Yeah, this shit is just whack a troll.

Mindless entertainment.

Anyone have eyes on @fightinfunbags ?

Jokic deserves this.

But, I’m sorry….

Gonna be hard to swallow if they don’t win a chip.

Nikola Jokic now the favorite to win MVP

As a result, Jokic was the runaway leader in the second edition of ESPN’s NBA MVP Straw Poll of the 2022-23 season, registering 77 out of 100 first-place votes and finishing with 913 total po…

He's a great player. I decided last year that they're never giving an Embiid an MVP anyway. It's an exercise in futility. I'll just leave it there. Embiid needs to blow off the All-Star game and take his week off. Then he needs to sit for at least 5 of the remaining 25 games and maybe once they can deliver a healthy Embiid to the playoffs. He's been playing through a foot injury. No reason for him to play in this All-Star game.

Only 3 players have won 3 MVP's in a row...Jokic could be the 4th.

@Wamu trivia time ^^^name those 3

Speedy Claxton, Nick Young and Jared Dudley

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Pretty easy, not for most but seemed easy for you lol.

Honestly, I only know the answer from debating Joker’s worthiness with @fightinfunbags And @Wamu .

Also...the whole "now the MVP leader is hilarious. He's been set on auto pilot to the defacto MVP leader for 3 years. But all of a sudden it's "now he is the leader" GTFO

Agree.

They keep trying to make fetch happen with Luka in the preseason.

That shit dissipates quickly.

We had a smidge of Tatum for a hot second.

But, yeah…..it’s been Joker’s to lose.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm wary of any player benched behind guys like Wade, Stevens, and Diakite.

LOL.

At this point, NBA media has just made a joke out of these awards. Much more of this and we will justly be asking what this shit is worth anymore.

 

[Pastafazul]

Why not for a short stint...always makes it interesting lol

I love keyries game, he can’t be trusted

Damn.

That’ s some condemnation for your ass right there.

Tatum is the only other player with a chance. For my money, Giannis is the real MVP this year but they apparently have fallen out of love with him. Tatum is the only one with a chance if the Mass Holes at the Ringer decide to run a campaign for him.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I love keyries game, he can’t be trusted

The very SECOND that motherfucker gets his long term deal, the flagrant fuckery will begin anew.

He simply CANNOT HELP himself.

[Pastafazul]

You’re right I don’t watch enough of the game today…

What really grinds my gear about the game today is that a big guy with some talent is a stud cause there is hardly any defense played.

True or false?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Add in Rubio and Love is the 10th man. He got more minutes than Stevens and Diakite doesn't play. And yes, Dean Wade is a 39% shooter from 3, a pretty solid defender and more athletic.

Even though Love struggled he shot 35% but capable, if healthy, to shoot higher. He shoot 39% last season when healthy. He still played 20 minutes a night when he was playing, that will probably drop a bit on another team. 14-18 minutes is a good number

 

[wildturkey]

I don't understand it.

Unless you're doing him a solid for all his years of service

They're doing him a solid. He's pretty cooked. Cavs have a good team and he doesn't make them better. He can barely move now. He was never great defensively, but its like he's running thru mud nowadays. It's been like that for a couple years not but he could still shoot. However, now his shooting is falling off. I don't think he has much to offer any team unless they have a gaping hole in the front court. Like if your team has been decimated by injuries or something, he can maybe give you some patchwork 15 minutes a game. Most of those won't be pretty, but ever now and then he might give you something.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Damn.

That’ s some condemnation for your ass right there.

And a pretty inaccurate statement lol

I’m sorry no offense to anyone, but when I saw the trainor signal to keyrie he must eat something , I believe it was durin Ramadan, he left the court, nets had lead, when he returned, lead was lost, eventually team went on to lose.

You’re in a battle, how do you leave it? You tellin me exceptions aren’t made in some cases?

If I’m wrong, God forgive me.
