Don't think we've seen a team play so much better without their only star on the court compared to this one. They have a 70+ win record without Ja, heading towards 20% of the season sample size territory soon enough.

It's truly incredible how much Morant elevates his team, even when he's not on the court!
:lebronamazed:
[QUOTE=PeroAntic;14563302]Here are some facts:
- The first seeded team is loaded with stars (Booker, CP, Ayton). Memphis has only one star - Morant. Twist it however you want about coaches, tactics, players improving... nobody can deny the fact that Morant is the only star on that team in a league loaded with colluded star teams.
- Jokic and Embiid for all their impact still have led their teams to worse seeds. They may be better players than Morant, they may have more impact, but if their teams are mid tier teams, it doesn't mean shit. You put prime MJ on a kindergarten team in the league, if he wins one game against all odds showing how impactful he is to his team, it still doesn't make him MVP.
- finally, you sir, are a dingus. :lol[/QUOTE]
Poooooor casual. 💩
What's so hard to acknowledge about the fact that memphis has an excellent record (15-2 so far and still counting) without their best player playing in this season? They also lost the last time morant played, which was that game against the hawks without trae young earlier.
Oh, and just because he's the only 'star' in his team doesn't instantly mean that he already deserves it. Like i said, that one also depends on the player's outputs per game. Jokic and embiid are able to put up double/triple doubles on a regular basis in several games and their respective teams have paltry records in games they didn't play. Sad for you and your fellow casuals tho because the same thing can't be said for jajaja morant.
Lastly, for yall gay fans of using that homosexual word 'dingus', you can just lick my balls everytime you do for all i care.

The fact that people are aware of this and still insisting he’s MVP is proof ISH is full of braindead people.
Morant is the LVP
Holding the Grizzlies back.
Another huge blowout without him
74 win pace

There is a flaw in each MVP candidate's claim. Nobody is clear cut deserving of it, so stfu with the absolutism.
For the record Rose missed only 1 game the year he won MVP. If he had missed 18 games i seriously doubt he would have been the MVP regardless of the Bulls record without him.
Over the last 6 games Morant has missed Memphis has won them all by a combined 126 points. :lol

The guy whose missed 18 games while his team has won almost every one of them isn't an actual candidate and will get zero top 3 votes.

Name a flaw in Jokic’s MVP candidacy without making yourself look like a moron. I’ll wait.
And btw I’m not sure what flaws Jokic or Embiid or Giannis’ MVP candidacy requires since Jokic and Embiid’s team requires them to play to be even good and Giannis’ team, while good, requires him to play to be great. Morant has been relatively irrelevant to the Grizzlies success due to his horrid defense. Great scorer though.

Jokic's team is sixth seed.
And individual defense by a pointguard is a luxury and barely factors.

I clearly said WITHOUT making yourself look like a moron.
His best teammate is Aaron Gordon and they get killed whenever he’s not on the floor. It’s incredible he has them where he has them with his second and third option both injured basically all year.
Memphis is the most stacked team in the league. If you take names out of the picture and simply look at production, no one comes close to the Grizzlies. You take out Ja and they are still elite.

Right, so being sixth seed doesn't have any implications on MVP claim because circumstances, but Ja's claim should definitely be ruled out because of... circumstances. At least keep a logically coherent argument ffs.

You’re truly one of the stupidest posters on here. The Grizzlies are about to be 17-2 without Morant. The Nuggets would be the worst team in the league without Jokic.
They just blew out the bucks with Giannis and Middleton playing. :roll:

Notice it's only the stupidest posters on ISH claiming Ja is MVP worthy.
Tyus Jones is the most underrated player in the league and Morant is by far the most overrated.
Morant should be coming off the bench
Looks like the lesser morant plays, the more games his team wins. :confusedshrug:
Plus like what has been mentioned here earlier, the grizzlies still lost the last time he played lmfao. Anyway it seems taylor jenkins has a big case in winning coty soon.

If max they can get with the MVP is sixth seed doesn't matter if they are the worst team in the world without him. Sixth seeds don't get MVP, get it through your dumb head.

Westbrook won as the 6th seed lol.
The voters aren't looking at seedings. Denver is only 1.5 games out of 4th. Player impact and team record matters. Denver is 13 games over .500 missing their 2nd and 3rd best players. Their record helps joker's case.

I am fairly certain Westbrook was fourth seed then, but I may be wrong. Either way he won it because of unprecedented triple-double average and a few clutch shots. Also, Jokic has won it already last year. If he can get to 3-4 seed he should win but not as 6 seed with a worse win percentage than last year.

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.

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.
