caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Curry going all Buddy Hield on the Blazers right now. LeBron and J4L don't stand a chance. Nor does OKC/SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Fathom, I guess your wife must be really tolerant about watching so much sports, haha... My wife always throws a fit when I wake her up because the weekend game times or M/W/TH day games always start between 2-5 a.m. here in China. If I ever get married again, I HAVE to find a cool/girl next door sports addict type who looks and acts like Jennifer Lawrence, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron and J4L don't stand a chance. Nor does OKC/SA. Huh? No, Curry, the greatest shooter the sport of basketball has ever known, went all Curry on the Blazers. Buddy Hield? haha. Stop. And yes, I've got the Warriors beating Cleveland. But it will be an epically epic series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Odds are last season is the closest they get. Then again, Love was injured and Irving as hurting. Just think that the level of competition is so much fiercer in the West that it will be really difficult for the Cavaliers to turn it up because all those teams are playing at such a high level that the top four and the Clippers with Paul and Griffin would all sweep the Raptors or Heat.

caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Obviously, Curry's the best player in the world right now. But Hield as a collegiate player just had some unreal shooting performances this past season. Not making any sort of argument that Hield will even be an above-average starter in the NBA.

You dont ever compare Curry down to a college player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Steph Curry is so ridiculous I'm not even impressed by anything he does anymore. This is not shade. I wake up in the morning and hear Curry hit like 20 three-pointers and they were all from the halfcourt line like "well I mean yeah. Of course he did."

lostfan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Jordan, at least, never had a year like this relative to everyone else in the league, he was pretty much the same MJ every year doing the same numbers getting the same results. Curry played like the NBA was too easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Jordan and Lebron were never unanimous is crazy. I know it is sacrilegious to think it now, but Jordan got a lot of the same selfish flack that LeBron has in his career. He wasn't team oriented enough in some people's opinion early on. Then he got to a stage where he was so good, it was just assumed he was the best, and that the MVP should go to the next best guy.

shysocks Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 MJ in 1996 led a record-setting team, put up a PER that was then in the top-15 all-time, had a higher win share than Steph (not that these were things back then), and made first defensive team. I'm not trying to cheapen what Curry has done, but I don't see why his season has justified a unanimous vote where that MJ season didn't. Why defend MJ's voters? They were pretty bad.

My stepdaughter watches a lot of Full House reruns for some reason, she was watching one where Stepanie was trying to get some boy to like her and pretended to like sports, and said "if Michael Jordan ever got some help, Chicago would be unstoppable." That episode was from about 1989 I think, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really defending MJ's voters, just seems like the common reaction everywhere has been to imply Curry doesn't deserve to get unanimous MVP because Jordan never did, and that strikes me as dumb 1980s BBWAA HOF voting logic.

The MLB HoF is a similar case, and I agree with your sentiment. If a guy is the clear best choice, then I don't care if nobody was unanimous before, vote for him. But Y2J specifically expressed his disbelief over MJ or LeBron never earning the honor themselves, and I agree with that sentiment as well.

bmags Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 MJ had to deal with MJ fatigue from voters. Curry's season was amazing and that OT last night seals it. That it's the first unanimous MVP vote ever means very little to me. There are always a lot of stupid writers that don't take their job seriously.

I don't like the logic that because something stupid was done 100 years ago, no one else deserves better now. I just want to make the point that MJ really should have been a unanimous MVP, but because of stupid externalizes never was. He isn't the only one either. My personal favorite is Wilt Chamberlin averaging 50 points and 25 rebounds a game for an entire season, and not winning MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
