especially that first year when trout was a monster on defense (but still crushed on offense) and cabrera got the triple crown. the parallels are pretty stark!

yeah this is good.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 13 April 2017 18:44 (seven years ago) link
trout and kawhi even have somewhat similar boring personalities
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 April 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link
yeah that was my initial thought lol

And look, there are hundreds of reasons to complain about the internet these days. Hundreds. Maybe thousands. Just know that the internet never, in a million bazillion katrillion years, would have allowed Michael Jordan to lose the ’93 and ’97 MVPs.
Oh, Bill, why you gotta write that way? You know what way I mean.

an interesting thing about simmons and lowe's all-NBA teams is that they include draymond green but not klay thompson. just pointing that out
― k3vin k., Friday, 14 April 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
Klay is super underrated at this point
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Friday, 14 April 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
but that is funny
xps! so, what I hear you saying is that klay is grossly underrated, right?
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 14 April 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
it certainly seems that most NBA minds consider dray the superior player. but that's none of my business!

simmons calling IT's season the greatest advanced stats season by a player 6ft or under would be more of a joke/concerning if it wasn't such an obvious homer move
― k3vin k., Friday, 14 April 2017 17:40 (seven years ago) link
The internet would have seen the advanced stats in 97 where Karl Malone was better

idk i think star power might dull the impulse toward pedantry
*pauses, thinks* wait who am i kidding

i think i voted harden but kawhi would be cool as well
i didnt vote due to multiple felonies, but i would have voted kawhi/harden/russ in that order

It really is hard for me to get around how bad the talent surrounding Kawhi is, and how it in no way really helps him do what he does
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 14 April 2017 23:27 (seven years ago) link
They do have a great coach tho
*pulls out defender cape* lma is not baaaaaaad.

Drake to help unveil MVP on NBA Awards Show

if westbrook manages to raise his assists by 0.3 per game and his rebounds by 0.8 per game, he has to be MVP again

lol what a fraud
