I'm watching tonight's NBA games and i'm wondering who you guys got as MVP this year. I personally got Russell Westbrook but i'm biased lol.

This is my opinion. If you go by the definition of Most Valuable Player to their individual team, it's Russell Westbrook by a country mile... But he probably will finish 2nd, because the voters look at the standings while voting, which is garbage...

I'll give you a historical example. In 1987, Magic Johnson won MVP. Should he have? It's debatable. If you remember the 80s Laker teams they had 3 HOF players just in their starting 5. L.A. finished 65-17 in 1986-87. Do you know who finished 2nd in 1986-87? It wasn't Bird, he was actually 3rd and I'll get into that in a minute.

Michael Jordan finished second in MVP voting in 1986-87, the Bulls went 40-42. He had Charles Oakley and a bunch of nobody's on that team. (Pippen and Grant were drafted after this season). The year before the Bulls were 30-52 and snuck into the playoffs with Jordan missing 64 games after breaking his foot in the third game of the season.

Michael would win MVP in 1988 I think as a "Man we messed up last year" by the writers.

Most people don't know the MVP isn't who we think it is (Though we have a tiny say in the process), it's up to the sports writers who are biased.

In my opinion at the end of the day it will probably be James Harden who wins it, or maybe LeBron (heaven forbid), my dark horse to finish top three is Isaiah Thomas of Boston.

Harden either solo or co-MVP with Westbrook. LeBron better not win as he will win multiple Emmy awards for all his acting on the court.

I'm starting to think that Isaiah Thomas might deserve it if Boston steals the no.1 seed.

I like Isiah Thomas but Russ is doing something that hasn't happened since the 60s. I do think he should be All-NBA first team though.

I agree with you it sucks though. If that guy would've stayed one more year, he might have had a better chance at winning it.

Me personally I would like to see Leonard to win it. That said, from what I have heard, and read, it looks like the media has already chosen a Harden/Westbrook co-mvp for this season.

Westbrook is a stat chaser his rebounding numbers are skewed because he will not keep defending his man once the shot is made, Kawhi Leonard  is much more deserving than Harden also he's the best 2 way player in the league and his team wins a lot because of him, if the warriors weren't so insanely loaded the Spurs should be shoe ins for an NBA title.

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
