A deep dive into this year's MVP race

In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) is joined by special guest Ryan Blackburn (@NBABlackburn) of Denver Stiffs and the Pickaxe & Roll podcast to discuss the MVP race and the Denver Nuggets' playoff outlook.

What has caused the MVP race to swing in Nikola Jokic's favor as of late? What are the biggest arguments in favor of Jokic, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo? Is there a "right" answer to this year's MVP race? Are Jamal Murray and/or Michael Porter Jr. coming back this year? What would constitute a successful playoff run for the Nuggets?

Check out the episode to hear Bryan and Ryan discuss all of that and more.
