Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

I agree that Curry is better than De Andre Jordan.

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

What did you just say...

I just made a similar comment in the NBA 2K forum cause someone made a thread "Should Curry make a case for being a 99 overall or better?"

I think Curry should be 100 rating and Jordan should be 97. But that 97 would still be a better player in the game.

Tracy McGrady on ESPN's The Jump said Steph winning the MVP unanimously shows "how watered down our league is."

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

When I think of other players who have multiple MVPs...its just really good company to be in:

Russell/Chamberlin/Kareem/Jordan/Bird/Magic/Pettit/Nash/Duncan/Malone/K. Malone/Lebron/Kobe

Man, welcome to da club playa playa!

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

Meh, it's just a bunch of writers' opinions, I've never put much merit into it. Even though he's the first official unanimous MVP, he's far from the first that should've been unanimous. LBJ had that one voter from making him unanimous. MJ could've won MVP pretty much every year from 87 on. Iverson stole a vote from Shaq in 99-00 that prevented him from being unanimous. Etc.

The best player on the best team is the automatic winner so the process is kinda watered down.

I don't necessarily think he doesn't have a point though...

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

I have to say, I absolutely hate the way this guy plays basketball. I hate the shots he takes. But I can't help but watch. It's like a magic trick. You sit there and think,"How the hell did that happen?" He deserves it. He deserves the praise he gets. I just hate that his reckless play works so well for him and that team. It just shouldn't happen.

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

The stuff curry is doing is more than Jordan did. But the talent in Jordan year was deeper. But to be the first unanimous player is showing you that. Jordan is still the better player. But still. You win with all the votes in my book that means you are on a level that Jordan never reached. But again the talent was so much better in Jordan's years.

Completely disagree with all of this.

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

No the talent level was so much more closer to Jordan back then. Then it is to Curry this year. Now I am not saying he is better than Jordan. Read in between the lines in what I am saying. Jordan is still the greatest ever! In my opinion.

LeBron was one vote away from being unanimous.. They gave it to Melo. All this proves is that the voters didn't have a ignorant outlier.

His vote was LeBron.. With a solid reason as well.

Re: NBA MVP: Stephen Curry

I'm shocked. There's always that one guy and I thought for sure Steph would fall victim to that, but he definitely deserves this. This season has been insane. Respect.

'Twas the perfect storm for a unanimous vote, all thanks to what Curry and the Warriors brought to the table. I find it pretty crazy that a reigning MVP also finished fourth in Most Improved Player voting.

-Jumped from 23 to 30 points per game
-The only player in history to average 30 while playing under 35 minutes a night
-Destroyed his own 3-point record by eclipsing 402 treys (like a baseball player hitting 103 home runs)
-Led his team to a 24-0 start and record breaking finish (73-9).
-Pulled off incredible on-court feats with a regularity never, ever before seen

I don't think Curry earning all the votes has anything to do with the league being watered down. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook were both absolutely incredible this year and they would have been more than worthy MVP's under normal circumstances. It's just, Stephen Curry was that incredible.

Well, imagine what the NBA will be like in 10-20 years, when these kids who idolize Curry hit the league. Half court jumpers just because, contested 3 pointers all day, and from guys of every shape and size. As if the Iverson/Kobe influence hasn't been bad enough lol.
