i dont remember how the mvps played before 2008. but since 2011, rose has had the best mvp season out of lebron and durants seasons.

point guard discrimination is real. only to simps.

Nope. Curry is a deserving candidate, there's nothing wrong with him winning.

Which of those 40 players is he a better player than?

[oarabbus]

OP is mad :rockon:

[Collie]

(just the last 15-16 years) Equal to of slightly better than Dirk, better than AI, better than both Nash years, better than 99 Malone.

[nathanjizzle]

:roll:

durants clutch game record that season is

22-19
53.7%

thats the lowest percentage of all the mvps the last 20 mvps. impressive:roll:

d rose was 30-10. led his team to first place in the nba. durants team was a 2nd seed in the wc. btw, rose had something like a 27-9 record against western teams that year.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Playoffs have nothing to do with the regular season MVP. :confusedshrug:

looks like you ran out of fingers to count with

That's irrelevant. MVP isn't necessarily the best player, it's the most valuable one.

[dubeta]

That's irrelevant. MVP isn't necessarily the best player, it's the most valuable one.

The question posed is which players are they better than? Not if they had the worst MVP season. I'm simply saying they are the worst individual players to win MVP in the last 40 years.

[knicksman]

No player is worse than bran. Teamed up with not just 1 but 2 superstars but still won it. And worse is, hes 2/5 in the finals. :lol Magic only had 2 despite having 5 rings already. Jordan has 5 for 6 rings. Bran, the modern wilt, already has 4 for just 2 rings. Talk about overrated Lebron 23 aka dubeta.

well, the last 12 mvps, outside of rose, have already played a full career, so they ahve solidified themselves. young players like rose and curry have played what? 5 years? thats not an objective comparison comparing a young superstar to a tenured superstar thats played 10 -15 years.

[Pointguard]

Whenever a PG wins the MVP Lebron falls on his face hard in the playoffs. So its a fear thing right. Hell, lately, when he doesn't win he falls on his face.

[Im so nba'd out]

Ill take curry over nash and bill walton

[Collie]

Curry's MVP year is extremely similar to Dirk's (with Curry playing 4 less mpg). Heck, they will probably even win the same number of games.

And both will lose in the 1st round to the 8th seed?

[imdaman99]

So OP is admitting that Kevin Durant was a great MVP.
Glad you finally admit it captain dumbass :applause:

[RightToCensor]

People are forgetting Derrick Rose was the most entertaining MVP next to Durant the league has had since he first won.

Nobody likes 48 minutes of stiff arming to the basket for easy layups.

No, I still don't count that as a legit MVP. Big asterisk for Durant*

Wait, arent you a Harden fan?

Harden doesn't stiff arm, this is a stiff arm:
