Re: Official Ja Morant for MVP thread
[QUOTE=tontoz;14564287]As usual you are wrong. OKC was the 6 seed in 2017 with a record worse than Denver's right now.
Last season Murray averaged 21/5/4 with a 59% TS.
Last season MPJ averaged 19/7 with a 63% TS.
That is 40 ppg of efficient scoring they haven't had all season but they are still 13 games over .500 thanks to an epic season by Jokic.[/QUOTE]
The other points about Westbrooks MVP season stand. As for Denver, hey maybe the rest of the players improved. Isnt that the argument in Morant's case?
after all Jokic scores and assists the same as last season and the Nuggets only dropped from 117 to 114 ortg

You really are slow. Jaren Jackson Jr didn't play last season. He is currently leading the league in blocks and is on the.short list of DPOY candidates.
[QUOTE]
Jaren Jackson Jr., Grizzlies
Jackson has always been an elite rim protector, but he's blocking more shots than ever and, more importantly, fouling less than ever. He's likely going to lead the league in blocks, and he's been even stingier than both Williams and Gobert when it comes to locking down the paint, holding opponents to 49.3 percent shooting at the rim.
Jackson is unique in that he splits his minutes at power forward and center. He's agile enough to defend the 3-point line when sharing the court with Steven Adams while still being able to do stuff like this when he's the lone big:
Jackson prides himself on his versatility. He proved that recently in welcoming switches onto Kevin Durant down the stretch of the Grizzlies' win over the Nets.
It feels like the game has slowed down for Jackson in a big way this season, and the Grizzlies wouldn't have one of the best defenses in the league without him.
No surprise here, but Ja Morant has been leading the DPOY push for Jackson.

It’s not about people disagreeing or not liking your take. No one gives a shit :lol
The Grizzlies being this good without him doesn’t disqualify him from MVP talks, nor does it mean that he’s not an amazing and valuable player. It just somewhat invalidates the whole “But look at the record he’s lead the griz to!” arguments.

Of course him missing 20 games and his team winning nearly all of them disqualifies him. By definition that means he's not all that valuable.

You should definitely get the MTBM award, that is, Most Triggered Bronie by Morant :lol

This is true. I loved his game coming out of college and was repping him to all who would listen. Glad to see he's making me look smart.

I like low hanging fruit.
Shitting on you idiots who think he's an actual MVP candidate with his team being significantly better without him, and him missing more than 1/4th of the season is just too easy. I can't say no.
Me jumping on your retarded skull is incredibly fun. Triggered implies there's some sort of anger but I'm in a state of play. I love these morant threads... it's never been easier :lol
Re: Official Ja Morant for MVP thread
Even if we set aside their record without him, when was the last time someone won MVP missing 20 games?

It's been over 40 years when the league was dying :lol
That's the point. Even if they were like 10-10 he still wouldn't have a case over Jokic, embiid, or Giannis. I mean there's several other way more deserving candidates as well... but he's not even remotely close to the big 3.
The 17-2 thing just makes it beyond laughable. :oldlol:
Re: Official Ja Morant for MVP thread
Over the last 20 years the most games missed by a MVP was 10 by Harden.

There are two camps of Ja for MVP... absolute morons, of which there are multiple in this thread, and people that are baiting/trolling, of which there are multiple in this thread.
But either way, they're all morons.
