Would u rather win 1 Title or 5 Mvps if u were a player

5 MVPs, cause it means I'm getting paid like there's no tomorrow.

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

Title, that's just me tho

Good thread.

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

It's like comparing AI to Rip or Ginobli....gimme those 5mvp's and the money that comes with it.

 

[Big Boss]

5 mvps not too many athletes have that

 

[TheNig]

it all depends. if i'm DAT nikka on the team then i would want championships becuz it there would be too much criticism. hell if i'm the Steve Kerr type i would still want the championships. Jay Mariotti is a bag with which one douches but he pointed out something very interesting. would we really know who Steve Kerr is today if it wasnt for Michael Jeffrey c00n Jordan? those titles and playing with the right group of people does a lot.

5 MVP's

It means you were a top five player in your sport for some time.

You most likely made stupid money over the course of that time and was a definite superstar.

@ me caring what some cac on a radio show or some nerd on a message board says about me not winning championships while i'm driving by in my lamborghini aventador while a bad bytch is giving me dome.

Something Kobe stans & Lebron stans can agree on.....this real nikka shyt right here

Damn, that Lambo is fukkin clean

 

[Born2BKing]

5 mvps, titles are overrated.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

If you win 5 mvps but don't win a title you will be forever known as a loser ass nikka that came up small in the clutch.If 'Bron had 5 mvps but no rings that nikkas legacy would've got shytted on forever,fukk that.Gimme the ring.

And to the rest of you "knowledgable" posters in here that just forgot Dirk Nowitzki was the 2007 MVP of the NBA, so he doesnt count in this thread. He's a MVP and Champion.




Anyways:
NBA
Would you rather have Steve Nash's (2 MVPs, 0 rings) or Chauncey Billups' (0 MVPs, 1 Ring) career?

NFL
Would you rather have LaDainian Tomlinson's (1 MVP, 0 rings) or Corey Dillon's (0 MVPs, 1 Ring) career?

I think that would answer the thread pretty easily. Me personally, I'm Steve Nash and LT

Okay but the question was if you were taking his 1 title and 1 MVP over Mike/Kareems 5 MVPs. There are no real life examples (in basketball at least) of guys with 5 MVPs so it's really all hypothetical. If we are being technical and semantic we can go in a variety of directions here but the point is the certain guarantees come with 5 MVPs that don't come with winning 1 title.

I went with the title under what I thought was the obvious assumption that we were talking about the same caliber player who just happens to be in different situations...i.e. I'm the MAN on that championship squad and while I may never win an MVP award, I'm gonna be in the running every year of my prime career ( thus max contracts, so no money difference)

:terry: If you were the same caliber player you'd be winning MVP in both cases.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

:terry: If you were the same caliber player you'd be winning MVP in both cases.

Umm, not necessarily as I explained already:

Easy: In both scenarios, I'm me. In the title scenario, I'm playing on a great team, I have a lot of help, while my biggest competitor does not, so he wows folks every regular season (may even lead his inferior team to a better regular season record) and beats me for MVP... bear in mind, my "biggest competitor" may not be the same each year.

In the MVP scenario, my team sucks, I have to do more and I do so, wowing in the regular season, leading my team to far exceed expectations. However, in the playoffs, my team's holes become magnified and I'm never able to win a title.

My capabilities remain the same in both scenarios... and I'd rather have the title.

Now, as @FTBS has pointed out several times in here...this ain't a realistic hypothetical. It's unlikely that a guy that good doesn't win an MVP just like it's unlikely that a 5 time MVP never wins a title, so I understand if people reject the hypothetical altogether, but if you do answer it, then it only makes sense to me that you'd look at comparable players....otherwise you're not speaking to the essence of the question.

 

[The_Sheff]

LOL at people in here trying to have it both ways. Cats want to be a superstar with no MVPs but with a title, knowing damn well that wasnt what was being pondered. Soon as i read the title i knew he meant something like being either Ronnie Turiaf or Magic with no titles. Who in the hell would pick Ronnie Turiaf in that scenario?

 

[Mandizi]

Give me the title.

I'm sure Pierce, Allen, and Wade don't mind having a ring (or two in Wade's case) with zero reg. season mvp awards. All three are still HOF'rs.

 

[SmoothOperator88]

You could be a scrub, win a ring in your first year, and the be out of the league in 2 years. 5 MVPs.
