At NO stage have I ignored Ben's offensive flaws - I simply stated that if Nash can win 2 MVPs without playing D why can't Ben be considered a legit candidate without playing O....system is BS
If you want to pick a player to start your own team, would you choose Harden or Big Ben? At the end of the day, you need players who can put the ball inside the basket.
I'd argue finding another Ben Wallace is harder to find than finding another Harden...or that it's easier to find scorers than Hall of Fame defensive domination.
But that's me - I obviously value defense more than some
How ironically sounds a guy who hates KCP defends Ben Wallace was a legit MVP because his defense. A completely nonsense.
I know this was directed at Todd but:
You can't compare a quality perimeter defender to a Hall Of Fame interior defender - the big man is so much more valuable
And I'm a big fan of Ben, but you guys are letting your Pistons homer fan talks through you.
I'm no homer - no one has presented a case against Ben being a legit top 5 MVP candidate.
I'm not arguing that he should have won 2 or 3 or 4. I stated that him not being considered a legit top 5 candidate demonstrates how currupt the system actually is.
And no one has argued against that point either.
So...present your cases on both fronts...
Or you could agree thatI'm correct and move on
