Warriors: T-Mac says Steph Curry winning the MVP means the league is watered down

[Caltex2]

McGrady's prime was in the worst Eastern Conference stretch in NBA history, tbh..

Not sure why anybody still listens to genetic lottery winners' "analysis", anyways..Curry being unanimous has nothing to do with the quality of the league, it's about the voters, there have been several other guys in the past that should have been unanimous, too..most of these voters are old media that came up watching the 80s and 90s, you have idiots like Bill Worrell voting Trevor Ariza 3rd in DPOY and Harden top 5 in MVP..

I love Bill, I grew up watching and listening to his broadcasts but that's almost indefensible...as a matter of fact, it is indefensible. And yep, there were instances, particularly with Shaq and Jordan, where it should have been unanimous on who the MVP was. Curry is unanimous but Jordan never was? What a joke, even if Curry is very deserving.

Meh, didn't Nash win twice?

White privilege.

why are you thinking about licking my balls. They belong to the 6.7/10 tinder chick next to me for the night.

Gave up on the celibate life I see

It's not about him winning twice though, it's about it being unanimous for the first time

Finally the voters got it right

Modern media

Which is exactly why he shouldn't be talking about how overrated someone is, even he acknowledges his own career shortcomings.

[Caltex2]

Or better put, he shouldn't be commenting and diminishing someone else's accomplishments.

Chuck agreed with tmac on Dan Patrick's show yesterday ...
Both great players especially Chuck but both making excuses on why they have no rings ...."it was tougher in my day!!!!!"

It still seems funny coming from T-Mac.

That said, at the risk of cueing the Grandpa Simpson headline, the Warriors would be a 62-65-win team in the 90's NBA, bar none. There'd be better coaching and defense to stop them.

I have looked back to the NBA mvp voting starting from the start of the 90's until now. It's pretty amazing with you look at the guys who were in the top 10 and compare them to the top 10 guys today. For example in the '95 MVP voting Penny Hardaway finished in 10th place whereas in 2016 Lowry was in 10th place. There is definitely a sharp contrast in talent. The other thing I have noticed is back then at least 3 of the top 5 vote getters were bigmen except for the 96 and 98 seasons. That's not the case anymore especially this year. Draymond Green was the only big to be in the top 10 for MVP voting and I don't even consider him a true big. It really shows you how perimeter oriented this league has become when you have no bigs in the top 10 for MVP voting. Down below I have put links down that show you the top 10 MVP vote getters for this year and the top 10 for ever year of the 90's.

McGrady is too young to be this bitter about modern NBA but i guess getting 6'ed and ending your career ringless will do that to you.
