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

[FunkDoc1112]

When Houston came to the Knicks Patrick was 34 years old.



Curry had a great season.
The only reason he might not be an MVP in the 90s is because no team would have allowed any player to attempt 900 three pointers in a season.

But that's not relevant. Curry won the MVP and he deserved it.

Just out of curiosity:
The league shot .452 this season (.354 from 3)

20 years ago it was .462/.367
In 1990-1991 it was .474/.320

It's more complicated than that. But worth noting.

That's pretty misleading. FG% is lower because team's shoot a way higher percentage of threes now. eFG% and TS% tell a better story than FG%

'91 League eFG%: .487
'96: .499
This year: .502, highest ever.

[Roland Coltrane]

When are we going to stop saying this dumb shyt? For every T-Mac, there's another player of similar experience who would disagree with him.

ZACTLY

 

[thekidvoodoo]

Just shows that Curry is seen as a "good negro."

For now.

By your stupid standard, we can include Dirk, Kobe, Dwade, and even Garnett and Pierce from 2010-present.

That's not how eras work in sports.

So we can include Grant Hill even though injuries cut his prime short, but someone like Durant can't be thrown in

 

[010101]

shyt started when they ended the iso era
nikkas running from match ups and shyt

i need one of the gawds to go hard to get this point across
there's a difference between contact and a foul

to hit or push another player is a foul but they be on some shyt with the little bumps and brushes now
nikkas going crazy throwing themselves into their man trying to draw whistles and shyt

all the fukkery they're going through trying to remove physicality from sport
basketball is a contact sport/contact doesn't equal to a foul you dunce ass dikk blowers jahahahaa

i'm just a youngin backing the last of the sports goons and the chuckers
we do it for ricky davis nikka jahahahaa

Kobe's peak was arguably '08, some would argue '05, Dirk's '08 as well, I would say Wade's '08 but he's in the playoffs right now, Garnett peaked in '07, and Pierce peaked in '06.

Durant's go to move is getting fouled, he's not worthy to tie Grant Hill's shoes, so no, we can't, that's life

T-Mac at one point was as good if not better than a prime Kobe Bryant. In those days the Western Conference was 10 teams deep, there where years where teams went over .500 and still didn't make the playoffs

he was better than kobe for a few years in my eyes. i do miss those games

and when prime bron and prime wade faced in each other in the mid to late 00s

where have the rivalries gone?

Nowadays rivals join forces because they can't handle losing on their own my ninja

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

I don't think his comments are jealousy fueled tbh

nope not even slightly. he's just saying that back when MJ & them played they werent unanimous and they are the A1 tier so theres clearly a lot less A1 talent if Curry is the one getting it unanimously

 

[Edub]

you sound like the baseball writer voters who wont didnt give Griffey a unanimous vote because Ruth and Cob were not unanimous. Stop being stupid

no, what's stupid is that the others who deserved it were denied unfairly...so by doing this its taints the credibility of the award itself.,,ITS CALLED LACK OF CONTINUITY...baseball is actually good about this...just because u like the guy here in this moment getting the award doesn't mean the others should be somewhat lessened today....u feel like it's stupid ok...but it literally makes no sense and it actually cheapens the award down to a "popularity" award...because that's the only reason a unanimous would be given over wilt and mj. Nah, no Bueno

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

If LeBron didn't get any votes, that would be surprising.
