Similarly Luka and the Lakers taking down OKC a couple times would really help Wemby’s case, especially if the Spurs can take the 1 seed.

Jokic loves not showing up for highly anticipated games like these

“Yo shai, i got you” -proceeds to drop a 60 point triple double and a poster on Wemby

To be fair, back in 2024 we knocked them out of first place down to third in the last game of the season..

That said, I hope we demolish them completely going into the playoffs… Especially after the last time we played them without Wemby…

He could also go god mode in the OKC game.

Doncic going nuclear only to gift Wemby the award wouldn’t be less crazy.

Boy do I have news for you about the quality of these Spurs in these afternoon games.

You clearly don’t watch our games. We’re not the same team with this record without him.

He’s stepped back and is playing largely off ball so Castle and Harper start on ball. Fox takes over when he needs to.

“on the other hand, Denver would be a lottery team without Jokic, give him his 5th!”

They’re literally say that right now 😅

Same shit i saw with shai, chet, and jdub lol except sga only won it once and wemby can win another 4 before it happens imo.

Duncan wasn’t really a victim of voter fatigue though

His offensive peak was legitimately earlier in his career before his knee injuries the numbers for MVP just weren’t there for him after 2005 or so

The Spurs changed a lot stylistically over time they weren’t the 2014 “team basketball” guys that everyone remembers before Duncan got older and they couldn’t just spam post ups anymore

I’m so tired of people getting tired of things.

Most fans would rather their team goes as far as possible in the postseason, at the same time their players rightfully recognised for their individual efforts.

if losing in the finals was mvps lebron would have more than mj

Feed us your hate 

Idk whats this supposed to mean cause yes but also not a lot of people his size can defend like him

because every player that is 7’4+ has put up the same stats right

There are bigger centers in the nba

Basketball player’s height helps him be good at basketball 😱

Guess the other MVP candidates need to get taller 🤷‍♂️

Yeah because Bol Bol is also a MVP candidate in the NBA rn

Everybody remembers Shawn Bradley and Manute Bol running the court like guards, taking it coast to coast and moving like they’re a foot shorter, right?

What a clown fucking comment.

The last guy anywhere near his size who could move like him was half a foot shorter and the original generational Spurs big man.

I guess this is the new narrative, Wemby is only good cuz of his height.

Wouldn’t that narrative mean Olivier Rioux (or however the fuck you spell that benchwarmer’s name) is the best player in the history of the sport?

Bro is older rn and during the tourney than Wemby was when he entered the league btw.

Wemby is only like 2-3 inches shorter, at most than that fucking statue.

You need to just shut the fuck up and bite down and take it while Wemby forces himself on you with the most amazing plays anyone has seen since MJ. Just lay back and let it happen. There’s no stopping Wemby.

Noted defensive stalwart Zach Edey

I hope people will sit back and analyze what the spurs have been doing all season long at some point. They don’t have a single player averaging over 30 minutes (or maybe just barely).

The Devil named Curry is hurting us.

Checks notes, 26 pts, 10 reb, 11 ast with 3 tov with ⁹⁄₁₄ fg in the 1st half. Which one is better?

rent free

Yeah he does it against the Wizards who let a career average 16ppg player score 83 on them

Not whilst being the best defender since probably KG?

Checks notes, 26 pts, 10 reb, 11 ast with 3 tov with ⁹⁄₁₄ fg and 2 steals in the 1st half. Which one is better?

When is Luka putting up ²⁷⁄₁₃ + blocks in 17 minutes while anchoring a defense please be serious

Luka does put up similar stats, offensively. The problem in Wemby also happens to be the best defensive player in the world by a country mile

And that’s exactly the argument for wemby. Wemby can actually do what luka or sga does. He’s just playing in a balanced offensive system where he doesn’t always look to score. Basketball is still a team sport Wemby gets it.

It’s actually rare for him to be this active offensively, but he heard the chatter and is now dropping 40 after 40.

Now back to the haters; can SGA and Luka do what wemby does defensively? I don’t think so.

its gonna happen isnt it

like if okc loses one game its gonna happen

If triple doubles are your basis for MVP, Jokic should get it lol.

If you want offense, it’s gotta be Shai with his efficiency.

Victor’s case is elite 2 way play. On his way to a consensus DPOY while having good offensive numbers.

I just don’t see any reasonable arguments for Luka. He’s got a hot streak the past 2 weeks which is why his name is being brought up now but the award is for the whole season.

With 7 turnovers

He doesn’t because Luka has better statlines, 26 pts, 10 reb, 11 ast with 3 tov with ⁹⁄₁₄ fg and 2 steals in the 1st half. Which one is better?

He is not freakishly tall
