How the fidduck is Stephen Curry not even an MVPcandidate?

What the?

I look at the NBA award race for the first time ever, and I see the likes of Wade, Harden, Chris Paul, Paul George and even fukking Kobe ahead of him in the top 10.

This dude is shooting 450 from beyond the arc and 446 from the field. Coming of an injury riddled season to lead a young, perennial loser of a team to the playoffs averaging 22-4-7.

What the hell am I missing? Only dudes ahead should be Bron, Durant, Parker and perhaps Melo.

Kobe bryant though, you gotta be kidding

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Him being a candidate doesn't mean much if there's still like 5-6 people better than him

That's kind of a moral victory no?

i agree which is why i typically dont look at those lists. but first he was an all star snub...now this
i'm just wondering what the criteria is anyways

 

[PortCityProphet]

whats the point Bron got it already

 

[OGmittee]

There were people at his position better than him so that too is kind of a moot point

well first, you have to have ankles made of steel and not glass

second, you have to be able to play effective defense against the top PGs in the league and not leave that for Jarret Jack to do

This. Means nothing

right now the warriors are barely a sixth seed. if they fukk up 1 too many times they could get knocked out the playoffs. if you're not one of the best players in the league you at least need to lead your team to more victories than everybody else.

the mvp has become a popularity contest..

i won't be surprised in a couple of years fans will be the one doing the voting..

don't be surprise to see the WHITE MAMBA BRIAN SCALABRINE GETTING VOTES EVEN WHEN HE'S NOT IN THE LEAGUE NO MORE

It's a joke that a player whose team would not even be in the playoffs if they started today is in any "MVP ladder"

David Lee should be MVP candidate ahead of the lightskin brother....
