Europe: Things got heated between JJ Re and Kendrick Perkins on racial bias in MVP votes

[Tyronn Lue]

I don't really care who sits whom and when. Players and teams I want to watch aren't doing it.

JJ Reddikk's MVP vote

[scanry]

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.

IMO Dirk should've been the MVP that year. He outlasted the best team in 7 games and easily sent Nash in 6.

Not in the regular season.

Not in the regular season.

Yeah he saved his regular season hardware for the year he got bounced in round 1 by the 8 seed.

You'd know about that with Memphis.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Perkins debates similar to how he played basketball....not well.

The Big 3 were all playing with substantial injuries that series, and Manu was playing literally with a broken arm.

Comparable to the 2012 Bulls who lost to the eight seeded Sixers after Derrick Rose tore his ACL near the end of the first game (win).

The 2007 Mavs are still the only one-seed team who lost a best-of-seven playoff series to an eight-seed team while completely healthy. They lost because they couldn't figure out how to beat the team that had beaten them the past 6 games in the regular season because they were the only team that took Avery Johnson out of his comfort zone with high octane pace and defensive length and athleticism and physicality that other teams (including the Suns) didn't quite have. It's a stain Cuban and Cuban alone must own and live with.
