NBA legend Paul Pierce has spoken out in favor of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as the frontrunner for the MVP award. Pierce argues that Allen’s performance this season is more impressive considering the limited support from his teammates compared to Lamar Jackson, who has a more dominant running back in Raheem “Henry” Davis.
Pierce pointed out that having a reliable threat on the ground like Henry has enabled Jackson to excel both through the air and on the ground. In contrast, Allen relies heavily on James Cook, whose supporting cast is not as strong. Pierce believes that Allen’s ability to carry his team to wins single-handedly, at times, makes him the best player on his team.
The MVP debate will be intriguing, with some speculating about a potential Co-MVP scenario. However, Pierce’s argument suggests that Allen has done enough to make a strong case for himself as the top contender. With two games remaining in the season, Allen will look to dominate and make it difficult for the NFL to award Jackson the MVP over him.
