We're talking about why Giannis voters will vote for him. The Bucks have been the best regular season team, by record. That weighs heavily in MVP...
No, that would be petty and ridicule-worthy. Fortunately, he has the good sense not to do something like that.
The case for Giannis isn't just "best player on best team". That's a heuristic for picking out a viable MVP candidate. Not definitively deciding...
Well, because that's not the basis of the comparison @D-rock was going by: He is talking about Harden's individual dominance this season as a...
My agenda in this case is correcting a historically-ignorant statement. It is ridiculous to say that Harden’s season is somehow comparable to...
That’s cool. I’m just saying that what Harden is doing this year is more similar to Kobe’s season than Wilt’s, in terms of frequency of points...
If I knew that to be true (that he has done more to contribute to wins) then the MVP question is already settled. We can only try to indirectly...
You can also compare Kobe’s 35 ppg season to what Harden is doing. Kobe’s season was far more comparable to Harden’s than what Wilt did back in...
It’s more than that. First, I don’t think the MVP vote should be decided on historic individual games. Harden’s peak performances this year...
I don’t think the second table says all that much without at least also looking at minutes, turnovers, shot attempts, and probably also +/-. I...
The case for Giannis is legit. MVP numbers (like upper-echelon MVP numbers), super defense, easily the best player on his team, team had the best...
All of them seemed to have a friendly relationship with Harden (Arizona ties?), so probably just having some fun with it.
Good points. Harden’s defense this year is good in some respects, but overall I would not say it is good. It’s really hard to argue that a guard...
I agree with the logic of your last sentence. It’s the per minute productivity (or per minute impact) comparison that is questionable. By the box...
Harden has been awesome, Jordan was on a different level IMO. A more efficient offensive player, a top defensive player at his position, and he...
Did you just never watch a Bulls game or something?
This will be a very close 2-way race. Compelling arguments for both players. The next game against Milwaukee may end up deciding it.
That’s a good one.
