in these, the waning days of stern: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

if theyre gonna carry on they shd at least rename it "the best player award" so sportswriters will stop thinking theyre clever

its late, im avoiding grading, im in awe of lebron, feel like i read a "kd is the true mvp bc shooting" piece recently

tbh i also feel like lebron already has a lot of mvps. kd isnt rose ..

someone said lebron pisses me off, and he pisses me too.

but its a completely diff than the way like, kobe bryant used to make me hate him

just cuz lebron has lots of mvps doesn't mean he isn't the mvp

like jordan should probably have ~ 11 mvps but he had a lot so they gave them to other people b/c variety is the spice of journalism

also, lebron isn't anything like kobe

yeah i know. but why nash has 2 and KG just one? bad management all the way

OTM, i dont give a fuck if kd saves a baby from a burning ford expedition in the middle of tornado season, as long as lebron is a shutdown defender and impossible to guard he's mvp

steve nash should have 0 mvps, fuck white joiurnalisst forever

i mean, kobe was a great defender. the way he coasted on d during his first title run and after the shaq trade.... just horrible. lebron is kinda doin that type of thing some nights, and i dont blame him (mostly on TOs tho)

shaq should probably have won both of those nash years to be real iirc

LeBron James ✔ @KingJames
"@thorpjoshua: @KingJames How do I get my baby to fall asleep?"(Put my performance in the 2011 Finals on! Night night immediately)

its probably lebron sense of humour what keeps him in my heart < 3

duncan should have 2 or more, but kidd deserved one. love the season they lost to spurs and duncan completely dominated them. iirc a quadruple double or close in game 2

omg kidd deserved none at all plz

duncan has 2, kidd is a mark-ass turkey who deserves nothing but misery, may his life be forever a repeat of duncan sonning him and his horrible ass nets team

lol : D

mvps i have witnessed in my life: jordan, shaq, duncan, kobe, bron, p much it

AI that one season

ai <<<< kidd plz

hakeem the years jordan was goofing off in the minor leagues i guess

ai <<<< kidd plz

heresy

right hakeem

ai <<<< kidd plz

GET RIGHT THE FUCK OUT MY LIFE

there is a statue in heaven of AI carved by a team of baller angles titled SAINT OF INTERMINABLE HUSTLE and it is AI dunking on five 7 foot demons

magic and bird legit mvps too

and nothing happened before 1980 or so, so that's it

i was too young for that shit /millenial

btw can someone invent internet that can only get on my gradebook cos im wasting hella time right now

Rudy Gay 8 for 12. He's only had a couple poor shooting nights since being traded.

mark-ass turkey who deserves nothing but misery, may his life be forever a repeat of duncan sonning him and his horrible ass nets team

XD

Kidd could have easily deserved MVP one of those seasons he took the Nets to the finals

Lebron annoys me too (less so the last year or so) but not him not getting MVP because people are sick of giving him MVP is... lame. It's him or Durant, maybe George has a shot too

why is everyone down on Lebro?

kidd wouldve been maybe the worst mvp selction ever

he was awesome to watch in those two years and totally carried that team

i was strictly a casual fan back then but it was still impressive

the east was historically weak then, nets wouldnt have made it out of the second round in the west

he was a pretty amazing player and borderline magical in some aspects but he had some very large weaknesses too

ok i still love lebron he is my hero etc but some of the things he does just annoy me like things a spouse does would annoy you, you still love them anyway, taking quarters off, fg% single-mindedness, never getting 2 for 1s, complaining

i'll give Bron credit for toning down the complaining/flopping that he used to do

yeah he seems better about certain things but I only watch about 30% of their games so Im sure there are things to be bugged about. Curry does similar things to me.

i dont mind bron or anyone else coasting during the regular season, its the smart thing to do, its the sytem thats fd

I can't emphasize how great Adams reactions are to these thrown punches/elbows. I actually literally love him for this.

Hah Steven Adams gets under everyone's skin and he's so stoic about it.

idgi why is everyone so mad at steven adams

"I'm getting more confident, but the ball doesn't help me," Antetokounmpo said. "If the ball goes in, I will get more confident.

"But the ball doesn't go in."

need to get the ball on yr side, bring the ball on a team building trip to the movies

maybe there is something to it after all
