The Ringer might as well be a subcategory underneath Barstool.

Bill Simmons is a cornball. KOC, too.

bill simmons is probably why there is a barstool

Racial identity crisis is nuts

It’s ridiculous. Especially at the age he claims to have been at the time. Makes me wonder if some of what he wrote was, at the least, embellished for effect.

I forgot who they said put the stat out, but was listening to a pod yesterday and they mentioned that the Nuggets play like a 65 win team or something like that when Jokic is on the court and a 17 win team during the minutes when he's off. Gap isn't nearly as massive with Embiid and Yanni out.

Nuggets were only three games behind the Bucks/Sixers without their second and third player for all or most of the regular season. MVP.

Blog boys won this round

Oh now winning doesn't matter when it comes to MVP's?

Hilarious.

same can be said for embiid though, obv im sure people will say but embiid had tobias and maxey LOLOL please

Embiid played in a MUCH harder conference and EVEN before harden arrived he had the sixers in the top 3 most of the season, When harden arrived not much changed it was still embiids team and not only that he PLAYED BETTER than he did before All Star Break

Denvers Bench > Sixers bench and thats just facts numbers dont lie been like that all season long

all that goes without saying you can LEGIT make a case for all 3 guys

all 3 deserve MVP IMO

LAST YEAR IT WAS IF EMBIID WAS ABLE TO STAY HEALTHY HE WOULD OF WON MVP, HE STAYS HEALTHY AND NOW EVERYONES TONE CHANGES WHE IT COMES TO THE VOTING PROCESS VIA THE MEDIA

just curious as to what changed in the last 2 weeks maybe 3

Tatum 1st team?

Cancel Lowe. Take away his votes

who would you put ahead of Tatum?

 

[B Sox]

Tatum 1st team?

Cancel Lowe. Take away his votes

Why would he not be?

KD played 21 less games and his team was a 7 seed. Bron played 20 less and his team couldn't even make the play-in.

Find a way to put Yanni, Jokic and Embiid on the 1st team

I’m not saying JT had a bad year, CLEARLY he was ballin but you can’t say he deserves to be on 1st team ahead of Embiid

herb over jalen

no Robert Williams either.

 

[elpablo21]

The collusion angle never seemed realistic to get all three on the 1st team ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
