Smith, you have to remain engaging when speaking on the latest sports topics. Although Perkins can be disagreeable at times, he is certainly fun to listen to. You never know what he might say or claim about another player. Just look at how he talked about MVP candidate Nikola Jokic.
Speaking of the MVP, the race for the award is heating up as the last week of the NBA season is upon us. Jokic could become the first three-peat winner since Larry Bird. Moreover, guys like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid are also having MVP-worthy seasons. At this point, there are a ton of different players who could win it. However, it is all going to depend on the voters. Sometimes, NBA media can be spiteful in their decisions, and it leads to a winner who may or may not actually deserve it.
