Celtics Fans chanting M-V-P for Pierce tonight

[21_Blessings]

You can thank Steve Nash and his two undeserved trophies for that. Before that the MVP chant was pretty much nonexistent. Once Nash won it, every other city with a player more deserving started chanting for their player (Kobe, Wade, Shaq, etc). It went bananas from there.

Then there is Dirk and his much deserved trophy.

Okay, 14-year-old. The M-V-P chant has been used since WAY before Nash. Just because you were crapping in a diaper in 6th grade when it happened doesn't mean it didn't happen.

got ass, reading comprehension must not be for you. I said it didn't go bananas until after Nash won. Before that, it happened on occasion, but rarely. Nowadays, ing OJ Mayo hits a random bank shot in the 2nd quarter and they're chanting "MVP!" for him.

Don't be a bitter little got cuz I pointed out the extremely obvious - it wasn't until someone completely undeserving won the MVP that other fanbases felt the need to constantly yell "MVP" for their guy.

Um, Spurs fans wouldn't chant that for Duncan, a 2 time MVP and 3 time Finals MVP who surpassed 20,000 points awhile back. ............

Probably because half of them didn't speak english and the other half were too fat to stand up to chant.

Steve Nash had nothing to do with it. It was the re ed sunfans.

Boston fans were just being idiots. Again, it was early in the season, and his team was struggling to beat a Bucks team that has no closers or go to guy down the stretch, when in theory Boston has 2.

And as I tweeted to the Sports Guy, at the end of regulation, when I heard the words "Rondo for the win!", if I were a Bucks fan, I would have been 99.99999999% sure OT was to come.

Come on...

Nobody is stupid enough to think Pierce is a MVP but I think Boston fans wanted to say to him you are OUR MVP ! He won a ring with Boston and more important he was there during the difficult years playing hard. Fans wanted to praise the guy who scored 20,000 pts for the franchise nothing wrong about that.

BTW I'd love to hear spurs fans chant MVP for Tim Duncan once in a while.
