Stephen Curry - Doesn't deserve the MVP

[sam9ball]

Stephen Curry says 'the series isn't over', but it sure is close

He's given up - doesn't deserve the MVP!
He played really bad last night.

[jjgold]

Great player but I question his desire right now

Looked to lax

I would feature CLAY now as your lead player

[Seaweed]

Lebron is MVP

[trytrytry]

Stephen Curry - Doesn't deserve the MVP

said nobody ever.

[jjgold]

Many think Westbrook should've win before the season was over

He did more for his team

[meader99]

Mvp is a regular season award.

as far as I know,sammy is in charge of sbrstore

many as in less than 2 people on earth.

Lebron is the true MVP every year

Only player in the NBA that could go to any team in the league and make them an instant contender

Steph is battling a bone bruise on his shooting elbow so I'm not sure why everyone is surprised his shot is off Anyone who's had a joint swell up instantly like that elbow did knows he is still feeling it.

[RudyRuetigger]

its called funny bone chief

[SharpAngles]

I'm not talking to you after that Cardinals fiasco yesterday Rudy

Mvp is a regular season award.

Exactly and every year since its awarded in the post season it appears one or two geniuses lump current play into it.

[bradthebloke]

Granted, Curry playing like shit as of lately. Is he hurt? choking? But, you cannot deny his reg season play. Guy was otherworldly.

[Ratzz]

its called funny bone chief

not really.. it is a actually called the 'humerus' bone

the term "funny bone" was coined due to the fact that 'humerus' is a homophone (same sound) for 'humorous'

[jjgold]

Barkely made good point that he cannot guard Westbrook

It takes too much out of him and Westbrook just way to big and strong for him

[tony_come]

He's hurt

73 wins in regular season

[JIBBBY]

Curry hasn't been the same since coming off the injury. If he never got injured I think this would be a different series...

With that being said - GO OKC!!!! Love to see the upset happen.. Westbrook is a beast by the way..

Lol. Tell james to go west.

[jjgold]

It's very tough to say to close call many things James should be MVP

[Time is Money]

Kawhii >

Best two way player in the game, we all saw how old Spurs looked against Thunder. LMA disappears in big spots and the rest of the squad past their prime. Team wouldn't have come close to only 1 home loss without him.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

According to Value Over Replacement Player (VORP), one of the best metrics for actually measuring the true value a player provides to his team, the top ten in 2016 were

1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Lebron
4. Harden
5. Durant
6. Lowry
7. Kahwi
8. Chris Paul
9. Draymond
10. Millsap

With that in mind its not all that surprising to see the leagues only team with 2 top five guys beating the team with two top ten guys.

Harden is way too high on this list

kills credibility entirely. Paul George needs to be on this list.

Harden is on the list because of his 837 free throw attempts. Guy is not dominant from the field but you take into account that he gets to the line more than anyone and hits at 86%, he provides a ton of value to his team.

Russell shouldn't be as high on the list in my opinion. Not that he isn't good, just takes too many 3s and mid range jump shots. Not his game. His fg% is abysmal from outside 8 feet.

If it is any consolation, Paul George is #11 on that list lol.

Lowry? Did you sneak that one in?

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Lowry? Did you sneak that one in?

That does seem like something I would do.

Lowry has been one of the most "valuable" (not best) players this season. I know most here have only seen his playoff struggles but he was unreal during the regular season. I think if they did MVP MLB style- an MVP in each conference, Lowry would have been second behind Lebron.

List goes to show you that most of the league's best players play in the West.

I dont know what the term entails. I mean does it mean the player's value over the backup on his team or the average position player that the player plays at. I dont like stats and terms like that, seems like these nerds who never played just make stuff up.

Replacement player refers to the player that would be brought up to replace the player in question. It is generally someone who is slightly below average. The idea being it is the average backup at that position in the league.

It is sort of arbitrary, I will admit. I think it is a good metric in the absence of anything better.

To me where would the teams be with out these guys? ..

Houston would not have made the playoffs without James Harden, but conceivably both OKC and GSW would have more then likely still made the playoffs without their superstars.. OKC still has KD, and GSW has Thompson and a deep bench to fall back on..

Lebron went down Cavs still get in with Irving and Love going off all year long in that weak Eastern Conference..

Too me Harden should get the MVP..

[smitch124]

LeBron should be MVP every year obviously, the same with Jordan. That just doesn't seem to happen though.

Bron had a better year than Steph and couldnt even muster 1 first place vote?

I know its ridiculous, luckily people know who the real MVP is after the playoffs.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

curry isn't 100% and draymond green is setting the worst +/- differential in the history of the nba.

As a Warrior fan, the regular season win record will always be a bitter pill to swallow.

i was rooting for golden state to repeat but okc is just too big and athletic. if curry was 100% and draymond stopped kicking adams in the nuts, they might've had a good chance to repeat.

but sorry pal, put a fork in em cause they're done...

[Kindred]

curry isn't 100% and draymond green is setting the worst +/- differential in the history of the nba.

So it's the ball kicking green's fault? Cause I always thought MVP didn't need excuses.
