Re: If Curry doesn't get a unanimous MVP win this year,
[QUOTE=Smoke117]Once you get into defense that is what truly separates them...00 was Shaqs best defensive year...he was 2nd in DPOY to Zo that season. Curry's impact defensively doesn't even sniff Shaqs in 2000. The overall impact goes to Shaq pretty easily because of this.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but I think in the context of the team and getting an unanimous MVP defense is neglectable, if the team defense overall is good enough. As a player singled out it is of course important.
[QUOTE=warriorfan]'14 Durant doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as '00 Shaq and '16 Curry.
Shaq's defense wasn't great in 2000. Good man post defense but mediocre help defense and poor in the pick and roll. DPOY votes are bullshit as we saw DeAndre Jordan get tons of votes last year when Leonard and Green were way way better candidates.[/QUOTE]
Until March '14 alot of those stans who are now on Curry's dick were on Durant's. The playoffs killed off the hype, but it was there.

[QUOTE=Smoke117]If you truly believe that then you know less about basketball than I already imagined...idiot. Only a moron would call his help/weakside defense mediocre that season...a moron and someone who is a goddamn teenager and didnt' even watch the 2000 lakers ie you.[/QUOTE]
why are you attacking him? Especially when you show in the same post that you haven't seen shit from that season?
His defense was better in the playoffs, but he was very mediocre on D in the regular season, not top 2 DPOY level, more like top 15
