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

[Black_Panther_JS]

Westbrook ain't on curry level be serious man

almost as efficient and stats look waaaay better

 

[Malta]

Wade did something close to that 2 more times
Kobe did 5+ times, and so did AI

Something "close" isn't actually doing it.
Kobe did not average 35/5/5 5+ times


You're just talking about scoring 30 guess you think Adrian Dantley & Bernard King deserved an MVP then.

T-mac was dealing with injuries in his rockets days for the most part.

As far as him wishing he'd stayed in Toronto:

Damn you tmac. Toronto wouldve got to a finals. No way sixers neat toronto with Tmac. Bucks wouldve got that work as well.

West Brook average 23.5 ppg Stepth Curry average 30.1 what are you talking about

no cause there was waaay more competition and more people putting up stats like that, unlike now which is my whole point

and anyway they all had plenty of seasons where they averaged 30 - 5 - 5 or something close and they were never unanimously the MVP (Wade, Kobe and AI)
cause there was more competition and that was never considered MVP stats; at least unanimously

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

West Brook average 23.5 ppg Stepth Curry average 30.1 what are you talking about

also averaged 10 assist
8 rebounds
and 2 steals

Curry averages 2.1 steals and 5.4 rebounds, the gap with scoring is way wider than those stats.

You can't be MVP when there's a conversation about being more harmful to your team than good or that you are taking shots away from the real superstar. No matter how bogus it is, with real MVP's there isn't even room for that type of talk.

Well truth is, theres not really anyone on par with Curry for this seasons MVP race. So to a degree, he may be right. Thats not a knock though. Because it means 1 of 2 things.

• Either the NBA is currently struggling superstar wise

• NBA voters have just been haters that refused deserving stars of unanimous votes just to send a message

or

• Curry is just such an insanely over the top talent that he is like.. breaking the game damn near.

I mean, not even during Bird, Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Bill Walton, Wilt or any other season has there been a unanimous MVP. TMac could be wrong, or he could be right. Maaaaaaaaaybe its not that theres no competition, but simply that the MVP voters have stopped being petty and decided to let a nikka get a unanimous vote when deserved.

also not the #1 scoring option
looks what he did when he was the #1 last year

also why 5 rebounds isn't impressive

Was Rachel Nichols always that chubby? I couldn't stop staring at her arms.

You can't be the MVP if not the first option on your team.

true... except Russell is the Point Guard

Naw. He's right.

I been saying this for 2 years now.

The league is at a low point for talent. There are barely any superstars left.

 

[GatorStaceyAdams]

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.

What?

 

[DrX]

funny because the league was more watered down when he played
