Remove 06 kobe from this thread period he is nowhere near that level. 06 kobe would legit average 40+ in this era, as good as shai is kobe is far more skilled, athletic, and most importantly ruthless. That era of kobe would legit pull off a 45 ppg month with ease. 06 kobe isn't like anyone else on your list
They spoke about this directly in the video, and said Shai and Kobe are both elite midrange, but Shai pressures the rim better, is a better shot taker, and a better defender...

They said Kobe was a better playmaker and big shot maker, and they gave the edge to Kobe because of the carrying '06 Kobe was doing in comparison; his Lakers that year were worst offense in the NBA with him off floor, but elite with him on...

I think Shai is having a deserving historic season. I'm not sure where I'd rank it, though...

I didn’t watch the video yet. But no CP3 seasons were listed? Really?

And no Kobe in 06 was not above and beyond most of that list so we can stop that too.
I forgot to mention him, but yes, they did shout out '09 Chris Paul, and Chris Paul in a general sense!

If you have time to throw it on, it's a good listen while you doing other shyt. The first 30 minutes is the part of the convo they talking about all this!

I went and looked at his basketball reference page


At his age 26. He's already had three seasons of scoring 30 plus points.

Kobe did it three times his whole career

Harden thrice


Steph twice


Allen Iverson five times :ehh:


Shai is in the conversation and at 26 he hasn't even hit his prime yet.

We all know that the MVP is a narrative award. They said it was about winning but they fukked that up by giving it to Russ

Everyone knows that SGA is winning it this year

His team has the best record and he is putting up ridiculous numbers

The narrative is out there

Joker is the most dominant player in the game and is having a ridiculous season but it won't matter

They giving it to SGA

And it's well deserved by the way

The problem I see with the NBA MVP is the media having to make up for giving it to the wrong person the previous season

People thought SGA was deserving last year but they gave it to Joker so now they have to make up for that this year so SGA will get it.

That shyt happens all the time :russ:

Joel Embiid whined and cried when they gave it to Joker so they had to give it to him the next season..

It's annoying
