Takes a special kind of choking to waste a 14 point lead with three minutes left. Just....wow.

I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a pretty enjoyable week despite my team having been eliminated already

If you can't celebrate your own team's success, at least celebrate a hated team's failure.

As a Cubs fan, there were many years where hate was all I had.

 

[Fygee]

As as Suns fan, I know that hate all too well.

 

[fickmichcommander]

No, see you don’t understand. Basketball didn’t even truly EXIST before Jokic. He is the alpha and the omega and should win all NBA awards in perpetuity.

You can pretend all you want but you know beyond any doubt that he should be getting his 5th MVP in a row right now.

You know Embiid didn't deserve it and you know SGA doesn't deserve it. Hate me all you want, you know it's the truth.

ngl, lebron and the nuggets both being eliminated made my spring

So does everyone hate the Nuggies because of Fami or are there other reasons that I'm not seeing?

Half the people here are also bitch ass Laker fans that are butthurt about the prior two playoffs where the Nugs beat the dog shit out of them.

The NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is not defined by a strict, objective set of criteria, but rather a combination of statistical performance, impact on team success, and overall narrative. While there isn't one official formula, certain factors are generally considered.

Here's a breakdown of the factors that influence MVP voting:

1. Team Success:

• Winning Percentage:
  The MVP is often associated with a player on a team with a strong winning record, indicating that the player is a key contributor to the team's success.
  
  
• Playoff/Championship Aspirations:
  The player's impact on a team's ability to compete for a playoff spot or championship is also a significant factor.
  

2. Individual Performance:

• Statistical Dominance:
  While not the sole determining factor, strong statistical performance, including points per game, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks, is often considered.
  
  
• Advanced Metrics:
  Advanced stats like Player Efficiency Rating (PER), Win Shares (WS), and Value Over Replacement (VORP) are also used to assess a player's overall impact.
  
  
• Overall Impact:
  MVPs are often recognized for their ability to excel on both ends of the court and for their ability to elevate their teammates.
  

3. Other Factors:

• Narrative and Media Attention:
  The narrative surrounding a player's season and their media presence can influence how they are perceived by voters.
  
  
• Leadership and Team Impact:
  MVPs are often praised for their leadership qualities and their positive influence on their teammates and the overall team culture.
  
  
• Availability and Consistency:
  Players who consistently perform at a high level throughout the season are generally favored.
  

4. Voting Process:

• Media Panel:
  The NBA MVP is voted on by a panel of media members, including writers and broadcasters.
  
  
• Scoring System:
  Each voter ranks their top five choices, with first-place votes receiving 10 points, second-place votes receiving 7 points, and so on.
  
  
• No Mandatory Criteria:
  There is no official list of criteria, and the voting process can be subjective.
  

In summary: The NBA MVP award is a culmination of strong statistical performance, team success, impact on the game, and the narrative surrounding a player's season. While there are no specific requirements, the award is often given to the player who best exemplifies what it means to be "most valuable" to their team and the league.

in summary: eat shit. jokic should be a 5-time MVP like the nuggets, avs, and blue bombers ended up being dynasties.

Get out of here with your joe8 AI posts.

Jokic is, by a wide margin, the best player in the NBA and has been for five years in a row. The gap between him and the second best player is as large as it has been since Jordan and David Robinson were 1/2 over three decades ago.

for me, there is no reason other than fami to hate all Denver teams and a CFL team in Winnipeg. it's not so much that it's fami, it's how much he goons over them.

Thread is delivering.

[fickmichcommander]

Again, you know what happened and you know what should have happened. You can pretend otherwise to spite me, but deep down you know Embiid and SGA aren't even Giannis-tier players, let alone Jokic-tier.

i'm only interested in fami tears

meh, this was so predictable it's not even worth being mad over. I'll still insist Jokic got robbed but it's not like the last time when a total piece of shit openly campaigned for the award for 3 straight years and got rewarded for it.

I know that good players can have great seasons and I know that the salt is 100% real

There's a difference between a great season and being the best player in the world. Which, again, you know very well.

SGA is an incredible player and he had an incredible season.

And, still, Jokic was orders of magnitude better and you know it.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

Never liked the Thunder because they killed the Sonics.
Can't hate on Shai though. He already led the youngest team to win the Western Conference last season.
He's young but smart and he deserves it more.

At that point, the stats showed the Knicks with a 99.8% probability of winning. Parlay on that bet would've netted someone a small fortune.

 

[Fygee]

Almost as bad as when they choked 25+ years ago against Reggie Miller's Pacers by letting him score 8 points in the blink of an eye right at the end of the game.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

During the 90s I only hated MJ more than Reggie.
He earned this win and it was his only win in the ECF. He lost 2 before against the Knicks.

Jalen or Tyrese will win this series. Bet on Jalen.

 

[Taiso]

Imagine how Leafs fans feel these days.

LOL Canada.

Not a serious country.

 

[racecar]

Knicks should have saved their challenge.

Didn’t matter it’s was just a bad coaching, so many chance to sealed but they let it got away … as the tnt crew said you have got to give your main guys a rest. Thibs been running the starter non stop they can’t keep up with the pacers down the road .

Ps you can see the panic and fears in kats eyes the guy can’t handle the pressure. I think they are better with Randle and dante( better chemistry and iQ with the nova guys ). Last few plays Robinson was trash low IQ didn’t do what he was supposed to on that toppin play where bridge had to hard foul but he still throw it down. Will see if they regroup and bounce back .
