ESPN's First Take debated whether Boston's Jaylen Brown or Denver's Nikola Jokic deserves NBA MVP honors before tonight's primetime matchup, sparking fan backlash over the comparison. Brown averages 29.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 51 games while Tatum recovers from an Achilles injury, though advanced stats favor Jokic's 28.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists with elite efficiency for the fourth-place Nuggets. Boston thrives even without Brown at times, highlighting team depth, yet some see him as an underdog load-carrier; official ladders still rank Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic ahead.

Jaylen Brown has been carrying the Celtics without Jayson Tatum, dropping 29 points a game. But can he really top Nikola Jokic's triple-double mastery in the MVP race?

Junkermann, a tech investor and trustee since February 2024 at the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity—which supports Britain's top cancer hospital—resigned last week by mutual agreement. The move came after a Telegraph probe revealed her affectionate messages to Epstein over two decades, plus multiple flights on his jet. Prince William has been hospital president since 2007, and he and Kate became charity patrons in January 2025 following her treatment there. No evidence links the royals to her appointment, as patronage roles stay ceremonial.

Key Takeaway

Nicole Junkermann's close emails with Jeffrey Epstein, like calling him 'baby' and 'Mr Wonderful,' have now led her to step down from a charity tied to Prince William and Princess Kate.
