Jimmy Butler is the MIP...but is he also the MVP?

[navy]

Yeah. You win MVP on reputation you have earned the previous 2 seasons, plus how well you were a media darling the year you got it. Like Rose, Like Nash, to a degree Lebron as well.

outside of hardcore bball fans, most casuals would like who the **** is jimmy butler?

[beastee]

Ha. Just seeing if anyone actually read the post. Just playin.

You also win based on narrative, so I put Westbrook in the conversation if OKC picks it up and makes it in the top 5.

You really think that will happen with Durant not going off?

Yall know damn well Jimmy Butler aint winning no MVPs. Great player though, not trying to take anything away from him. But MVP? Really? Just like last year with Paul George.

Media loves the Bulls. See Rose's MVP media blitz.

If Westbrook carries the team and Durant takes a back seat, the narrative will be as tantalizing as last season when he was out and Durant took over. I think OKC is THAT good with one of them not on the floor. There is something about their system that brings out the best in players. Look at Harden. Dude is a third stringer and he's in the running for MVP this season. Westbrook would still be legit leading his own team. OKC is going to surprise a lot of people this season. With the Spurs aging, the Heat dismantling, and Paul George out, the field is wide open for the taking.

Nash won mvp if butler keeps getting better and he is - every game the guy is down right dominating. to the point that the team just looks to give it to butler. IF we win 10 - 20 games in a row and end the season with the best record - i see us getting MVP. NASH WON MVP 2 years in a row. ITS A LONG SEASOn and we are now in sink its gonna take a real good team to knock us off our pace.

Nash won MVP because he was the most impactful player on the team with a cinderella story. Butler has neither going for him. He might get MIP and that bullsh*t buddy award, but no one is going to vote for him come MVP time.

Certainly not this season, but no MVPs?? You can't predict that at this point.

I will and just did. Jimmy Butler will never win an MVP. (regular season)

Bookmark it. Bump it in ten years.

I do not care about you or your opinion to even bump something you said yesterday. Let alone in ten years.

The way JB blew up this season is proof enough that no one has a clue how good he will be. This could just be a mirage, or he could be a superstar coming out before our eyes. I say you can't predict based on how unpredictable his improvement has been.

Best 2 - way guard this season, Lock for MIP. Hope he gets selected as an all star this season, he deserves it.

Rose and Butler will be the best back court come Feb.

He's easily in the convo
