I don’t even think he’s leading right now but I think he wins it before the end of the season. You went from a fan to obsessing over how much you don’t like him and his fans. It stems from something and I don’t even wanna know. Sad stuff. Work on that, it might consume a lot of your time, sport


you wrote a paragraph of nonsense lmao you should migrate to reddit..its a plethora of lebron homers, you would fit right in


You will have to be put on suicide watch when LeBron wins MVP bruh..

KD won't have an argument because there's no way he makes up for all the missed games. He's missed 16 out of 72 games already, that's 22% of the regular season games missed at least. He's surely gonna miss at least a quarter of the season, so please don't come here arguing for KD mvp once he comes back and starts playing well, you'll just flood the topic with useless posts, because nobody is giving a guy who misses 1/4 of the season the mvp.

Like I said if there's a media push for it I'm all behind it.

You're not the one deciding the mvp.

Besides If u check my post history in this thread, I've constantly championed embiid for mvp. Lillard for a hot sec when they were a high seed.
I can look past my personal biases for certain players. I don't idolize any of them



KD has no chance at all. He’s missed and will continue to miss too much of the season. Besides the nets are doing great and went on a win streak without him so he wouldn’t even have that narrative going for him.

Exactly and harden is the reason why they have done great without him

Currys been in the mvp race for a long time and jokers not slowly gaining momentum. He’s been the best player all year but they still aren’t winning enough.

His numbers haven been really impressive lately they won and loss back and fourth but if he can get 4-5 he should be heavy favorite to win it .Big if though

I'm not saying it as my opinion, I'm saying it as a fact, nobody who's missed a quarter of a season has ever been an MVP and it won't ever happen, it's a simple fact backed up by data. For that reason, there won't be no media push, there won't be a voter ready to give KD a 1st place vote, there'll just be you unnecessarily taking space here posting that he should be MVP if he plays on a high level. All I'm saying is, don't bother, it ain't worth the time.



Just cause no one has done that in previous seasons doesn't mean it won't happen. Previous outcomes HAVE no bearing on the FUTURE of the mvp if KD presents a new variable. It's a logical fallacy. It is not fact. Only can say fact for the past. And even then how many times have someone missed the first 1/4 season then come back and blew the league out? If kd comes back and drops 35+ the nets don't really lose, i can totally see the media getting behind it if every other candidates team don't break out.

Besides reading comprehension. I said I'll support it IF the media pushes it meaning there must have BEEN a reason. So stop your high and mighty don't post in this thread BS. I can voice my support for whom ever I want. it's not like it matters yours doesn't either. None of us are voters. It's just for fun

I wouldn't even bother with replying to that.

LeBron is literally favorite on every sports book you look at it. Even the biggest LeBron hater wouldn't have him out of the top 3.

Guy is just trolling.

Even with that losing streak, Lakers have a top 2 record in the league. Embiid is my MVP today, but Lebron obviously has a great shot. Books are putting him as the fav for a reason. He's one of literally 2 guys checking off the boxes (top record, undisputed best/most valuable player on the team, narrative). You can hate the way it's awarded but there's no point in denying it and trying to bring something new to the front. Giannis isnt winning it. Harden isnt winning it. KD isnt winning it. Kawhi is basically the only other guy in the convo right now who has a decent shot at winning

People take that losing streak into account and how Lebron couldn’t carry his team. It’s a narrative award and it counts.

It doesn’t change the fact that you have Giannis ahead of LeBron and are going on about how LeBron was “saved” by Schroeder lol. LeBron without his #2 and #3 go on a 4 game L streak and is put against him but Giannis without his #3 is not. I don’t mind your standings but be consistent
