osh kosh bosh
in here, for a fuller discussion on race/stereotypes/perception etc in basketball….Because we can go there 
Not for nothing, each player that is not your stereotypical “NBA MVP” (6’6 Wing/Big/African American) deals this in their own unique way.
Two ex:
Giannis - Xenophobia
Steph - Soft/LightSkin/Shooter
Bird caught the same Jokic **** in the 80s.
We can make another thread about this topic, for those interested.

Who winning the other awards?
Lauri probably got MIP on lock. Brunson woulda have been the pick there
6th man of the year?

Brogdon or Quickley. Might've been Powell had he not gotten hurt.

Damn forgot about Brogdon. Yea he's been great for them. Probably gets the nod over IQ. IQ had a horrible first few months.

I’m telling you,BIG LEEMELONE is a master level chaos agent, agent provocateur and propagandist.

nuggets were the 6th seed, we’ve seen what has been said about other MVPs whose teams weren’t higher seeds
Seems like a perfect opportunity Michael Malone could have used to reference past ugliness.. past nastiness

Jokic's MVP last year and Russ's MVP are the same.
THEY got mad at me for saying it though.

Who was offended?
If you don't bend the knee you're a stan, Jokic's boy and a Jokic truther...or something. Please keep up.
*I think Embiid is in the lead FWIW

That’s ME being offended? And more misrepresentation to “can’t even talk about defense”

Because he had two max contracts sitting on the sidelines, which went into his argument for the MVP.

Quickley should be 6th man
ROY - JDub

and you just proved my point. This year specifically, the conversation took a turn. I think it’s “toxic” and “nasty” for how they tear down players, the whole convo about it etc etc. Does Michael Malone prolly have some racial bias? Of f’n course. Assign to that what you will.
Is his observation, that the nba mvp talk this year has taken a turn it hasn’t in the last two seasons wrong?
No! That F’n simple.

If only there were more users like us who were at least honest about their viewpoints.
But they hide behind the veil of pretending to be objective basketball fans so they can praise their favorites and slander players who are direct competition of them.
