NBA MVP Discussion 20/21 (Fresh poll ➥ Vote)

[Dupp]

Aren’t the Nuggets a “bum team”?

[Gibson22]

L for phila, good game for joel.
So, compared to lebron:
-Embiid has 2.5 less Ws, 5 more missed games
- Kawhi 1Ws, 4 more missed games
-Giannis 4.5 Ws, 1 more missed game
-Jokic 5ws, 0 more missed games

[Dirk]

lmao lebum pads his stats against bum teams all week and now plays Jokic and disappears in the second half

Jokic is the clear MVP right now..bronsexuals are a weird breed

And here we see the homo retardicus, an ancient species said to be almost extinct, mainly due to the big intellectual wave. It is extremely rare to see this creature in the open, as most have retreated due to societal evolution and it's lack to adapt to their new surroundings.

Lebum, bronsexuals, retardicus, etc...

This really isn't the topic for that type of back and forth. There are plenty of other Lebron related topics to go at each other.

Let's try to keep the discussion at a good level and respect other users and fan bases.

Dismantling a troll post with sarcasm seemed to be the logical response, as others might genuinely provoke a discussion, which is within the posters intent. It also takes 2 minutes to look at the posters posts and date of joining to know it's either a burner account or a troll account, both of which would only lead to the result of banning the account in itself, as it doesn't add but only subtract to the discussion. I was just being a good samaritan and pointing the obvious out.

I get you, but this topic aims to be different from other GB topics. So, best to just use the report button on potential trolls, burners, etc... as opposed to feeding bad posts.

[Sgt Major]

But reporting is snitching and replying is funnier

[Maze]

Low Key, I could see Devin Booker throwing a hat in the race.He's finally starting to look comfortable playing with CP3.Plus his team is winning this year.

[boogiezen]

Damn. Luka starting to play like an MVP candidate but his team sucks ass.

[kuclas]

Chris Paul is the real mvp of the suns. He just knows how to run an effective offense. Even at age 35. Look what he did for a young okc team last season.

[ShotCreator]

MVPS mean nothing but they’ll start to actually tarnish reputations if LeBron could win over guys like Jokic and Embiid this year.

You know the Nuggets are not even top 6 in the West right?

you realize LA isn’t even close to #1 in the conference right? Let alone league.

Give the damn thing to Gobert or Conley if that’s the level of thought put into the award.

But it won’t be. Which is why it’s ultimately worthless. It’s beginning to be the worst award I’ve ever seen in sports considering what it’s trying to do.

People actually argued, for years, actual years, the guy is a selfish ball monopolizer who lowers a teams ceiling.

3 different franchise the past 4 years and they all know, love, and respect his game for what it is.

If this guy actually had competent teams in his prime....he’d still be underrated, but the (Please Use More Appropriate Word) arguments wouldn’t have existed so much.

[Gibson22]

Oh, kawhi is injured, didn't catch it.

-Embiid
-Jokic
-Lebron

look like the only serious candidates rn

Stop it. Jokic isnt an MVP candidate until his team is at least top 3. And even historically speaking, he really isnt then either.

They’re only 1.5 games back of the Jazz for #1 in the conference AND league, wtf? Get into the top 3 of the conference then maybe you can talk

Then maybe I can talk?

Why would I listen to you say anything ever? You’re literally reading conference standings to determine MVP. But I’m the wtf guy?

What is your use here? We know who the best teams are. Your logic kills all fandom. All discussion. Just wait for the winning team and the get on your knees.

And by the way, give me your logical determination of why the hell i would ever care about top 3 seeding as opposed to say top 5? Why so arbitrary? What is the value of the rank of 3?

CP3 on Lakers with recovering Dwight Howard and Kobe in his last great year would have been amazing

Only knock on Chris Paul is his injury history especially in the playoffs

Otherwise he’s still a fantastic player and he’s bucking the Father Time trend for small point guards who usually sees significant decline after age 30. I’d love to have him on sixers over Ben Simmons.

So this is topic for best team reward, not most VALUABLE player? If Jokic had lets say Beal, Durant, Kawhi as 2nd best player, then you could take that into account..

Thats how it's always done tho. There is a precedent here. ATM, it's only Lebron and Embiid. Jokic get's into it if the Nugs climb the standings

Jokic is Top3 on every page tracking MVP leaders, but on this forum he is not even the candidate?
