This nerd😂😂😂 these millennials redefining the award
Idk who the other guy is but his argument is crazy. The year Iverson won his mvp he only averaged 2 more ppg and 1 apg than shaq while shaq was more efficient, had 9 more rpg, and lead the league in win shares. But shaq had kobe and AI had no one else offensively so of course he was the more valuable player to his team. Same idea now. Brunson got the knicks to the #2 seed. Take him away they're hoping to move up in the lottery.
by this logic lonzo ball is the most valuable player in the nba as his team plummeted in rank after his injury
Mike you have a point. The effect Jalen Brunson has can be measured. They can look at impact based on how other players produce as a result of playing with Brunson.
Like Luka didnt have injuries to his team. Literally the 3rd most injured team and ahead of NY. 6 of his guys missed 20+ games and some even 30+. Yall literally leave out things on purpose to add to your argument. So just stop
Big body Brunson is the MVP. He’s just not the flashiest name . it doesn’t fit the media’s narrative, but the Knicks being a good competitive well coach team is not in the narrative something that the media doesn’t wanna admit, everyone get uses to this the greatest city in the world has a great Basketball Team – New York Knicks
They need to give Knicks management their flowers. Let’s go Knicks!!!
It’s a farse & a popularity contest where the bobble heads get to gush over their favorite stars. JB carries a team to 2nd place that without him would probably not make the playoffs at all. If it were any other star he’d be considered 1st team all NBA.
The fact that some analysis call tre young a superstar is all I need to know. Just because these are professional doesn't mean they know what there talking about.
Guy on right is clueless.
All NBA 1st team is based on one player per position. It’s positional
Based on that Brunson belongs on all NBA second team. Shai was more valuable to his team and lead his team further while also giving up great stats.
That alone makes Brunson all NBA 2nd team
But doesn’t stop him from being put in the top 5 in MVP votes. Because MVP voting isn’t based on position.
It’s really not that hard to comprehend if you explain it correctly.
It’s simple, without Brunson the Knicks at best are a 9-10 seed in the East. Brunson is the MAIN reason why they are the second best team in the East. He literally carried the team when they were hit with injuries.
He's definitely really valuable to Knicks. But there have been games, where other players like Divo or Hart or McBride step up. OG's defense was another reason why we got to the second seed. 20-4 with OG in the line-up.
“Outstanding” means individual production regardless of winning. “valuable” means team success driven by your production. You can have a 75pt triple double and lose. By losing, your “value” to the team is negated, but you were “outstanding”
Brunson should be in the MVP vote because he has done more with wayyyyyyy less💯
It's all about the eye test!
OKC got Williams #8 I call him chocolate Melo.
Only players and coaches should get a vote smh
Scoring title has it's own reward. There's a trophy for it and everything.
Your seed in the playoffs and home court advantage is your reward for your record.
These things usually get in the way of finding the true MVP. Let's just say the top two candidates have the same record and average the same amount of points. Then how would you choose? The solution is to ask this question.
(Where would that team be without him?). This season, that answer would make Brunson the clear front runner for MVP. It's as simple as that. Not too mention that he makes his players better. That's also MVP traits. Turning guys nobody knows into household names is what Brunson is doing. Taytum has Brown
Joker has a starting 5 of perennial all-star level guys. SGA has Chet, the guy they said is better than Wemby and the future of the league.
Brunson has Josh Hart and Donte Divincenzo and they've elevated their games to award winning levels.
Brunson is The MVP
Brunson at minimum should be in the top 5.
Did Greeny just cooked dude?!
Great use if the term “Nerd”
Brunson had a great year. Best player on the 2nd best team in the East. But Tatum is best player on best team so he should get the votes but he won’t coz he does not deserve to be mvp in eyes of voters which is fine and acceptable but why then would Brunson be more qualified to be mvp?
