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

[Rout3r2035]

Considering current Curry is a far better player than T-Mac ever was...

 

[NYC Rebel]

He's right tbh, and he wasn't hating, he explicitly says it's much deserved, I agree with him on both.

I don't see how he was right when the watering down of the league took place at the very time he used as an example

 

[Dwight Howard]

Dude not even hating though

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Besides an unanimous mvp being arbitrary as hell, all it takes is 1 jackass homer to vote for his guy knowing it has 0% bearing on the end result, it's mainly just a testament to the warriors' dominance. ..there's absolutely no shortage of mvp candidates this year that would have compelling cases in eras previous. ..if GS didn't exist khawi prolly wins his 1st mvp in a tightly contested with lbj and the duo in okc...it's not as if there were no legit candidates this season and steph ran away with the award on some process of elimination shyt...he led the greatest regular season team of all time with an all time great individual season. ..ain't shyt watered down bout that

There were rules changes that assisted to it.

Your problem is that you compare teams from today against the past using TODAY's context.

It wouldn't necessarily work that way.

The only rule change that forced this was the addition of the zone, once teams figured out they could exploit the zone principles you needed shooting. Tom Thibodeau is the one to blame for this, it's his defense that every team is running with.

I can compare teams from today because they're built upon the past, and there's nothing from the past that would stop them from playing exactly the same way they do now, in fact without the zone it would be even worse.

Idk how you can hate Stephen though

You act like this is the 1st time anyone criticized the voters
You saying I'm hating on Steph when I didn't even mention him shows you aren't objective

Nobody is saying you can't compare teams.
But you can't take a team that shoots 30 three pointers and compare them against a team where the context of their era dictated that nobody shot 30 threes.

That's an irresponsible comparison.
Parameter adjustments have to be made.

It's a different era.
TMac gotta get over it.

Breh, even though it's different era, the league ain't that much different. All these old heads or whatever are just hating. nikkas are really upset that nobody can stop Curry from hitting 3s. Who's fault is that? It's not like everybody just stands behind the 3 line now.

And no, I'm not a Curry "fan". Idt I've ever commented in a Curry thread, actually

They playing the same game, rim is the same height, freethrow is the same distance and three point line is the same distance (Unless we're talking about 95-98 ). If we can't compare, how can you say those teams were better, which you often do

It's only irresponsible because the older teams wouldn't win these hypothetical matchups and nobody likes it when their childhood is disrespected.

Lol.
You're just being retarded.
You'd compare the 27 yanks to the 01 Mariners and argue it's the same shyt because the bases are still 90 feet apart.

I don't watch baseball

And I don't acknowledge segregated eras if I did

You probably think George Mikan would give the Warriors 60.

 

[Gravity]

The quality of play and teams speak for themselves The only series out of the entire NBA playoffs that has displayed consistent relatively high quality play from both teams is the Spurs-Thunder. Most of this shyt is hard to even watch.

 

[King Poetic]

Steph is clearly the best player in the league, and I ain't even a fan. Sounds like he just hating, ain't certain point it's just hating.

Only losers make excuses, the league is watered down as far as the talent across the league is spread thin, has nothing to do with curry being the MVP.

If the league is watered down why isn't anybody else doing what curry is this doing?

the same losers like james harden and dwight howard will be saying the same shyt 15 years from now in 2030 about the league being watered down..... then youngstas in 2030 going to call them haters......it's going to continue on and on

you guys get worked up over a dude opinion....
