Re: Top 3 Worst MVP Selections
[QUOTE=Brook(lyn)Lopez]The guy who won it when his team had the best record in the NBA, but they lost to an 8 seed in the first round in embarrassing fashion.[/QUOTE]
Quoted for the most truth in the thread, never has any MVP accepted that award at home on their couch instead of the conference finals.
Embarrassing honestly. No real MVP lets his team get bounced in the first round to an 8th seed no less. The biggest skid mark on the award ever. Guy got outplayed by league journeyman Stephen Jackson.

You know how you know you are an all time great player?
When a series of 20/11/2 is considered the worst thing known to man.
But I still don't see the relevance of a regular season award being impacted by postseason play.

Rose isn't my favorite player, so not really. I just know Dirks MVP is the most pathetic showing in history.
The playoffs lend perspective on the real MVP of the league. It's the same argument people are using for Rose MVP being the worst ever, right?
Rose got outplayed by LeBron and D Wade, a tandem of players better than Dirk himself.
Dirk got outplayed by a journeyman, and an 8th seed ... In his prime/peak. Utterly horrendous. Fake MVP wet the bed in the 1st round to an inferior team.
2011 was a weak selection year on an individual level. Why? DH didn't carry his team to as many wins as Rose. Dirk was injured and Caron Butler played really well picking up his slack. And the two best players in the league were busy being cowards by teaming up. Their production negated each other.
So Rose was a good choice. Lead the Bulls to best record in the league with way less talent than LeBron, Wade, and Dirk. Howard ha comparable talent to Rose but didn't win like Derrick with clutch, game saving performances. As a 22 year old, his 2nd best player being trash all year ... Carlos Boozer.
Weak MVP year sure, Rose was hardly undeserving.

Rose was definitely deserving so I'm not going to get into that. Of course so was Dirk...even more so, but that doesn't need debating.
Were the Warriors really an inferior team to the Mavs? It's honestly debatable.
Have you actually looked at the rosters?
Re: Top 3 Worst MVP Selections
Rose didn't let his #1 seed lose to an up start, energetic, athletic Pacer team the way Dirk let the Mavericks get sodomized in the 1st round in possibly the most embarrassing NBA playoff series of all time.
He lost and played poorly against a historically great team. Oh such shame in that, MVPs like Nash, Dirk have gotten embarrassed by worse. No three peat caliber teams knocking them out. Significant difference.

Take a look;

We gonna sit here and act like that is some scrub team?

Seriously ...
Agenda exposed much?
I thought record determined how good a team was? At least that's his argument for why the Bulls are just so talented.
The very next series that team got smacked by the Jazz.

Re: Top 3 Worst MVP Selections
Reg. Season + Playoffs tell you who the real MVP was:
Kobe - 2010
Duncan - 2007
Wade - 2006
Duncan - 2005
MJ - 1997
Hakeem - 1995
MJ - 1993
MJ - 1990
MJ - 1989
2011 is a complete toss up for both reg and post season play to me. People made decent cases at different times. Why is Rose MVP so undervalued?
