All NBA Teams

[fightinfunbags]

Well, NBA media fucked it up again. These accolades have nowhere near the value they used to have. Embiid finishes 2nd in the MVP race two years in a row. Whatever. But he’s not one of the five best in the league this season or last? Utter and complete bull shit.

It is what it is. It’s a joke. You can’t tell me that if Embiid wins MVP NBA media doesn’t find a way to use the rules available to get him on the 1st team. People have an ax to grind over the Process and that’s being taken out on Joel Embiid. All they’ve done is make a mockery of this stuff.

You are to Embiid should have been the MVP is to what BKS is bitching about the officials....LOL.

Poor Jason Tatum. He had a great year but his presence on first team is fraudulent. Embiid had more votes on 1st team ballots than Tatum.

It’s just ass. Nuggets were on national tv like 3-4 times all season. These media types saw him play about 5-6 times tops but fell in love with metrics created by pencil necked geeks like Nate Silver.

Here’s the guy who writes the algorithms NBA media leans exclusively on. Makes a shit ton of sense. We want math geeks handing out sports awards

There’s a reason guys fight to be listed as a Forward and not a Center. (Think Tim Duncan and KG.)

Only 3 Centers make All NBA. Six forwards get the same honor.

Giannis knows what’s up.


I think the biggest issue with this years voting is Jordan Poole not being top three in most improved.

You’re not wrong. At the same time, when it comes down to what choice a club makes as to what position they classify a player that system is fucked and fraudulent.

Embiid should push the FO to list him as a F/C. He plays outside enough to warrant it.

I’m not sure it’d matter unless Giannis gets hurt though.

The national televised games were 14 Denver, 27 Philly this past season. But Id assume everyone paid to cover Bball has Game Pass. Id hope so anyway.

Tatum will be ok, but it's nice of you to show concern

These guys don’t watch games bro. They’re lazy as fuck.

Ftr, I wish Cade had got ROY.

He was hurt to start the year and then started off slow. A lot of voters had prolly already made up their minds by the time he got his scoring up.

His NBA odds this year have been completely wrong. The RAPTOR system is terrible. Of the final 4 playoff teams this year they had the Warriors with an 8% chance to win the title, way below the others including Dallas

Knew I should’ve majored in journalism.

You understand it is by position, right? Since Embroidered plays the same position as the guy who won MVP that puts him second team. Doesn't mean he's not a top five player, it means he's the second best center.

Because a math guy can work an algorithm but he doesn’t have the foggiest notions what truly has value and how much value it has. Do you know that in his system Jokic gets more “data points” with 8 assists than CP3 gets for 15 assists. Why? Because apparently an assist becomes more valuable when it comes from a center vs a point guard. It’s nuts.

1. The NBA is positionless basketball now. This system is outdated
2. The system is flawed. They had a chance for voters to put Embiid at either C or F and 40 some ass clowns decided that getting the top 5 players wasn’t as important as jamming Square pegs in round holes.
3. Embiid was on more 1st team ballots than Tatum. There were more 1st team ballots without Tatum than there were 1st team ballots with Tatum.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I have to say though, all this shit seems so unimportant on a day when some piece of shit decided to kill 20 people including 18 children. This world is so fucked up.

Here's my advice: lead your team to a championship. It'll do more to cement your legacy than a media popularity contest.

On this we agree. At the same time, this shit is involved in how much a player can demand on their max contract. So it still matters on some level.
