Bruh why that shyt look like the award you get at the end of the season on 2K?!

Well deserved for Harden. He’s been the runner up the past 3 years , and he definitely had an MVP caliber season .

 

[010101]

He's already cursed with injury. Maybe this will be a reverse jinx.

sorry you know that's not how it works

Isn't that what he won also

nah top.shotta.spida was voted best rookie by the players*

Dont like the awards

I want to see the MVP win it in front of the home crowd

I mean damn can anyone give a decent speech? That was a weak speech. Durant's speech might be the greatest I've seen. I need to watch Iverson's again. Maybe tv time has something to do with it? if so move it off tv.

They were afraid Westbrook might win the award again and not even have a playoff game to provide a crowd for.

They would've won. The Spurs struggled with them when healthy. They never beat OKC fully healthy. With Wade getting washed and Bosh retiring, no one was going to beat them

I think they win in either 2013 or 2014 barring injury with Harden. I think they had the Spurs figured out.

The Spurs teams that struggled with OKC were 2012 (no Kawhi) and 2016 (Duncan washed and OKC's front line had developed into monsters). Neither of those examples is representative.

The good version of the Spurs, those 2013-2015 years when Kawhi had come up and Duncan was still a force, did not struggle with OKC.

The only time that team faced the Thunder was in 2014. The Spurs won in 6 with the margins in the home games being 17, 35, and 28. Three big-time blowouts.

So let's assume that Serge was healthier and gets a few more of Perkins/Adams minutes. And if Harden was there he's taking minutes and shots away from Reggie Jackson, Fisher, and Jeremy Lamb. Those are definitely upgrades....but in 2014 is that enough to change a blowout into a win? I don't think you can assume that.

Rudy Gobert only played 37 more minutes than DeMarcus Cousins and Boogie DIDN'T PLAY A SINGLE GAME AFTER JANUARY

That French fakkit played the fewest EVER amount of games for a DPOY

AD got robbed

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Harden is the worst MVP ever. Worst than Nash.

 

[ArthurNunes]

AD got robbed

Also averaged less total rebounds, less defensive rebounds, less blocks, and less steals than AD too
Also was playing off the floor from getting cooked so badly against the Rockets in the 2nd round while AD was averaging 29/11 and 40 MPG vs. the Warriors

Win DPOY while being unplayable against basic PnR and perimeter shooting in 2018 brehs
