I agree with TOP, you can't give the MVP to a guy on a losing team.

Sad. Michael Jordan couldn't have made that a winning team in his best season.

Lol ok.

If he couldn't he wouldn't have been MVP either.

By MVP material did you mean MVP candidate? I think he's the caliber player that he could win an MVP in the right situation, but not with the teams hes been on.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Are you saying you can't be the best player in the NBA and be on a losing team?

MVP doesn't mean best player though.

Yeah, MVP caliber. I don't think he should have won MVP yet. In that 20/15 season I had him as leading the MVP race at one point, but I believe I had D12 or Lebron as winning in the end.

What's the difference?

MVP isn't the best player or MJ would have 10, Shaq would have 3-4, Wilt would have 7, LBJ would have 6, and Nash would have 0.

WTF does MVP mean if it's not the best player in the league in a given year?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

What's the difference?

Really? This needs explained to you??

It means that you're the most valuable player to your team that year. Doesn't mean you're the best player in the league.

Most Valuable to their team doesn't equal the best player. Do you think Nash was the best player for 2 years?

Was Rose better than Lebron?

Every team has a most valuable player :crazy:

Lol it's not in the advanced metrics handbook.

Nash shouldn't have won MVP. Same with Rose.

Kevin Love is definitely valuable to his team, but if the team isnt achieving the he's not the most valuable player in the league.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Agree with the Rose part.

 

[BadJerry20]

Was Rose better than Lebron?

Nope. Like I said in a previous post. If it was best player LBJ would have 6, at least. MJ would have 10, at least.

 

[BadJerry20]

Nash shouldn't have won MVP. Same with Rose.

I agree.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Take Lebron off the Heat, take Durant off the Thunder, Paul George off the Pacers, Kevin Love off the T-Wolves, who is missed more from a championship hopes perspective?

Yeah

 

[BadJerry20]

Exactly.

 

[n_huffhines]

Kevin Love is definitely valuable to his team, but if the team isnt achieving the he's not the most valuable player in the league.

Timberwolves would have been the worst team of all time without him.

Just so we're on the same page....

If the Heat would win 40 without Lebron and the win 60 with him...

and the T-Wolves win 0 games without Love and 40 with him...

You are saying Lebron is more valuable to his team than Love is to his?

 

[BadJerry20]

Ftr I think Love is awesome.
