Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[rolaholic]

Was Oscar in the running when he did it? There's a pretty clear criteria that's​ been in place forever. For it to all of a sudden change this year would be something

If Russ do get it, they bet not use that criteria ever again. Just make it most outstanding player from here on.

I've been on board for this from the jump,same reason why I thought Harden should've gotten it 2 seasons ago

 

[MVP]

Are you arguing that Russ' season transcends the precedent of the NBA MVP since 1980? If Russ gets this, I hope you cape as hard for them to re-open the voting for the 2005-2006 season because that is a similar situation and it's for your boy.

Not really but ok. Kobe didn't have as big of a case as Russ does, even though the award should have been his. There have been several guys that have put up 35+ a game in NBA history. Only 1 other person who's averaged a triple double.

So you're caping harder for Russ than Kobe? Would you be willing to bet your username and change it to "BRODIE MVP" if he loses?

I've been on board for this from the get go ,same reason why I thought Harden should've got it 2 seasons ago

That's the reason Im hoping Kawhi gets it. At least the voting will be consistent. If they move the goal post on harden 3 years in a row that would be pretty ****** up.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He won it when he was .1 rebounds off from averaging another triple double season

Was his team a 6 seed with less than 50 wins? There's really no reason Russ should be the exception.

At least keep it consistent

 

[rolaholic]

The argument that because Oscar didn't win it during his triple double season doesn't hold as much water as you'd think since it was also the season Oscar averaged the triple double was the same year Wilt dropped 100 and averaged 50 points and 25 while Russell averaged 20 and 23 on better squads...

He didn't get it when he avg a triple double though

Therefore avg a triple double doesn't automatically qualify you for MVP

Russ will win the scoring title, good enough

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I'm just going off the way things have traditionally been done. Do I think Russ deserves it? Sure.

Stop right there. You can't base this years race on past MVP races.

[MVP]

Y'all bringing up a time when there was 8 or 9 teams and the damn players voted on the award.

News flash what happened in 1962 or in 2016 has ZERO bearing on what will happen this season.

I'm surprised you guys haven't posted the clip of Russ trying to miss his last FT so he could grab the 10th rebound, yet.

Post it

You're right, I mixed up Russell's playoff #'s which are insane :x

Umm..Why can't you? Why should the standards just change all of a sudden when they've been the same for this long?

 

[QU!K]

If what y'all saying were true and team record doesn't matter

Steve Nash would not be 2x mvp

[MVP]

There is no set standard. For every iron clad rule y'all think there is there's an exception I history to contradict it. This will be one of those years.

I swear people don't realize this. Him and Russell

So you're saying players having good years on better teams should win mvp?

I'm saying players having otherworldly stat lines on great teams are exceptions

I'll say it again,50 and 25 and 19 and 24....

 

[wavycrocket]

Never seen ***** ride this hard for someone to get MVP

It's almost like y'all know Russ don't deserve it.....and if he don't get it now, he never will.

Kawhi and Harden >>> StatHunterBrook

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm saying players having otherworldly stat lines on great teams are exceptions

So basically not Russ?

There's a strong chance he will win MVP. ****** love a story.

That was the 60's dawg. On top of that different years different players. Every MVP race in every year ain't the same. Nash wouldn't have won 2 MVP's if that was prime Shaq or Kobe had Gasol those years.
