McGrady on Curry unanimous MVP "It just tells you how watered down our league is"

[NYC Rebel]

Even if that were to be true, Durant is still the better scorer (regardless if he isn't as good as Pierce at an arbitrary area of scoring - that's like saying Westbrook is better in the post than Curry is, yet Curry is still the better scorer). I don't get what's so hard to understand about this. He scores more points on better efficiency. Besides I still don't know why we're on this 'Durant can't back down players in the post' tip - when he isn't that type of player (he's more finesse than power) - yet he still manages to be one of the best and most efficent scorers when posting up:

The above is players ranked in accordance to FG% on post up attempts this season. Durant ranked 2nd in players who had at least 100 post ups (only behind Diaw) - just to put this into perspective, here are the #s/%s for other notable post scorers with similar attempts:

Durant - 60.9% on 115 post up attempts

Duncan - 43% on 121 post up attempts
Gortat - 46.8% on 124 post up attempts
Kanter - 48.4% on 128 post up attempts
Valanciunas - 47.7% on 151 post up attempts
LeBron - 47.8% on 157 attempts (although LeBron did have 42 more attempts - Durant was by far more efficent)

T-mac is correct

Look children, when nikkaz name Mike Adams is considered a problem out here then yeah.. like, Eldon Campbell would get Tristan Thompson money and Tristan would be manhandled by Kevin Duckworth. This league is a joke in terms of overall talent.

Harold Minor would have lived up to his baby jordan hype

This is a decent opinion, but there's no facts, so lets just ignore how you feel right now. The game has changed, the players far better than those of the past (Statistically speaking) and while McGrady was a beast player, he wasn't exactly "roughing" dudes up. In fact; he was never about any confrontation...passed kicking a ball twice like a baby.

Are the rules watered down? Yes. Are the players? Hell no.

its watered down as far as superstars go, however this nba era has superior role players to any other era. You got teams having bench rotations that would wipe off any 90s bench off the map, today there are los of players who can play some D and knock down a few shots. I mean shiiit a superstar like ewing his best scoring help in 90s was starks and allan houston

But as a Knicks fan, everyone knew that Starks wasn't great. He was a streaky as they came, but a fan favorite because he played with fire. Allan Houston on the other hand, would thrive in todays game. Wide-open shots and all he has to do is shoot....but no one thought he was great either. We knew he wasn't versatile. They weren't premier G's, just serviceable. Hell, H20 didn't even have any fans. Take stocky-a$$ Rock who scored multiple ways - He could kill you post, midrange, and long distance. He doesn't get enough respect.

T-Mac is a dumb nikka...

Steph had a 30/5/6 on 50/40/90 with a 30+ PER and 18+ WS his team set the All-Time record in wins, that nikka was great he had a HISTORIC year deserving of a unanimous MVP.

Westbrook, KD, LBJ, Kawhi, George were all animals this year, the way CP3 carried the Clippers with Griffin out most of the years was MVP worthy shyt. Prime T-Mac wouldn't get a single vote if he was on this ballot for MVP. Steph was just that good.

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

How many times T-Mac been out of the first round?

 

[Killigraphy]

I don't think T-Mac is watching the games, people are trying to guard him, its just not working. He's that good. Its like when Barkley was screaming up and down "Guard Jordan!"...right like nikkas haven't been trying...

 

[CrimsonTider]

There are way more bad teams in the league today than have ever been

I would give the MVP to LeBron because they're a way different team without him

The Warriors are still dominant without Curry but whatever



TMAC was right there league is watered down because there are too many teams

Get rid of 3-4 teams and you'll have more stars per team

Please dont speak on basketball again.

Go write poetry or some shyt

And Steph didn't even have to push off....

That's not true. For the first time in probably 40 years every playoff team had a winning record.

They are built around him, of course they're a way different team. Much like Cleveland was way different without Love & Irving in the finals...........

Because they aren't built around Steph. He just happened to become better than anyone ever imagined.

T-Mac is wrong. Michael Jordan was making the playoffs with 30 win teams in the 80's. Guess Dallas made that possible huh? The NBA hasn't added any teams since T-Mac retired.

No you won't. You would more than likely contract bottom tier team which have no stars anyway.

3/4 of the comments are in the moment dikk riding Curry fans catching feelings because T-Mac spoke the truth.

What's true about what he said?

Why does one reporter voting for Melo over LBJ in '13 and AI over Shaq in '00 mean anything

You got guys who've had amazing dominating seasons but didnt get a unanimous vote. (I mean damn Wilt avg 50 pts, you would think he would have at least have one unanimous MVP)

It just looks kinda funny with Curry of all players being the 1st, which is true.
