I don’t even know what the media’s criteria is and neither do you. Nobody does. It’s floating criteria from year to year.

Here’s the MVP Ladder for whatever this is worth. This doesn’t have him top 5.


There isn't a set criteria, that's why. Each individual votes for the players they think are the top 5 for MVP.

Like when Philly made the SB....he was giving all reasons why they would beat KC....LOL
I stand behind all of that. They should have won the game. If they don’t flag Bradberry on 3rd and 8 does anyone think Hurts isn’t taking them down the field with 1:45 left and one time out and getting 3 to force OT or 7 to win the game?

Exactly. You are trying to push back on what I’ve said by agreeing with everything I’ve said.

He’s never getting one. They hate the dude. MVP? Bwahahaha. Fuck that. Let me see them put the man on 1st team NBA before we can even get to that next level.


I’ll repost what I posted last night when I couldn’t sleep because I was drunk and high.

Who do you have as best player to never win an MVP? Did a little work but not much. Came up with Jerry West, Alonzo Mourning, Pat Ewing, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady all in the running.

West was before my time, but I don't recall when any of those others was ever the league MVP in my mind.

Sabonis, affective player, dirty as hell.

He ain’t athletic enough to get considerations for MVP

Big body, big jerk.

I wasn’t necessarily saying these guys were cheated. I’m just looking for best player to never win an MVP. I think when all is said and done Embiid will have a pretty good argument for that distinction.

Of course they do even when they’re bull shit. Doesn’t change the fact that the Eagles should have won the game. Why even grab at fluke trash like slow ass JuJu Smith? Mahomes over threw his 4.9 40 ass anyway.

Espn just had to correct perk statement yesterday that 80% of the voters are white. Molly said the voters are announced every year and it is way more diverse than he said

I don't care about 6-10 but that seems fine. I would flip Embiid and Tatum. Embiid could be 2 or 3 and Giannis could #1 as well.

Overthrow doesn't matter with defensive holding. Valid call. He didn't need to hold, but he did, tugging on the jersey.

Mitchell not in the top 10 is a bit weird. They are putting a guy in there that probably won't put his team in the playoffs.

I agree if that was the standard set forth all game. The problem is that wasn’t a penalty for 58 minutes of the game. A more egregious one occurred involving the same two players earlier in the game at midfield and it wasn’t a call. The issue was the inconsistency.

Quick recap: has little to do with me saying the Eagles should have won that game.
