It really is sad that Manu being such a selfless player has led even Spursfans to underrate him. One would guess that at least them would be able to fight the right cause and defend his greatness.
Manu's greatest accomplishment of his career came playing against that top tier Hall of famer, tbh.

They are not real Spurfans, they are salty fans from SA that would kill to have a big market franchise with all the bells and whistles, and free championships.
While their own team won every ring by playing great and getting no bull calls, they still prefer getting cheap calls and fake media recognition rather than having something genuine.
lol discrediting the MVP award..MVP is a big deal men..and its not a popularity contest like the allstar..you have to have the stats and winning record to win that award..lol..winning the MVP means you are the best player for that particular season..manu never won an NBA MVP or even got selected to all nba first team..
but he’s not the superstar of his team..lol
he and parker are just a sidekick of Duncan
if manu played for other team I doubt he can win an NBA le..
look at parker now in Charlotte
Its picked by media, they are the ones that tell you whats good/bad based on nothing, the same that said Raymond Green/Dwert was an elite defender.
When you say winning record a 6th seed is good enough?And he did it on purpose shutting his own team down to have some stupid stat that was forced as .
Arguments against Westbrook as MVP
- Has annihilated previous records for usage. No one has had as many possessions as he has in NBA history
- Shooting 42.5 percent from the field, 34.0 percent from 3-point range. Not the most efficient shooter.
- Second in total turnovers, and turnovers per 100 possessions
- Leads the league in uncontested rebounds. (Note: Westbrook is second among players under 6-foot-7 in contested rebounds per game via NBA.com)
- Shooting efficiency not comparable to other candidates
- Worst record of other leading candidates
- On-court net rating worst of leading candidates
- Clearly does pursue his triple-double. (Note: Westbrook has 10 assists and 10 rebounds only in the final three minutes of a game where OKC leads by at least 10, per Basketball Reference.).
Winning the MVP only means that the press handpicked you and thats it, specially in this pussy NBA era.
And worst case scenario its a regular season award, who cares?
Parker is almost 37 years old, wtf.
Manu was the real FMVP in 2005.
So who cares about your labels?
lol finals mvp? We’re talking about NBA MVP..
iguodala won finals MVP so that mean’s he’s Better than curry? Lol
Stop making what if’s scenario..lol
manu did not win an Finals MVP let alone NBA MVP..it’s a fact
duncan got selected in all nba first team when he was 37 years old..
Would have Harden won regular season MVP if he stayed in OKC?
When it really matters Iguodala was better than Curry, Iguodala playing like during the closer would result in Cavs winning the championship, can you understand that?
Manu did not have it because 14 years ago it would have been too much to give it to a 6th man who was also an Argie.
How old are you? 4?
westbrooks’s stats in 2017 was a deal breaker..averaging triple double for a season is really hard to achieve..that’s why they give him the MVP award..if westbrook did not average triple double that season ,,harden or kawhi should have won it
manu never average 20pts a game in a single season..lol
Westbrook is averaging a triple double this season and nobody gives a .
but his points is down by 10pts compared in 2017..and he has George now who He share the limelight ..
Manu wasnt a selfish ballhogger.
Lol comparing Manu with WB.
AVG a trip double and finishing 6th is not hard, and its meaningless anyway.
So it wasn't really the triple double that got him the MVP?
it was..and he was carrying the thunder alone..
If it was the triple double then why isn't he being talked for MVP now?
because he has George now..and his points are down compared to 2017..in 2017 he carried the thunder to 6th seed alone with his 31/10/10
So, it wasn't really about the triple double. It was about the 30 ppg triple double and the narrative that he had no help although he had Oladipo (a top 20 player in the NBA) next to him.
If Oladipo stayed in OKC folks will probably still think he's a scrub. That's how much cir stances play a part on a players' legacy.
yup..but triple double help him beat out harden and kawhi despite harden’s and kawhi’s team had the better record
So?
Jordan had Pip
Lebron Wade
Durant WB
Bird McHale
Curry Thompson etc.
LMAO, the MVP award is dumb because the warriors have the two best players yet can't win every year so it goes to guys like harden, west, and giannis. And from 2008 to 2015 lebron was the true MVP every year. It's a really dumb award!
Basically, as a Spurs fan you need to hate the mvp because Duncan didn't get enough. If MVP is all you care about than you're a kobestan.
