The MVP is seen as the face of the NBA, by others as the best stats, by others the best player on the best team, etc. As far as I’m concerned, it’s better to be the MVP of the finals... To a large portion of folks, this MVP should be wrapped up by Harden. The team whom many predicted would be maybe a 50 win team and probably no home field advantage even in the first round. And how they had gotten worse by trading away their depth to the Clippers. How Paul and Harden would struggle sharing the ball... ESPN and other national sports media have man-love for Curry, LeBron, and Durant. They pander us with Anthony Davis because he really isn’t a threat to the championship throne right now. Harden has a legitimate chance to get his Rockets a third title in its history, and the ratings police is scared.
I just want to know....if the MVP goes to the best player when he feels like trying (Lebron) why did Curry get unanimous votes during the 73 win season? Was Lebron not the best player then? Does Cowherd have a vote? He seems pretty adamant about voting for Lebron.
OH, topics and talking points are pre-planned. You can see Nick looking down at his notes as he is stating his case.
Green was defensive player of the year last year (while averaging over 7 assists). Klay is a career 42% 3pt shooter (44% this year) on about 19 ppg (can also switch to defend PGs). They arent superstars but if Durant can't win with these "scrubs" then he is overrated. That's plenty of help.
the narrative has to suit the warriors.. there is a real chance that warriors could get knocked out if the draw OKC or the Jazz.. they have to say how can Durant carry a bunch of scrubs..
