Official Ja Morant for MVP thread

So for you guys who are getting all upset and triggered by the mere THOUGHT of Morant being MVP, here's a question:

What if someone who's in the conversation for MVP plays every game in the season? Then you have no idea how the team would have done without them. Does that disqualify them from MVP consideration? But missing a handful of games does....but only if the team has a winning record while their out, even if it's against garbage teams?

Funny how it's almost exclusively low IQ Bronies who are upset by this thread. :lol

[QUOTE=PeroAntic;14562974]wow so intelligent. So who should win MVP then? No one? Or the best player in the league? Who is he btw?

And no its not 'very clear that his his team's success is not tied to his presence'. Actually anyone who thinks Memphis is just as good or better without Ja should consider suicide, since we are apparently advocating such consideration. Memphis is a playoff team without Morant, with him they are a contender, which could mean that hes the best player on the best team. Is there anyone close to his ability on that team? Whos their second best player? Adams? Bane? Jackson? Does anyone even know?

You'd have to be an absolute complete one hundred percent moron to discard Morant's MVP claim because the Grizzlies have beaten Durant and Kyrie.[/QUOTE]

If you WATCHED the majority of Memphis games and not just the highlights you would see there are SEVERAL players on Memphis who STEP UP in any give game which is the main reason they are winning this season. On a winning team players have to sacrifice for the good of the team and excel in various roles the coaching staff should be credited for getting everyone to buy into Memphis's style of basketball. Tell me exactly ONE player on Memphis is dependent on Ja Morant to ELEVATE their own game?
Ja is a great young talent but players like Bane, JJJ and Adams have ELVEVATED their OWN games and have helped Ja be a more dangerous player and hide is weaknesses not the other way around.

Another one who dodges all the questions raised in the post he quotes. Pathetic:lol

btw saying Bane, Adams etc raised their own games without Ja having effect on them, but they also helped him be more dangerous, is literally the definition of conjecture.

[QUOTE=PeroAntic;14553359]12-2 is a fluke of lucky shooting, weak opponents and unsustainably tenacious defense. Completely irrelevant.[/QUOTE]

Now 15-2.

.

The interesting thing about this thread, is that it makes a stronger case for Taylor Jenkins winning COY than for Ja winning MVP.

If you are saying teams the double team Ja help Bane and Adams I agree with that. My point was Bane was averaging 9 points a game last year he has clearly elevated his play and become a better shooter. As a result his scoring has nearly doubled and he helps the offensive spacing allowing Ja more room to drive. Adams has helped Ja because he is a tremendous screener and helps anchor the defense. Both players take off pressure from Ja on the defensive side of the ball.

Nobody is ducking your questions, they are just silly because Memphis gets production from multiple players which is why they are so good. Did you ever watch the Detroit Pistons with Billups, Ben Wallace etc or Toronto with Kawhi? Memphis is very similar.
Last year Dillion Brooks was there leader of the team, best defensive player and 2nd guy. This year he was injured and others players have filled the void. JJJ is back from injury and his impact is tremendous because of his ability to play the 4 or stretch 5, and guard multiple positions and run on the fast break. Steven Adams sets tough screens on offense, grabs boards and does the dirty work. Slow Mo, Melton and Tyus can all score and run the point. Desmond Bane 3 point shooting is elite.

If you watched the Nets game you could easily see, Kyrie and Durrant had great games, but Memphis had Multiple players who stepped up throughout the game and they eventually wore the nets down. Teams cannot keep up with their intensity for 48 minutes because they have multiple young athletic guys to throw at you.

We will see how their game translates to the playoffs, I think they are going to struggle when the game slows down, and it's about half court execution vs transition basketball.

Morant is ranked 14th in RPM among pgs.

[QUOTE=PeroAntic;14562969]Great job at not addressing a single point in the post you quoted and instead making some random irrelevant list. As said already, dingus gonna dingus.[/QUOTE]
Meltdown. You look so dumb whenever you keep feeding on morant's nuts. Just because his team has become successful this season to the point they even have a winning record without him doesn't mean he's already mvp with the help of other circumstances being overlooked at.

The fools won't even acknowledge how taylor jenkins has turned their team into an impressive contender. Kinda like nick nurse during his first hc job with the raptors, where they went 17-5 without leonard but the casuals here are too dumb and clueless to realize this.

Damn, morant is the most overrated player in the league.

He's trash...

Even if you think he has a good cast and isn't in MVP....saying he is trash just makes you look like low iq bron stan fvckwit

You even said you don't watch games...so stick to pleasuring yourself over bron...cringey front runner

Russell Westbrook that high hahhahah go ahead and throw that list in the garbage can. Throw the entire ESPN network in the garbage can actually.

I didn't realize that being ranked 17th among pgs is considered "high". I think most people would consider that mediocre.

When you take into account his contact it's awful.

memphis is really good around morant and not just jackson and bane. everyone in their rotation who plays around 20mpg could start on a playoff team(i'm only slightly exaggerating).

I'd be down for Jenkins getting coach of the year.















Along with Morant getting MVP. :roll:
