Race to MVP IV

[PCProductions]

Yeah, that Kenny Smith...what a moron. I mean it's not like Durant has clearly become the second best player in the league or anything. Durant is absurdly good right now. Only thing keeping him from being the best player in the NBA is because LeBron isn't human. And yes, I know, it was silly to think in 2010 Durant was going to catch LeBron by 2013 considering LeBron's age in 2010 and unbelievably good he was at the time. But Durant is averaging 29-8-5 on 52/42/91 and 66% TS an 57% eFG; and he's on the team with the second best record in the league. It's starting to look like he's going to have one of the best non-MVP seasons of all-time.

Third best. Just sayin.

I think with the performance TP put on national tv yesterday was good enough to put him in the 3rd spot along with CP3. There's no way he leap frogged Durant let alone LeBron.

1 LeBron
2 Durant
3 CP/TP

Right, and who is the other player that's better than Durant?

Third best record, he said.

My bad, the bolded part didn't stand out and I missed it.

Props for NaturalThunder for at least staying around, the other normal OKC posters have been laying low

IMO Parker needs 6-8 games ahead LBJ to get it, and some people from San Antonio need to begin talking about him playing with his soul and his heart of a lion.

Yeah, haha. Where is 28reloaded and his advanced stats rampage now when people were telling him LeBron was coasting?

I'm not going to just ignore Durant's season because of what LeBron is doing. At the same time, I'm not going to embarrass myself by trying to say he's more deserving of MVP than LeBron.

Besides, I feel like people should be reminded from time to time of how good of a season Durant is having.

This is all very true. It kinda feels disrespectful to Kevin Durant to simply say he is "slipping" when the mountaintop he was standing on was uncharted territory practically. If he doesn't go 30 PPG on 65 TS% every night, that's considering "disappointing". Amazing the standard of excellence that we hold him and Lebron to, isn't it?

My goodness that guy was the biggest homer I've seen on this site. He lived and breathed Kevin Durant advanced stats.

I don't know why this thread needs to exist, do people need to argue about third place?


Lebron is going to win the award by a landslide, and should receive every first place vote

Durant is going to finish second for the third time already in his career

3rd place is the only real thing in question

I heard they are making a patch for this on the all-star warm-ups next season.

Durant could fill up his entire all-star jersey with those by 2023

Tony parker should be MVP! it's like when jason kidd could never win the mvp as good as he was there was tim duncan shaq etc same thing happening to Parker lebron durant paul. However, Parker just playing at an elite level.

Trolling? If Parker is playing at an elite level, then what is LeBron playing at? Parker is literally only 0.33 PER higher than the next best player on his own team. He's not a huge scorer, he doesn't rebound, and he's one of the worst defenders on the team. How could you possibly try and make a legitimate argument for him as MVP unless you're actually Tony Parker in which it's the only way this post makes sense.
