The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Has it been historically awarded that way though?

I dont think it has and between Joker, Embiid and Giannis it won't be awarded that way this year either

I don't know but that's not my point. I am referring to the perspective of SVG and I've seen that same sentiment from fans etc.

Ja shouldn't win it but the reason shouldn't be because his team is winning without him

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I think the team being dominant without Ja is a valid reason to not give him Mvp. He's missed about a quarter of the season and the team has probably even been statistically better without him. Don't see how that shouldn't be factored

 

[lawdog1]

SVG has put out a number of trash/semi-trash takes on Twitter. Makes me wonder if he’s trolling at least some of the time on there.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If Embiid or Jokic was on the Grizz and having the same level of performance they should still get the award

Yeah I feel you on that but just don't think much of SVG of others random takes if it doesn't actually effect the MVP voting. Just media fodder like the DBook talk the last few days

By SVG's logic if the MVP vote went his way Steph would have won last year but he didn't so I don't put too much into it

But overall I agree Ja's impact shouldn't be diminished because he's on a good/great team

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

idk I've always thought SVG was a cut above in the tiers of media/voices

but yeah ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone thinks but the voters

I guess I'm just going against the general notion which is what we do here on every other topic that nobody has influence over either hehe

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Maybe if the grizzlies were like 3-1 without Ja. But it's gonna be about 30 games and the grizz might be at .800 or better without him. I don't understand how that can be ignored. By definition he wouldn’t be that valuable. Can they win a championship without him? No. But it's a regular season award and they clearly don't need him to still be dominant in the regular season

 

[picasso swerve]

Bron really gonna push for the play in knowing you gonna get humiliated with a sweep by the Suns? Aint it better to just take the L and not even make it at this point.

 

[earldagoat]

Dang, these two are crushin' the anthem right now

 

[Mister Meaner]

Detroit gon be nice af very soon. They could use some smart drafting or young FA signings.

Remember how we used to argue whether it's AD's team or not...glad we all know now

I mean, the evidence is overwhelming at this point.

 

[chao7]

I remember arguing with a friend IRL that AD has simply been too injury prone to be a reliable franchise guy before he ever went to the Lakers. Has nothing to do with his talent. Reminds me of Julio with the Falcons. Dude was good for maybe 11 games a year on average.

 

[Coupé It]

I agree with Stan.

This doesn’t really matter tho. Ja’s not in contention ahead of the bigs anyways. He’s not even ahead of Luka IMO.

Congrats osh kosh bosh . Canada made the World Cup before the Olympics.

 

[wavycrocket]

Was gon post this in the fools wilding thread, but I noticed Ro Parrish is in the comments. And **** Ro Parrish!

[amitt5504]

Ran into Stringer again today. This time he was being a family man with his child

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Drummond isn't for the ball sacking

 

[picasso swerve]

Should the MVP be the player with the best year period as opposed to the most “valuable” to his team?

Or is this just semantics.


















I never used the word semantics in a sentence in my life so I figured now would be my only chance to. I feel smart af.
