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

[Black_Panther_JS]

it's kinda true

Wade had 30 - 5 - 7.5 - 2.2 and didn't win MVP
Kobe had 35 - 5 - 5 - 2 and didn't win
AI had 30 - 4 - 8 - 2.5 and didn't win

etc...

sooo many people have had years with 30 points while still being efficient and never won
Curry does it an wins it UNANIMOUSLY, that's crazy

 

[Leasy]

This bul Tmac is a hater to the fullest my God.

It may come off as harsh but he's got a point.
How many other first-ballot Hall of Famers are playing in their primes right now? Bron?
Where are the prime equivalents of Malone, Shaq, DRob, Kobe, Hakeem, Ewing, Duncan, etc?
This is indisputably the weakest point the NBA has been in terms of top players.

You gotta take this voting thing with a grain of salt.
I'm not sure how much unanimous means.

The point is, he won and he deserved to win.

But if we're being serious about it, there have been years where a player could have easily been the unanimous choice and wasn't...for a variety of reasons.
Someone noted that after the 2012-2013 season, Lebron James was not the unanimous MVP because 1 person decided to cast a vote for Carmelo Anthony. There's no way that couldn't have been explained by anything other than a voter being a total a$$hole.

Yall watch the clip?

Holy shyt

The fury in your responses

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Nah that was the 90's

The only good thing about the 90's was MJ

You know it's trash when Reggie Miller is considered a superstar

 

[BrothaZay]

he's right

 

[Draje]

The league didn't adopt that just because, the modern NBA defense forced high level shooting to become priority, it forced ball movement being a priority now because teams can and do load the strongside. This isn't just a case of them moving the line and dudes just deciding to firing up threes, it's the evolution of NBA defenses that has caused this, this is cause and effect.

Trolling aside or not, you have always looked past that point, ie. a lot of those great teams from the past would get their soul snatched against the Warriors because of the defensive principles today in conjunction with simple math of 3>2. They were not built to play against a team like this.

I really don't think people understand this. The Warriors are an elite defend that's also elite at getting easy threes with a bunch of amazing shooters.

Three pointers are the great equalizer but GS is ungodly good at shooting them.

Who did they lose too though, that's the whole point.

Nobody this year is own curry's level, that's clear, you can't compare pass years that's not how it works.

 

[daboywonder2002]

go back and listen to what T Mac said. He's right. It is crazy that Steph is the FIRST to win a unanimous mvp. Jordan, Shaq, Lebron have never done it. But Steph has. I got nothing but love for Steph but that's crazy. And check this out. It's watered down because everyone knew he was gonna win it unanimously. It was actually talked about before it even happened.

 

[Loose]

The way talent is distributed he's right

Problem with rattling off top names like you did is that they all weren't in the middle of their primes at the same time. Like when Kobe emerged as a dominant superstar Ewing, Hakeem and D Rob were either retired or shells of their former selves.

It's really all about perspective when measuring the great players of todays game - 20 years from now you'll be looking at Durant, Westbrook, Paul as some of the best players at their respective positions in league history. Not to mention LeBron and likely Curry having a shot at GOAT's of their positions.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

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....

What about champions who feel that way?

I just think people are making too big of a deal of a pointless side note. One dumbass person is the difference between Shaq not getting unanimous in '00 and LeBron in '13. The guys who they voted for were Allen Iverson & Carmelo, who wouldn't be top 5 players this season.

In the grand scheme of things MVP being unanimous is irrelevant, but its still impressive that he absolutely dominated voting.

 

[BrothaZay]

The 00's were fukking terrible. I don't know what T-Mac is talking about. Thank god for Dantoni for changing shyt for good.

You're a dumbass.

2000s was the peak of NBA talent wise
