Strive for rulership not equality, black man.
If GS just dominate the Cavs.
Do These First 2 Rounds Prove That LeBron Is The Real MVP?
If he does, do you promise not to disappear like you did after the finals last year?

I've already debunked this claim of me disappearing after the Finals, around 20 times now, and yet dudes still want to push these lies. I see you're back to your 2015 form.

The MVP goes to the best regular season performer. The playoffs don't indicate anything about who deserved the award.
Yeah it does - it helps to inform what was really going on. Remember, the award is "Most Valuable Player", not "best performer".
If you give it to a guy because you believe he was carrying the team, and the team continues to play well without him in the playoffs, that tells you he wasn't valuable like you thought he was.
If you give it to a guy because he was piling up empty stats against shyt teams, and the playoffs show that he can't make a difference when the other teams actually play him hard, then that tells you he wasn't really valuable like you thought he was.

This has been the debate about the award, that it doesn't really recognize the player who is the best, it just recognizes who had the sexiest statline among players who played for top teams. The majority of the voters will be choosing Harden or Westbrook even though I suspect all of them would pick LeBron as being a better player than either of them.
Lebron has a chance to win finals mvp, but regular season award goes to russ....
Dude didn't set out every Tuesday night game

You do realize that only about 50 of the games on their schedule are against the East, right?
That the Cavs were 0-8 in the eight games Lebron didn't play?
That there were games like at Miami where the Cavs were +20 in 40 minutes with Lebron on the court, but still lost because they were -23 in 8 minutes with him off?
That Love and JR missed huge parts of the season, and Shump/Kyrie/TT were hurt/struggling for stretches too?
Cavs were on a 60+ win pace until the injuries started. After that, Lebron was carrying the offense and defense every night.
Russ sat out half of every fukking game on defense. Just sat next to the basket building his rebounding stats. Guy literally (receipts to prove it) guarded his man less than any other player in the NBA this year.
And no one says shyt about the games that Kawhi or others sat, even though Kawhi sat just as many. No one has ever lost the MVP for "only" playing 74 games.

Lebron stans want to rearrange everything to make Lebron look good:
1. Regular seasons don't matter at all
2. It's okay to build superteams and still have tha nerve to ask for even MORE help
It's pathetic b!

I was gonna let this thread die and take the L for my hot take after Game 6 of the Spurs/Rockets series but someone brought it back up three days later so with said...
I guess part of my MVP philosophy comes from the fact that I still believe that Jason Kidd deserved the MVP for his 2002 season, especially when the writers gave Steve Nash 2 MVPs for putting up similar stats a couple years later.
