If the NBA actually followed the meaning of MVP (most VALUABLE player) then he is easily a top 3 candidate but since they only focus on the teams with the best records in basketball, he won't even be in the discussion.

They're 16-7 with him and 4-11 without him and they also have the best defense in basketball since he came back from Covid.

They do. Why do you think Steve Nash won it twice and guys like Shaq, Hakeem, and Kobe won it once

If the NBA followed the meaning of MVP, Lebron would win every year.

Not at all. I mean, if the guy were in shape and good looking he would not have gotten the abuse he did. Idea MJ ripped him knowing what type of GM he became is comical.

I'm sure Jordan believes he's better at running a team. LOL.

Think the biggest ive hit is 7 or 8 and i bet like 3 bucks lol

LOL. It feels almost impossible to hit on a 5 team parlay, unless you're betting on big favorites, then you feel like you have some chance even though just one upset will ruin it. I guess this guy's 15 team parlay was smart because it didn't have a single underdog except maybe the even money one.

The Last Dance was essentially a Jordan puff piece. The main takeaway is that it is not really a documentary.
I don't recall the details but remember at the time thinking one of biggest fabrications was how they showed he got food poisoning in the visiting hotel. If I remember they had something like 4-5 guys go to the room or something else that made no sense.

I always pretty much thought that but I was listening to Windhorst's podcast and they had Zach Lowe on. And laid out how this isn't really true. There were maybe 2 or 3 seasons, at most where he had a reasonable argument for MVP over the guy who won.

Does anybody take this guy seriously any more?

I mean he was a heck of a player but at this point he's on Wiggys level when it comes to predictions and opinions.

Wait..... is @WiggyRuss really Paul Pierce?

Some of these players just want to be takelords.

True story: first sports bet I ever made was a 5 team parlay and it hit. I thought “damn this is easy, I’m gonna keep doing this”

Long story short anytime I make a bet you should definitely take the other side.
