This is a double-edged sword. Harden's killing it but coming into the playoffs you want to be able to get the team chemistry up. I know theres injuries but prospects for the playoffs are iffy

[k0kakw0rld]

Giannis is winning his first MVP

Sorry bro foul chasers ain't MVP material.

[bigkingsfan]

WTF thought game was over.

[Dinosaurus]

That GIF isn't of Giannis.

[TheImmortal]

Video game numbers.. :eek:

[Uncle Drew]

In reality he’s not even top 3.

[Gus Hemmingway]

it's pretty much Harden, Giannis and Lebron all on the MVP island by themselves now


great race

[Rico2016]

Giannis is ahead in the leg race for now but since LeBron has a third leg he will pass him by the end of 82 games

[Manny98]

27/13/6 2 steals and a block a game on 58% shooting on a team on pace for 63 wins after expecting to be 4th or 5th in the conference?

I dont see Giannis not winning while the Rockets are a 5th seed.

I suppose harden could do 45 a game for the rest of the season but its a tall order.

Remember when emchoke started off the season saying he wanted to be the first player since Hakeem to win both MVP and DPOY in the same season?

Well the bitch isn't even top 5 for either award this season and he's injured, again :roll: :roll:

While Giannis has legit chance to win both:bowdown:

27/14/4/2 still looking like a newborn giraffe out there learning how to walk not even trying only in his 2nd real season in the NBA.

His efficiency is garbage, imagine being a center and never once shooting above 50% from the field.

And his second real season, dudes been in the league for like 5 years now. He just couldn't play because he's made of glass :yaohappy:

The only person who is shook, is emchoke because he might break his leg again just by walking

Post Giannis' 2nd/3rd year stats and post Embiid's stats from this year.

I'll wait :rockon:

Sorry, what do the NBA standings say? Who's clinched a playoff spot and who hasn't?

[LoneyROY7]

Sorry, what do the NBA standings say? Who's clinched a playoff spot and who hasn't?

Giannis is playing on a very talented team. Did you catch tonight's game? :oldlol: :oldlol:

I know you can feel the MVP slipping away.

[Meticode]

Giannis will and should win it. No one predicted the Bucks would be this good, no one. Not even Bucks fans. He's the central reason for their emergence. He's changed the whole direction of the franchise.

What Harden is doing is great and all, but historically with the exception of Westbrook the last 20 to 30 years you have to have a Top 3 team to win MVP. Not just score 36 a game and make the playoffs. Otherwise Kobe should've won it in 05-06, but he didn't.

Rockets are 1.5 games out of the 3 seed. Harden has MJ's highest scoring season in his sights.

Michael Jordan's highest scoring season, doing it on 3+ less shot attempts.

[Mr.GOAT2408]

Why are you posting a gif of a fraud? Any good perimeter player could post similar numbers if they played on that system :facepalm

The real MVP plays for the Bucks and can dominate on both ends even with a bad knee :roll:

Everyone could do it. Except they don't, because they can't. No other player in the NBA is capable of doing in Houston what Harden is doing.

Giannis wasn't even the 2nd best player on his team in a WIN tonight. :oldlol: :oldlol:

His team's looking quite stacked right now.

So? who gives af bout hardens scoring? no one who's ever had that high scoring season has actually won the MVP. Kobe didn't win it, Jordan didn't win it and Harden isn't winning it

The reason why brogdon and bledose could score that easily was because of Giannis, just the threat of him being on court stops the lakers from doubling anyone not named Giannis

And even with a bum knee, he was by far the best defender on the floor

[Uncle Drew]

1. Giannis
2. Jokic
3. George

Is there a bet I don't know about?

He permaban bet me that the Rockets wouldn't make the playoffs. :oldlol: :oldlol:

It must be rough being so unequivocally wrong. :lol :lol

Meanwhile, Vegas has Harden as the clear favorite.

Stating that Vegas has Harden as the odds-on favorite is denial?

Take another L, champ. :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Uncle Drew]

Vegas has Giannis at 1/1, -125. What the hell are you talking about btw? :oldlol:

[LoneyROY7]

Oh shit, they changed it recently. Now Harden a +100.

Time to make some easy cash. :pimp: :pimp:

Lmfaoooo.

[LoneyROY7]

You wanna make an avy bet?

[Uncle Drew]

You wanna make an avy bet?
I was just about to propose a ban bet tbh, but it

[LoneyROY7]

[QUOTE=Uncle Drew]I was just about to propose a ban bet tbh, but it

[Uncle Drew]

Seeing how certain you are about Harden winning it, and me being certain he absolutely won’t win it, I’d say the avy bet needs to be at least a year.

[LoneyROY7]

[QUOTE=Uncle Drew]Seeing how certain you are about Harden winning it, and me being certain he absolutely won

[Uncle Drew]

Deal.
:cheers:

[LoneyROY7]

I like Baker a lot too...gonna hurt me to have to take it away. :(

[Uncle Drew]

Soon there’ll be two people rocking our hung, three legged QB in an avy.

Vegas has pushed Giannis to clear frontrunner now. Baker, coming to an avy near you.

don't really see how harden doesn't win it considering the rockets are on a 9 game winning streak and currently the 3rd seed ( 3 games out of 1st place )


thats the minimum requirement for mvp most years even without the historical context that went into westbrook winning it



36ppg
8rpg
7apg
2spg

vs

27ppg
12rpg
6apg
1bpg



plus chris paul and others were injured most of the year AND the rockets are in the west


maybe if defense was 50% of the award giannis would take it but thats never been the case
