Steph Curry is a legit MVP Candidate

[ISO]

So he’s playing at a higher level with a better cast around him only to be 1 game better in the standing than Steph? Make it make sense

Nobody is playing at a higher level than Jokic individually this season.

 

[Chabot College]

Jokic is playing at a higher level than Steph.

Nobody is playing at a higher level than Jokic this season and eventually the wins should pile for Denver.

Not sure why people surprised at Steph I mean it’s Steph. He’s an MVP candidate but not even top 5 as of right now.

I feel the exact same away about the Warriors. They havent won more than 2 games in a row, but they havent lost more than 2 games in a row either.

 

[McPiff]

Joel bron and kawhi/pg13 if we go by team records.

Jokic is on pace for an historical season tho

 

[Street Knowledge]

I think he needs a top 4 seed to win it. People will be like what about Russ, he averaged a triple double

Nuggets are right there with the Warriors record wise and they were supposed to be a top team in the west. Jokic has no argument to be over Stephy. Clippers have to really distance themselves for one of them to get it. If they finish a game ahead of the Lakers, Bron still got the edge. Warriors get up to that 4/5 range, which is doable and he has a legit shot.

The narrative has been written for one of the big men or Bron to get it. Steph is balling but he ain't MVP this season.

Jokic has been the best player this season.

To me, league MVPs being awarded based on regular season play is as antiquated as conferences and divisions.
Apparently, this is a hot take, because it starts arguments everywhere I bring it up, but look at this past NFL season.
Aaron Rodgers won the MVP and got served that work in the conference championship game.
Pat and Brady faced off in the Super Bowl. 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now, this NFL season will always be about the Brady/Mahomes Super Bowl. One of them should be the MVP. I'd vote Mahomes, but I'd be fine with Brady winning it.
Last year in the NBA, Giannis bytched out in the second round. Choked, just like the year before. Jimmy Butler took an unheralded Heat team to the championship game, and Bron got another ring. Either one of those 2 should win it.
I don't care about stats, context, any of that. Either you're a player on a team whos game is elevated to the point that you can get your squad to a championship, or you're not.
I'm a Bills fan. Josh Allen shyt the bed in the conference finals, but he got MVP votes and Brady, who switched teams, called his shot, and won a championship with a new squad, got no votes.
Like, how the fukk does Steve Nash have 2! (almost 3!) MVPs, and Kobe has 1. 1! Smh. Are you kidding me. Kobe wasn't the most valuable player in the league in 2009 when the Lakers beat the Magic in the finals? Or the next year when they beat the Celtics? For real? You're telling me, when the purple and gold confetti started falling, the Lakers were officially back to back champions, beat the hated celtics, and Kobe's holding up the L-O-B and finals MVP trophies, your first thought, or your memory of that moment is, a decade later
"yup, that was Derrick Rose's year."
You know and I know you don't remember who won it that year, and you know its foolish as shyt to look back on everything that happens and say that man was MVP over Kobe.
Rename the shyt "regular season best in show" and let you chatty kathy's debate ppg and systems, while the entire time it's just an excuse for journalists to set their narratives going into the playoffs and beyond. It's nothing more than media manipulation of some shyt that doesn't need to be rocket science. Ask me right now, whos the best player in the league? "Idk, Bron, maybe KD, let's see what they do on the biggest stage."
But the reply is,
we don't count games that matter when determining who the best players are. This is an award for who brings it the hardest on Tuesday nights in December.
oh word, so the teams that are doing the best obviously have a roster with players who are the most valuable, because they're winning games and beating players who would also be considered for this award, so lets just give it to the best player on the best team?
actually, we don't count wins and losses either, this is about performance.
Oh, ok, that makes sense, let's see here *checks stats* Beal's dropping 33 a game, a full 4 ppg higher than second place, lets crown him
no, no, those stats are inflated because he's on a bad team. You can't go by stats either.
Oh, ok. So we don't use stats or wins and losses, what do we use.
We wait til Goldstein and Silverman tell us who's in the running sometime around April, and then we argue about it on here. We don't really know what the parameters are, we're just buying their narrative.

rodgers didnt get served up he out played brady

 

[Stick Up Kid]

literally 3 games from the 4th seed

Yeah he is.
