KIA Race to the MVP Ladder (Edition # 1)

[andrei]

This article is just an opportunity for Matty to write something about his man Griffin. What kind of MVP discussions happen after we barely played 5 games out of 82 lol
Agree with Tim also - only players on playoff teams can be considered for the MVP award. Whats the point of fancy numbers if you can't deliver a win?

[Mattybriand]

Lol, we've played 4 games. Nice.

lol it's a ladder it's suppose to be periodically updated through out the season..... I'm not trying to hide the fact we are 5 games in look Enes Kanter is on the list!!!

[Dennis]

5 games in and we talk about MVP? I love that you guys are so much into the league..

This. Also agree with Tim.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would like to have a word with you. As would Jerry West.

I don't understand your comment.

Kareem won six MVP awards: 1970-71 (Bucks eventual champions), 1971-72 (Bucks WCF), 1973-74 (Bucks made it to the Finals), 1975-76 (Lakers missed the playoffs with a 40-42 record), 1976-77 (Lakers WCF) and 1979-80 (Lakers champions).

West never won the MVP award.

[Sun Scorched]

Yeah. I expect Davis' minutes to come down once I can actually submit a DC.

MVP talk 1 week in? Useless article to get scouts

[hardenwithnod]

Very early rankings, but hey, nice to see Kanter getting some recognition, even though we are 2-4 lol.

West won the NBA Finals MVP with out winning the series, and you just pointed out for me that KAJ won the regular season MVP with a losing record, so I am pretty sure that you understand my comment.

Yep writing articles is a thankless job! Very few league articles written lately...


30 replies with 15 different teams responding! I'll take it

I didn't even read the article to be honest, nor did I read many comments. On some articles I just comment to try to keep the motivation of the writer up.
That was one of those cases as I think MVP talks after 5 games is securing scouting points and nothing else.
However, like said, I like your motivation. You are always online on the page and the most active one by far atm. I like that a lot.

100% right but now I have secured an easy article to write for the rest of the year whenever I need extra scouting points I can just update/rewrite the MVP ladder

[OneNole]

Any article that entices comments is a good article imo. Regardless of how pointless the article may be.

[hardenwithnod]

Yeah, at least he's writing something, situate always good!

It seems it's you who didn't understand mine, now.

[mgtr81]

By the way, I hope this to be a healthy discussion without fights or taking it personal. Just exposing different points of view.

You agreeing with the asinine comment by Jestor is what I don't understand, when clearly that precedent has not been set in any other professional sports league.

But go ahead and vote based on that precedent, it's just ruining the integrity of the award.

[GreenBear]

Haha everyone has their own criteria. I don't think it's ridiculous at all for someone to refuse to vote for a player on a losing team.

If you want to vote for a player having a great year on a bad team for MVP, go for it. But you just come across like an intolerant asshole when you bash people for not thinking exactly like you do. It's a very subjective award.

[mgtr81]

What GreenBear said. You probably should use better wording because it gives the impression you're saying things you probably don't want to say.
