Yo. When Are These Muthafukkas Gonna Announce The MVP?

[Ducktales]

Whether it’s shay or Jokic, this supposed to be a regular season award, so unless they start saying they take the playoffs into consideration ( which historically they didn’t do) it kinda takes the integrity away from the award. Jokic not even in it no more. shyt shoulda already happened regardless of who they giving it to

 

[Po pimp]

It's always been the 2nd round

Most of the time, yes

Going into this game/series, I'd imagine one thing that Minnesota's coaching staff harped on the most was defending SGA well without fouling him.

Minnesota wasn't up for the task, it's like they forgot how he gets down.

I don't know if this is even possible. Refs be ready to blow the whistle if anyone even stares at SGA.

Didn't they use to announce it before playoffs began or am I tripping

I mean, they should
like 2K
Its a regular season award

This has to be Shai's right?

I mean, I know Bill Simmons and some people on his podcast voted for Joker, but Shai has to be the MVP for what he did in the RS combined with his team winning almost 70 games

Its his.

Voting been done.

The delay is what makes no sense.

It's a RS trophy, RS has been done for more than a month. Whole thing should be done before the Playoffs even begin, and you hand it to the MVP for his first home game.

Didn't it take TWO DAYS to vote for the POPE

 

[T-K-G]

like 2K

And it would save everyone from the embarrassment of handing an award to a guy who's getting cooked in the playoffs.

The current way is so awkward I refuse to believe Silver doesn't realize this

Thread is the epitome of

“This is ridiculous”

Didn’t they wait until after the playoffs when they had that NBA Awards show the year Russ won?

They threw that awards show in the bushes though. It’s usually been around the start of the conference semi finals the last few years

Ah it was a physical award show those years, makes sense

 

[Unbothered]

Likely tonight or by Game 2 of the ECF, TNT, Inside The NBA has always been the one to announce the MVP award, just like they do all the other major awards, etc. It'll be announced on TNT, and the trophy presentation will happen during Game 2 or, worst case scenario, Game 3 of the WCF.

I didn't expect ESPN to do it; they never announced it since their NBA pregame/halftime show isn't as big as TNT's star power, y'know clout. The NBA isn't giving that duty to SAS, Malika Andrews, Big Perk, and Bob Myers announcing the MVP award compared to the heavyweights of Shaq, Barkley, Kenny, and Ernie doing the honors.

C'mon now .
