Until the 1979–80 season, the MVP was selected by a vote of NBA players. Since the 1980–81 season, the award is decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada.

Clearly Perk played the race card and accused the voters of being racist.
He's likely been programmed by MSNBC, and sadly, he's probably a disgusting racist himself.
06 is the only questionable MVP choice and that had nothing to do with race and everything to do with Nash and D'Antoni's go against the grain offense that was entertaining the out of everyone. I think Lebron was probably more deserving that year, but it's understandable that voters were mesmerized by the sun's offense.
I think NBA is the greatest collection of delusional athletes on Planet Earth today
Since its inception
No one claimed Perkins was smart or even somewhat of a critical thinker. The dude is dumb as rocks.
Perkins is an archaic (argument consisting of counting stats without context in '23), biased clown, who thinks he can verbally bully people with his gruff demeanor/exterior.
He, along with many inner-city types, can't accept someone who's not exactly like them being at or near the top of the league.
He's been playing this game for a while and I'm glad Re called him out on it instead of beating around the bush.
They can't stand to see a chubby european dominate a majority black league, comprised of the best black athletes on earth. It s with their pride and self-esteem. Makes them sick to the core.
Imagine being 1st in the west, averaging a triple-double on ridiculous efficiency, then have some former scrub pull the race card on you on national tv
the fact that an out of shape guy, that eats bunch of burgers, drinks beer and plays video games most of the time, while other top players workout all the time, has been one of the top 5 players in the league, almost from the get go, must be really hard for some of these guys... Also, why the would anyone even listen to a re like Perkins?
also,
also,
Jokic isn’t the chubby dude he used to ne, he has lost a lot of weight
Or were hou referring to Luka Donutcic?
You could see his chimp brain malfunction in real time when the race card didn’t work and he was forced to bring an actual evidenced-based take. Those eyes were darting in all directions
also,
I could’ve sworn that Dirk was a top 10 scorer in 07. Also yeah Perk can be really dumb on his takes. The amount of hate that foreign players get among US players is insane. Harden was calling out Giannis too a couple of years ago. The jealousy these guys have is insane.
Yep, give it to Jokic
Perk redeemed himself when he called out Mr. Glass for ducking this matchup, so props for that. Giving it to Embiid would be celebrating the reason why the game has gone to . It’s an insanely talented generation, far greater than any before it…but they simply are too coddled and that is why the product blows.
I’m not pining for the days of Pistons thugball and 90s slogs, but I do miss players actually playing every night and heated rivalries. No fan is going to invest much time in a sport where there is 80% roster turnover every 2 years and stars play maybe 60-65% of the games. Fix that, and the NBA will become exciting again
yeah talent wise the league today is way better but rivalries are lacking for sure
To he fair, what’s the point of 82 game seasons if we know who the favourites are after a few weeks?
Some players in the 90s said it was too long
What should the league do?
Shorten the season - not gonna hapoen
Or force players to play a minimum number of games or they won’t be in all nba teams

I’m all for shortening the season by 17-20 games with more or less the same season timeline to ensure adequate rest days between games. Good luck getting Commissioner Goldblatt and the owners to agree to that, though.
Quickest fix is eliminating guaranteed contracts. No play, no pay
It should be the way tbh, unless they are really injured and it's validated by a NBA doc or something; there should be a NBA doc in every city
I would say minimum games for all nba and regular season awards would be a great step. It’s already something that’s kind of done behind the scenes, but it would be nice to make it official.
OH ITS HAPPENING
NBA and NBPA have agreed to a minimum number of games played – 65 games – for players to be eligible to win major individual league awards such as MVP in the new CBA, sources tell

Previous season joel embeed played 68 games. It was the first time ever, he played more than 65 games. In comparison, the least amount of games jokic has ever played in a single regular season is 72.
Jokic really loves playing basketball tbh
It's just a smokescreen to avoid the Girlfriend
kiwi has played 65 games in 4 of 11 seasons
