Has there ever been a safer MVP going into the season?

[chazzy]

That's how he played like over a stretch last season when he suddenly came right back into MVP talk...

Averaged like 37 on 58% with heavy Rebounding...

4 (-5?) 35+ Point games, 42 vs Mavs, 38/12/9 + GW vs Warriors, 37 with like 5 steals vs Suns, Takeover in Oklahoma (EPIC shit.. least impressive stats, still 34 pts, but deadly 1st Q, night finished after dunk on Ibaka), 61 Points... all in a 6 game span.

What about Durant's Jan?

MarkMadsen's Posts are pretty bad, as always... No, he didn't lose in the 2nd round in 2009... You should check out the heavy lifting Bron' did both Playoff runs, absolutely incredible... The guy did everything for the Team, at a level, few if any can replicate all time.

And again, you talking about MVP's and how they don't matter, it's projected for him to win because we can expect him turning that franchise 20+ wins around...

Again, tell me a year he didn't deserve it... You will only end up looking foolish, as he ran away with it each time, and had the best case in 2011.... You think Rose deserved it? THEN it will be hard to take YOU serious.

What about it? Just as good... He got the MVP and I have no problem with it.

All around players are the most overrated. If they are a position they are the tweeners. If its a dog breed, they are mixed and not pure. And we all knew that the pures are more expensive. Just like the pure scorers(kobe, jordan, miller) or pure pgs(magic, isiah, cp3) are more impactful than the mix or all around players(oscar, robertson, bran, bird, westbrook, rose). Theres a reason why magic and jordan are the GOATS yet idiots still keep overrating the brans.

If Durant puts up 30/8/5 and wins 60 games I think he'll repeat.

what a fegget ass Durant lover this boy is

Durant will get those wins because he has a stacked roster. Durant could get it only if Westbrook gets injured again

oh we're back to that again.

LOL didnt durant destroyed spurs in 2012 meanwhile bran can only score during 1st quarters or when the team is down 20+. If that was close, im sure bran would be nowhere to be found.

29 PPG( would be higher without the Ac accident) on 58% and 60% from three.

That was the original question I posed that went unanswered.

It's a regular season award, and even taking into account the playoffs the years he won it - just for the hell of it - there still isn't a season he didn't deserve it. "All stats" yet this fool is posting lines (without efficiency rates of course) of what Kobe did in the 2001 Playoffs and 2009 Finals in other threads

"Bran never did 32/5/7 in the Finals like Kobe in '09"

LeBron put 39/8/8 on that same fvcking team in the previous round.

I never said Durant was better than Lebron. Stop being an idiot.

[GimmeThat]

without any injury, I sure hope he wins it.

or it would be really embarrassing.


not that I even think winning the MVP is more difficult than winning a championship for him.

too bad he's a FMVP type player, and not just a 2nd option on a championship team at this stage of his career though.

Yea, and just for fun...

I know you're not a fan of stats, but when the same things point to the same conclusion every time, it's really obvious... Besides '08, LeBron's got him every other series.
