Not sure why Drummond's upset lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

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.

Durant or Giannis imo are the best players period

But after the period I would say only Jokic, Embiid or Giannis should win MVP

 

[B Sox]

Marcus Smart is the best defender in basketball.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Booker not playing around lately

Well if we go by the first classification Lebron is missing a few MVPs.

Of course not. He’s trying to get that Super Max cuh

 

[addict4sneakers]

Embiid is too good

 

[amitt5504]

Book might get 70 at this rate

You right tho a lot of the extra comes from people arguing what does MVP mean. If it was just called the player of the year award it would simplify the whole discussion

Does baseball also have these ridiculous MVP discussions?

 

[pmatic]

Absurd shot making by Book.

Not even close

You’ll get MVPs from teams not even making the playoffs and nobody cares to fake debate it

That’s wild

But after thinking about it it kinda makes sense, there’s so many players on the field. Just a diff dynamic than hoops

 

[amitt5504]

Fixed

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damb, Kuminga not off to a great start these past few games going into the starting lineup

 

[amitt5504]

All jokes aside, the pairings of Jim/Jo and Tobi/Maxey got the offense humming these past games

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Harden be throwing that Kobe elbow lately

 

[addict4sneakers]

Need point Draymond to make some plays out there

Dubs looking great again without their 2nd most important player

Ro Parrish is a little weird but he's fine to me. People hated Stu back in the day for the same thing - the constant hip hop references they felt like was overdoing it. They said "corny" then like now. I'm fine with it because I'd rather see that than the countless 'other' anchors on sportscenter or tv generally that were making Michael Mcdonald references, completely unaware of black culture or just flat out misreporting what was being said, done or referenced by the players themselves.

One of the sportscenter anchors the other day used a biggie reference 100% wrong on either Wednesday or Thursday and you could just hear that he had no clue. I'll take Ro, his tiny self and his tinted glasses doing weird countdowns on his apartment balcony or whatever, over that all day.

Eh Stuart Scott was alright to me, definitely corny at times but you could see that was genuinely him.

Ro on the other hand just seems forced, dropping unnecessary lyrics every other sentence.

Like a Great Value Stuart Scott on speed or something. Mans as authentic as Khloe Kardashian's body.

No barking from Pat Beverages tonight.

 

[picasso swerve]

She aint have to sneak in the “old man” comment.

 

[Public Enemy]

[B Sox]
