The Golden State Warriors superstar was just like everyone else while guessing the MVP winner for this year. In a recent interview with Taylor Rooks from the Bleacher Report, Green hesitantly answered his pick for the 2022-23 MVP.
“Steph has played at an MVP level, but our record does not state that currently,” said Green. He further added, “But we’re also not so far off to where that can’t change. And then, if that does change, could Steph be the MVP? But if things still as they stand today, I think who’ll be MVP is probably Joker[Nikola Jokic] again. He is about to average a triple-double.“
