Shams: NBA implementing minimum 65 games played rule for Major Awards. MVP, All NBA, ROY.

[HiphopRelated]

80% of games is 66, that's fair

Easy solution is to reduce number of games overall or reduce number of teams making the playoffs, so I’m skeptical if this half measure does any good but we will see.

Make it 58 games like the scoring title and be done with it.

Yeah, as much i think 66 games makes the most sense, this is probably the fairest.

Walton never wins his MVP under these rules. Interesting...

4 players/years total - Giannis, Lebron, Walton & Cousy. Bill Russell played 69 games, and everyone else was over 71.

This is stupid, how many players are constantly winning awards and missing substantial amount games?

and if he only plays 64 and misses it, tough shyt.

Can't bytch about load management and then coddle the fukk out of Embiid. NBA fans wanted him to win ROY even though he played for 3 weeks and shyt. Now some fans and media wanna cop pleas over a games minimum everyone wanted. If he dies he dies.

Don't give af

Embiid’s been in the league ten years and only twice has he played 65 games or more

Sixers got like 6 more back to backs on the year

He’s gonna have a tough decision to make—he may have to choose to play in games he historically sits in to remain eligible for the MVP award or he’ll have to choose to rest in hopes of being healthy late in the season for a deep playoff run

Spoiler

Or they’ll find a loophole and have him play the first few minutes of some games and then rest him the rest of the game

Ohhhhh Babbbyyyyy

Edit: wrong thread

Well if he plays hes gonna have 0-0-0 for his stats

Should be 70 games. These brehs have it way too easy.

 

[IGSaint12]

I'm sure the Sixers have mapped out his rest plans up until one day is left.

Cant account for real injuries though. It was silly to blow this many games so early. Dude could legit give you 35, 10, 5 and get nothing. When you think about it that actually benefits the team. nikka could fukk round and not be eligible for a supermax on his next deal.
