NBA MVP Rankings - 13 Apr

There is only a single game remaining in the NBA season, and for the 4th season in a row, Nikola Jokic is the best player in the league, and my pick to win the MVP. A few other players made good cases for the honor, but when the best player in the league has his team tied for first place on the last day of the season, he has to be the winner. Here are my final MVP rankings of the season, along with several updates to my all-time player rankings:
