1. Steph Curry
2. KaWhi Leonard
3. Giannis
4. AD
5. Dame Lillard

DeRozan not even in top 10 so far.

#Blasphemous

Spurs haven't looked like contenders yet. Those players have had a great start too. Nothing wrong with DeRozan being outside too 5 for now.

If it’s not about winning then demar should pad his stats everygame..but I think if we win our next 3 games which is doable and demar have a stats like 28/7/11 then I expect him to be in the top 10 next week.

I predict him to be top 6 next week. Guaranteed. The media writers just fucked up this week. They'll see the error and fix it next week.

Nah. There's just no reasonable explanation for having Lebron over DeRozan.

fr... not being top 10 with his clutch play, solid stats and solid record is pretty crappy. Just proof nobody is watching this team this year until we make some noise.

Without the two guard version of Carlos Boozer, they'd be 1-6 with a negative 10 point differential.

Kawhi will be top 3 all year due to the fact #nba wants their next future Laker/Clipper/LA guy to be as popular amongst casuals as possible to generate ticket revenue.

Diehards/hardcore bball fans knew he was great all along. NBA got a hold of the story as soon as Uncle made it public they want LA (in the spring). No one was even paying attention outside Spur fan in winter '17. Now they see it as a major story to try to get a real talent to a big market team so they hook onto the hype machine to make it happen.

He received nowhere near this level of attention when he was Spurs property. It was only at the end of that year IIRC that he started to receive deserved national recognition, somewhere around when he blocked Harden and scored to win that game against Houston. :lol Houston

Because he had to leave the game after an injury in the last minutes.

It will depend on how many games he will miss due to injuries, b2bs, and if he beats the other candidates when he faces them on court.

That’s insane that DeRozan isn’t at least top 10 after the first week on the MVP ladder. He is putting up great numbers and has hit clutch shots on a winning team. What more does a player have to do? Smh

BillMc

11-03-2018, 08:02 AM

Last year when the Spurs were hanging at #3 in the West, and LMA was a top ten scorer (before the late season losses dropped us), LMA still wasn't in the top ten for MVP. So, no reason really to expect any different media treatment for the alpha Spur of this particular year. DeMar will only get attention if Spurs have a long winning streak or are top 2 in the league sadly.

11-03-2018, 08:29 AM

Don't worry boys. These media idiots haven't watched one Spurs game yet. DD destroyed LeBrick these 2 games plus has the better record and LeBron still ahead somehow.. its okay. DD will just need to keep the ball rolling and grind it out as the underdog.

Like I said you got a lot to learn

1. media people don't watch Spurs games, they mostly just say the same shit they be sayin every year about the Spurs

2. If you on the Spurs it's way harder for you to get All-Star/MVP consideration, just because of lack of media coverage and having the GOAT coach

bro i'm raptors fan, you don't need to tell me what not getting media attention is. Raptors are far worse in terms of overall media attention. The entire off season media circus was all about " where will Kawhi go next season " and nothing else.

tim Duncan won back to back mvp’s on a boring spurs..

its all about stats ang winning games.. like billmc said, derozan should Maintain his 28/6/7 or do better and spurs get a 10 to 15 game winning streak..

Just realized that Oladipo is ahead of DD on the list.

Team records

Spurs 5-2
Pacers 6-3

DD - 28/7/6 FG 52%
Dipo - 22/6/4 FG 47%

Mind blown. They should just scrap these MVP ladder bullshit altogether. It's embarrassing

Yeah, their stats were GOD TIER. But KLs stats on both ends impressed me a lot more. I saw the games and I hated to see them awarding obvious stat padding (RW) & chucking/flopping for FTs (Harden).

MVP is more on offensive side rather than defensive..if you look at the history there are players that won the MVP despite being good only on the offensive side like curry,Nash,nowitzki, etc...but no player that is only good on defense won the MVP..

Funny, the national media loved themselves some DeRozan last season, when he was on one of their pet teams at the moment. I remember seeing him occasionally ranked as high as 5th in some of these, but somehow he doesn't rank now despite playing the best ball of his career.
