*Cade and Luka not included as they are confirmed eligible with 64 games. Yes, my cutoffs are completely arbitrary.
Bam and LeBron deserve so much love here. LeBron playing at that level at 40 is genuinely insane to watch live. And Bam was anchoring that Heat defense every single night without getting nearly enough credit. Real ones know
At 41! He played even better in he second half of the season
Embiid was a beast there for several games. He didn’t have quite the first step but that motion was all there.
Even Giannis numbers were good and better than those of some people that were included.
But only 36 games :‘(
Yes he said his cutoffs are completely arbitrary so it could have been 35
I’m from the future
MVP will be Bronny DPOY will be Podz All NBA 1st Team will be Bronny, Podz, Kuzma, Poole, Thanasis COY will be CP3
PODZ PDOZ DPOZ DPOY
Lol donl all the awards now too..
[insert wiping tears with money gif]
Joel Embiid
Cades agent really needed to let people know he was also applying for the exception. All the voters had already moved on and I think it’s going to cost him 1st team because a bunch of people already decided to put Brown or Kawhi there. Meanwhile those same voters knew Luka had a chance and so left the slot open.
Voters only got their ballots after it was announced cade is eligible.
Yeah but presumably they have thought about it before now. I think a lot of voters already decided to vote for Brown for 1st team and now they aren’t going to change their mind, where as if they knew Cade had a chance they would have voted for Cade.
Why would they not change their mind when they only decided to vote for brown because they thought cade would be ineligible.
