote, first place by a wide margin was taken by the leader of the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic. He was given 90 of the 101 first places.

The second was the “Philadelphia Sixers” Joel Embiid, who, by the way, received five first places. The top 3 closed the MVP of the previous two seasons, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In fourth and fifth places are Damien Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) and James Harden (Brooklyn Nets). Los Angeles Lakers leader LeBron James took only sixth place in the poll.
