Apr 5, 2017 Did you see the stat line LBJ would have if he had Russ' usage rate? I think @Mike Tyson or @Nav Bhatia got it. As a PG in the era of the 3 ball this guy contests less 3s than everybody in the league so he can chase boards lol.
Apr 5, 2017 Lol typical, reading the title and not the stuff I posted in OP. Not gonna reply to knee jerk posts, ones that clearly read what I wrote will get replies
Apr 5, 2017 Kawhi for MVP yup im going with that btw how is russ's season any differrent than the season kobe average 35 a night he didnt win mvp neither will russ let it go btw triple doubles are the most overrated stat in nba history
Apr 5, 2017 ITT people don't read what's in OP and assume I'm saying Russ is MJ overall. Classic internet
Apr 5, 2017 I read the whole thread before posting. I'm not gonna argue with his numbers, because his numbers are no doubt MVP worthy... I just think the logic of comparing his clutchness and competitiveness to MJ in defense of him getting the MVP doesn't make much sense. Only players that have less 3s defended are Whiteside and Gobert, two guys who don't leave the paint.
Apr 5, 2017 It actually does though. As fans of basketball we don't discount MJ's clutch factor. So why should we discount Russ's clutch factor in the MVP factor? That's my main point. I might not have gotten that across as well. But I'm essentially saying, we have to consider his clutch factor as the standout between him and Harden considering their numbers are both so crazy.
Apr 5, 2017 only thing i gotta say is that i wouldnt pay usage stats that much mind, as no one has ever weighed that in to MVP discussions before. nothing would make me happier than to see russ get it because i hate KD
Apr 5, 2017 I hate the sentiment that without russ OKC would be picking top 3. Without him they finish 11 in the west. For the last 2 years people have been saying that if the pelicans were better AD would have been MVP so why can't the same be said for russ? Harden for MVP
Apr 5, 2017 btw i bannered this, we gotta start bannering more sports threads @YDB @Poohdini koolo really wanted to merge this sxn with entertainment lmao, we gotta grow the sxn now
Apr 5, 2017 reminder last time anyone below a 2 seed won mvp was jordan in 88 its just not gonna happen
Apr 5, 2017 Give me like an hour and I'll hit you back. I'm at work atm but I got the articles saved on my comp.
