Hopefully he wins one in the next few years.
Heads up kawhi! Concentrate on the playoffs and get dat Championship instead. that twink.
Did Bill Worrell vote for Harden? Maybe Clyde Drexler voted for him?
Spurs are just playing for Second this season....I'm proud of Kawhi and frustrated at the same time, any other year 67 wins gets you the MVP and odds on favorite to win it all!!! lol
Quick note WTH is Harden doing in the MVP discussion! lol
NO flashbacks please... Hope Durant doesn't go off cause Kawhi finished higher like Hakeem did back in the day. Kawhi has to show up again like he did in Game 3.
Bill woreell didnt even have kawhi at all at his ballot and had harden third. Zach lowe was taking a dig at him this morning. Hopefully he loses his voting previliages next year. Gotta get rid of all the senite voters at this point.
Interesting side note: Kawhi won DPOY and finished 2nd in MVP. He was named on 129 of 130 ballots for DPOY and on 122 of 131 ballots for MVP. The guy who left him off of his DPOY ballot (who gave a 3rd place vote to Trevor Ariza) also completely omitted Kawhi from the MVP ballot (but gave James Harden a 3rd place vote).
That guy is Rockets TV dude Bill Worrell.
Shocking. Absolutely shocking.
Edit: beaten to the punch but left here for posterity.
Nice to see him finish 2nd.![]()
that's crazy
Zach lowe was taking a dig at him this morning. It's probably well do ented and talked about within his peers..Bill worrell that is. I'm sure hes not the only one who thinks the guy is an idiot otherwise he wouldnt have made that post.
My question is why the do local play-by-play commentators have a vote to begin with? Just stupid to give a bunch of homer broadcasters a vote.
Nice. Now he has to lead this team to the WCF like the MVP (of the Spurs at least) he is.
Interesting I didn't know local play by play commentators could vote. My home team is the Hornets and one of the commentators is Dell Curry. It makes me laugh thinking that Dell obviously voted for Steph granted Steph winning the award was legit.
great achievement for KL ...not sure LeBron or Durant will agree.
Maybe KD has a little extra motivation tonight
Nice.
Hope he goes off tonight.
Kawhi has achevied more than expected this year tbh. Winning back to back DPOY was something i wasnt very confident with. First team all-nba is a big surprise. I knew he was going to be all nba teamer though but beating a generational talent and established superstar was very unlikely....
You dont go from 16.5ppg to finishing 2nd in mvp and first team all nba. Thats usually unheard off. Hes getting the votes. Wouldnt surprise me if he wins one before he turns 27.
2005 Media...
Hassan whiteside wins dpoy and Durant and Lebro take first team honours.
Congrats to Kawhi.
Now please make good of it and put the Thunder in check tonight.
That's ridiculous that he didn't get one first place vote for what he does at both ends of the court.
THE REAL OP.
I think he will win one in the coming years. He's still young and getting better.. If health blesses him.
We all knew that Curry was going to be the heavy favorite for MVP, but still can't believe what an amazing job the front office did in acquiring and developing Kawhi. To turn George Hill into the 15th pick, and turn that into a legitimate MVP contender is nothing short of amazing and gives this organization a bright future!
Curry was first with 1,310 votes
Kawhi was second with 634 votes
Lebron was third with 631 votes
Westbrook was fourth with 486 votes
Durant was fifth with 147 votes
Bah, didnt notice this was already posted.
In b4 the merge.
