Found Jayden Ivey’s burner account.

idk maybe it will, there could be unrecorded doctrine.

close the sub until judgment arrives.

Thou shall not “proclaim”

We talking terminator 2 Judgement day?

UNRIGHTEOUS

I really hope someone is trying to help him. Involuntary commitment is controversial but what else can be done?

You’re already dead! Everybody, him, you, you’re dead already! This whole place, everything you see is gone!

Maybe the real MVP’s are the friends we made along the way.

(And/or a woman named Wanda who shares a surname with the largest city in the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma.)

And it won’t be long, it won’t be long, before Babylon

The great has fallen, and the soldiers go marchin in.

They proclaim it

Same guy who said Kd joining warriors made them worse LOL

He’s gotta push the anti Wemby propaganda so his favorite player, Luka, has a chance to win an mvp when the SGA voter fatigue kicks in

The worst take I ever had and probably will ever have is Scoot will be better than Wemby 😬

Didn’t he say that just for their rookie year because he expected Wemby would take a while to improve in scoring?

I don’t even completely disagree with Nick here but just the fact that he has terrible opinions pretty much across all the major leagues makes me inclined to disagree with him here

I still believe

There are 262 comments here lol.

For better or worse, folks have deemed it interesting.

Just to clarify, it’s straight up just asking who the voters are going to vote for. 88 of them voted SGA. And I believe it’s been accurate for a decade straight now if I remember correct. Or something like ¹⁰⁄₁₁.

I don’t even get why there’s still a conversation about it, SGA should be damn near unanimous. There’s really no argument to be made against him that isn’t riddled with bias.

Wemby would have an argument if he led the Spurs to a better record than the Thunder, but he hasn’t and it doesn’t seem likely they’ll catch up. Luka’s case was riding on the Thunder vs Lakers matchup, but that went just about as badly as it possibly could have obviously. Jokic is having an all time season, but his record hasn’t been good enough since coming back from injury and his stats have dropped slightly as well.

Thats how it is every year. We think we have a closenl mvp race then the votes come in and 70% go to the one guy everyone knew it would be for a month.

Its all just for clicks and rage baiting. Wemby is close, but its not his year and I don’t think there was much doubt that SGA has been the overwhelming favorite. But not a lot is going on in the NBA until the playoffs and so it has just been a talking point to get fans to engage and argue online.

All so their gambling app sponsors can rake in some last minute losing bets

If this straw poll is accurate again, the talking heads on TV really trying to make this MVP race closer than it really is

and the nba reddit account posting their goofy narrative driven cherry picked clips

they’ve been on overdrive lately posting shai/wemby highlights trying to egg this on.

Could you imagine the podcasts about Jordan before his first title win?

Now we are forced to listen and find out for ourselves every stupid mother fuckers every stupid thought.

I’m imagining a 50 year old grown man typing this furiously and I can’t help but lol

Right. All this none sense being spewed when shai winning it is a lock atp. Bout as worse as the mvp argument against jokic a few years back being about his skin tone

I’m so glad every man didn’t have a microphone in the 80s and 90s so we didn’t have to hear every idiot’s rationale and just how bad it really was.

Yep. Typically there was a 30-minute block on Saturdays on ESPN called The Sports Reporters and that was Mike Lupica’s chance to shine. Or maybe you’d get Peter Vescey at halftime of the NBA on NBC or a little pre-game roundtable discussion like this. And you know what? I usually skipped those segments and moved on with my life.

This is a such a good summary lol ty

Friendly reminder too he was extremely late on the Jokic bus

As a Wright fan only half this is true. He has never had Luka as MVP, he constantly says Joker is the best player in the NBA and Shai is going to win MVP. He also said multiple times he thinks Celtics are going to win it all this year. Never had Lakers as the best team.

I’m no Nick Wright defender but most of this is just a blatant lie. He has the Celtics as his favorite team right now and he constantly says OKC is the best team in the West.

He posts 25 ppg on 62% TS, yeah he isn’t Luka or SGA as a scorer but I dunno why we’re acting like this dude is Paolo Banchero.  

What other player is asked to anchor a top defense while also scoring 25-30 every night? Why not add that context? Just rename the MVP to Offensive Player of the Year if that’s all it mostly is.

That’s just not true though if you actually watched the games. His impact is best in the league, saying he’ll get there because he doesn’t hit an arbitrary number of shots is ridiculous when we’re talking about the best players in the game. Would you have said Duncan wasn’t MVP because he didn’t score enough? How about Magic? Different players impact the game in different ways, normalize this

A broken clock is right twice a day… Wright is the broken clock of sports takes

He had Luka 2nd. He’s had Shai the whole time

He’s always had shai

no

Minutes played has always been a consideration. If you have two people who you consider equal you’ll go to minutes played on the season. The two lowest mpg for mvps is Steph and giannis who both had clearly the best seasons their year.

Also Wemby and Jokic have both played 62 games lol

#Nick🤡Wrong

Defense is half the sport but impact wise its only 10-20% of the sport. That’s why Jokic can drop 40 and 13 on Wemby like its nothing.

He’d also be the only ever mvp to win playing less than 30 mpg. If he was playing 35 maybe even 32 mpg I think he’d win mvp unless his per minute stats lowered because of that

BPM thinks Jokić is the best defender in the NBA by a comfortable margin.

EPM, RAPM, and LEBRON, which are newer and more respected, have Wemby right at the top alongside Shai and Jokić

pretty sure his wife and stepson would disagree that he’s racist. lol.

Yea this whole time it’s just been everyone playing catch up with SGA, but he’s done nothing to drop from the 1 spot and no one’s done enough to catch him.

I don’t think Wemby can suddenly become an equal playmaker and scorer to Luka with higher usage

Lmao, why does suddely everyone think defense is anywhere close to as valuable as offense

Nick’s argument works better in defense of SGA or Jokic than it does for Luka, imo.

There is a pretty significant gao between wemby and luka as scorers/ offensive players , Luka was outscoring kawhi and pg as a sophomore. He’s single handedly won his team play off games and series with his scoring + playmaking, until I see wemby do anything like that, I’ll still back Luka over wemby

Wemby has become untouchable for NBA fans.

Lmao this site and Twitter have all been giving him lashings, be fr. He was only a golden boy when he wasn’t a threat. Now that he has a chance at collecting trophies this early, everyone’s rattled

i’ve seen him get more hate than love from fans since he talked about his mvp case. people talking about him crying and begging for mvp lol

Thunder are still comfortably the favorite

Is this a real question

Turns out passing and scoring are important parts to the game.

Wemby is far and away the best defender of the 4, but probably 4th in everything else. I don’t think his defense completely outweights everything the other guys bring. I think he’ll be 2nd or 3rd with a decent chunk of 1st place votes.

Scoring and passing are pretty impactful to the game lmao.

He has some questionable takes in general but I don’t really think his point is wrong here

Giving MVP to someone who has by far the worst raw stats of the main candidates AND doesn’t have the #1 seed just because of his defense would be a major case of moving the historical goalposts

Kawhi in 2017 actually had this + the team record argument over Russ and Harden and didn’t come close to winning so given that in this case SGA has the best record I don’t see how Wemby wins

Why are those the only two options lol
