The Coliseum's Official MVP Vote

[King Jove]

What makes Adams so much better than Capela?

more size, more length, better offensive rebounder, better defender, tougher, better free throw shooter.

harden would make adams look even better like he does with capela.

 

[South Paw]

can't give mvp to a player that didn't start in the all star game

 

[hood b. goode]

Not even a contest

 

[Dwight Howard]

Of this list I only see 3 guys who can legitimately guard everyone on here (not counting gobert cause why would they)...Lebron KD and Kawhi...

Of those 3 only one of them is the best offensive and defensive player for his team every single night...Kawhi...

Of those 3 only one of them was picked as the only all star on his team AND still won 60 games...Kawhi...

Of those 3 only one guy plays with a horrendous backcourt...Kawhi...

Of those 3 only one guy is going to take the game winning shot and then play defense against the other guy on the other team who tries to take the game winning shot...Kawhi...

I used to be able to give offensive players the benefit of the doubt for being bad defenders because they have to carry such an enormous offensive load...but Kawhi has gotten up to over 30% usage rate which is pretty much the elite mark...and he hasn't sacrificed any part of his defense while doing it...I never ever thought a player could carry a heavy defensive load, shoot a pretty good percentage from everywhere, AND a heavy offensive usage rate all at the same time but Kawhi somehow has....

I'm also taking into account the absolute dead weight he is saddled with...Tony Parker has 6 games this year where he played over 20 minuets and scored 0 points...he is actually having his worst year across the board since his rookie year...Danny Green...where do I even start...he plays half the game and doesn't average 8 points...DANNY GREEN HAS ONLY SCORED IN DOUBLE FIGURES 20 TIMES...and I'm actually lying about the 20...it's really 18...but that is just so pathetic for a starting two guard I am going to assume that I miss counted multiple times and just give him 20...did I mention he averages half a free throw attempt a game...I guess it was just to much to ask of a starting 2 guard in the nba to stay at averaging .8 freethrows a game like he was doing...bonus points for the most shots he has made in a game this year being...6...I thought Westbrook would have everyone beat in the I play with people who can't score category since he plays with the only guy in the league I wouldn't trade Danny for...Roberson...but Kawhi is right up there with him as far as horrible teammates...

So yeah...I'm going to say being the best defender in basketball WHILE being one of the best offensive players in basketball WHILE being the only selected all star and all nba player on your team WHILE playing with a point guard who is a candidate to play half the game and not score WHILE playing with a 2 guard who can only score 10 points one out of every 4 games WHILE getting your team to 60 wins and being pretty much the second best team in the league throughout the entire regular season...should probably net you the MVP...

Kawhi could never carry a team like Westbrook did this season though

 

[Stress Welker]

Isaiah Thomas

 

[mastermind]

Killing em Kawhietly is the right choice

the right answer, imo.

 

[LEEeveryday]

It's obviously Westbrook ...He be on some 2K shyt...and the team actually needs him to.

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

i was rolling with harden as MVP until the 2nd half of the season when westbrook carried the thunder to a lot of close wins with great defensive plays and clutch shots. i know he hogs the ball and was chasing the triple double but it was hard to deny him the MVP by the last few weeks of the season.

 

[twan83]

Kawhi imo

 

[MoneyTron]

Young Sab

The inhuman production and literally willing his team to victory many nights threw him over the top for me. Harden a very close second.

 

[duckbutta]

He did carry a team this year...to more wins than westbrook did...

 

[mastermind]

Kawhi could never carry a team like Westbrook did this season though

Did you not watch this season?

Or are you saying Kawhi couldn't be Ann inefficient ball-dominant player like Russ? If so, I agree.

 

[KingJay]

My Philly heart says 31 games of Embiid













But gotta give it to the mans

 

[5StarElite]

Russ my nikka but I'm riding wit Leonard

 

[filial_piety]

Gotta be RW....he's done what nobody has been able to do in 50 years...and we'll be lucky if anyone else will do it in another 50
