They finally found the only media voter who didn’t put Nikola Jokic as a top 5 player in the MVP race. It was Mark Jackson

People always saying Bron should have more than 4 MVPs. Which MVP should he have won? Not Rose’s. Not KD’s. You could even make an argument that one of LeBron’s MVPs could’ve went to D-Wade. No, I don’t think Wade should’ve won, but it’s the same argument people have for Kobe winning MVP the year he was a 7 seed.

Bron could have won 7 in a row from 2008 thru 2014, that's the window. Also could have won in '18 and '20...

'08 Kobe was the Lifetime Achievement Award on some, "well I guess it's time we give him the award". It certainly wasn't Kobe's best season, nor even his best season to that point if his career. There was always an argument Paul should have won it and '08 was the first year people started calling Bron the best player in basketball...

We can agree any Wade for MVP conversation was weak...

We all know why '11 Rose won it. That was the year people acknowledged "LeBron Fatigue" on some, he hasn't won a championship yet. I don't know why nikkas remember Rose being amazing but don't detail the MVP conversation in full. Scratch that, I do know why...

'14 KD was more LeBron Fatigue. He just won 4 MVPs in 5 years. No one thought he was a better basketball player than LeBron. He was the new hotness on some '11 Rose shyt...

'18 Harden deserved his too but it was a make up award for giving it to Westbrook the year prior as much as anything else...

'20 LeBron resurrected the Lakers, had the season continued uninterrupted he'd have won it with the way the Lakers were surging and beat Giannis/Milwaukee in a pivotal late season game...

It was AD that she completely left off All NBA Team altogether and her excuse was that she “forgot” to add him.

Jackson’s flub is worse tbh as he's obviously had NBA award voting rights for years, so he should know which one is which to not make that kind of mistake.

You can't say that. You act like nikkas sit down to fill those out and focus like they're taking the SATs. It might've been coming up on the deadline and he was oh shyt I gotta fill these out real quick. The man admitted he made a mistake and apologized, that should be the end of it. It's not like he costed Jokic bread by leaving him off

He could have potentially depending on the bonus stipulations in an NBA player's contract and that goes for other situations as well and not just this one. NBA awards season has millions of dollars attached to it (ask Ja about that), so players don't want to hear anything about voter's making a mistake when bread is on the line.

Type of nikka who will signed Bol Bol over Jokic and give him a max contract

He finished 2nd, being left off one ballot isn't costing him money

Reread what I said and what other posters have said in this thread. This isn't the first time that a voter has "made" a mistake and with how close voting is some years, every vote counts. That's not just for this situation, but other ones as well.

This thread is about this situation. nikkas was jumping to conclusions before he even realized what he did. Giving that he finished 2nd and Mark Jackson gave his explanation and apologized it should be done. It's not like has a vendetta against him and refuses to vote for him

If Maria Taylor can get criticized for her flub even after apologizing, then Jackson can and should as well. This isn’t the first time he’s been slandered or criticized, so he will just fine.

fukk Jokic

Have there ever been someone singled out for not voting for someone in the mvp race before

One dude who voted for Carmelo Anthony over Lebron James and cost Lebron being unanimous that year.

fukk Jokic

 

[feelosofer]

I respect Mark Jackson and I still believe he should be a head coach in this league but Donovan Mitchell at 5 is crazy and I like Shai a lot but he isn't there yet.

Imagine having to put out a statement apologizing for an NBA vote like he did something reprehensible like assaulted a woman

The Jokic mafia move different. You think he'd be putting out statements if he had left off Embiid (the actual MVP)? Hell no.

 

[Remy LeBreh]

He said he confused it with 1st team all nba votes that is why he had 2 guards, forwards and a big. Silly mistake but better than nothing

Definitely shouldn't have a vote then. Those kind of mistakes can fukk with people's pockets (though he clearly just because this is blowing up)

Maria Taylor has done previous in the case of AD, so it has happened before.
