Because she said she will vote for Lebron as MVP only because of Kobe's death

The integrity of the MVP voting results will be tarnished if this woman is allowed to vote. Tarnished!

If this were 1920, she wouldn't even have a vote!

My vote is still Melo.

In 2017 she picked Danny Green over Paul George, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler for all defensive team.

She said because of where LeBron is and all that he is going through with Kobe's death. The tragedy is somehow on LeBron's shoulders' so he should get it.

What is your point? I mentioned three players and you can only bash one. Great post.

Ha. Ok.

Well, here she is... a woman who needs viewers and clicks to keep her job. Or, at least notoriety.

And we're talking about her on Real GM. So she "wins" in today's media landscape.

Shes shown to have terrible reasoning but its not summed up by this.
I dont care about her vote, its more so the propaganda she spews daily.

Ha, thats it? If thats the criteria, most of the voters should lose their right to vote for snubbing Harden for any all-nba spot for Kyle Lowry and Klay Thompson in 2017.

My point was pretty clear, Thompson does not belong in that category. The others definitely deserved defensive honors over Green.

You're acting so defensive, perhaps Nichols will vote for you this season

I agree with you about about her narratives; her vote is just more evidence she is incompetent.

Your first reply was more of a hot take agenda against Klay. Totally ignoring the other two players ( George and Butler ).

How is it a "hot take"? The man hasn't played in almost a year. I was simply stating that Thompson should not be considered a top-tier defender amongst the likes of Butler and George.

You overreacted, it's alright, it happens when you're not clear about a poster's intent

She's almost as big of a Lebron shill as Brian Windhorst. Remember the 2018 finals when a lot of people thought Curry should have won FMVP over Durant? I had no problem with her voting for Durant. But in order to try and sow discord within the Warriors and help Lebron out she proceeded to ask Curry in the post game if it hurt that he didn't win FMVP.

The crew in the video clearly state she picked Danny Green over Thompson, Butler, and George in 2017; and that is the primary reason for them that she should not get a vote in any award.

That’s not true, that’s why players had a problem with the Max contract. Players missing out on all nba teams due to the media affects their contract negotiations
