remember guys.. the reason Shaq and Kobe only have 1 MVP

[tpols]

is because they played with each other.


The NBA has NEVER seen a tandem like Kobe/Shaq. The only thing that ever came close was 2011 Wade/Bron. And who won MVP in that year they were on somewhat equal footing? Derrick Rose won MVP. Just like Allen Iverson won MVP in Kobe and Shaq's closest years as equals. Bottomline, the media wants views. Underdogs generate that. Both Rose and Iverson were granted that "david" attention, for their supposed artificial ability to beat the "goliath" super teams in front of them.

Both were handled with ease in 5 games.


soo .. whats the point tpols?


The point is media and journalist voted on accolades dont mean sh!t .. even player and coach votes dont mean sh!t because the coaches and players vote for whoever like yall cast votes in anonymous surveys about how good your professor was in the class you got a C in.


RINGS w/ superstar impact, that's all that matters when it comes to career rankings. All. that. matters.


So **** yall.

Stupid meltdown post from a stupid poster

Shaq was extremely hyped, extremely dominant. Just based on reputation alone he would be winning MVPs, but MVPs usually play more games than Shaq did year after year. Missing 15 to 30 games per year in your prime is just going to hurt your chances. Lucky that he was able to play 79 games the year he won else he would have had zero MVPs.

So why didn't he win a MVP in 2005-16 without Shaq?

Shaq played 74 games in 2001.

He played 67 games 2002-2004.

While shaq was w/ LA he never missed 15-30 games like you're stating. Thats a bold lie. His WORST absences were 15 games.



Games played was NOT the reason why guys like Allen Iverson were winning MVP over him.. it was because the media loves an underdog story, and has a much easier time selling it.

Funny how Shaqs 1MVP is never used against him. If I didn't know better, it seems like there's an unconscious bias against certain players.

He played 79 the year he won it, 74 the following year. But even if he played 82 games every year it doesn't mean that he was automatically going to win it. The point is that he's not going to be winning a lot of MVPs winning 67 games or less. That's just going to hurt him.

What? Shaq lost MVP to Allen Iverson while playing 74/82 games. You said "it's hard to win MVP when you're missing 15-30 games every season" .. Does 8 games missed fall into that range?

obviously not.. obviously there's other things coming into play here .. that you dont want to admit .. for, well .. obvious reasons.

Like I said, just because if one season he plays a significant amount of games doesn't mean he's going to win MVP automatically just because. Just like Lebron hasn't won MVP every single year that he plays a significant amount of game, neither is Shaq. It simply just gives them a chance of winning it. The point is that when you're missing 15 , 20, 30 games for the majority of your prime, it's going to hurt your MVP chances. Just like Lebron would not have as many MVPs if he was missing 15, 20, 25 games year after year.

[TheOne]

The thread YOU created already acknowledged the one MVP he won jackass.

Use that pea brain and explain how Kobe didn't win more than one MVP, post Shaq if Shaq was holding him back?
