Early Tuesday afternoon, I floated a theory with some colleagues and close personal friends.
Many met it with pushback, others saw the place I was coming from.
The theory? There is a path for Jalen Brunson to win MVP this season.
I know, crazy. But all I ask is you hear me out. New York Knicks bias aside.
I honestly think that a player in Brunson’s scenario should be considered for the league’s most prestigious award if he can hold the Knicks to a certain spot in the standings.
That’s why I bet him at +20000 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook to win the award on Tuesday night after the Knicks thrashed the Utah Jazz for their 14th win this month and second straight without Julius Randle (dislocated shoulder).
