No. Giannis is by far the best player on the team that has the best record, conference notwithstanding. Harden is leading the league in scoring by a mile. Dame doesn't have a singular argument that can compete with either of those.
Excellent points that I agree with. Who would your vote go towards? Myself, I'd go with Giannis. I may be biased though since I dislike Harden's game because of his flopping.
I'd go with Giannis too, if for no other reason than the fact that he's also an excellent defensive player, as well as an unstoppable offensive force, despite having a suspect (at best) jumpshot.
Really--PG13 ahead of Giannis? Despite his dropoff since his shoulder injury, and the Thunder dropping to 7th in the west race?
Yes because he's in the east. I also really dislike watching Giannis play basketball. So, it's my list and I'll cry if I want too. heh.
All good bro--you're entitled to be wrong if you want.
Very similar to the approach my wife takes with me too. heh.All good bro--you're entitled to be wrong if you want.
A very valid point. We saw the greatest player of his generation, who people were comparing to Jordan, mostly dominate in the Eastern Conference and when he finally came to play in the big boy league he suddenly wasn't nearly as dominant. So yeah, I would definitely take what Giannis is doing with a giant helping of salt.
Against the west, he is averaging:
Does not matter. Playing in the east means you play a lot fewer teams you have to get up for, which means when you play the teams in the west you have to get up for you have more energy to do it. Fact is playing out east is way softer then playing out west where even the non playoff teams have really good players, or stars.
Agreed. Not sure why Harden is even in this discussion. His team might lose 30+ games this year, and for all the credit he gets for pulling that team out of its funk, he never gets the blame for contributing to them being awful early in the year.
Really reaching here to discredit the guy, tbh. Giannis winning MVP is a no brainer.
PG has fallen off a cliff. It should be: 1. Giannis, 2. Harden, 3. Jokic.
Its not that much of a reach, the best “record” + best player on that team. Well Milwuakee comes west they wouldnt be the best record, so that arguement wouldnt work. It should go to Harden and I really dislike Hardens game, but he’s in a tougher conference averaging crazy points, but winning and carrying a team that doesnt have a ton going for it outside of the odd moments cp3 isnt hurt.
Not just wrong. PG over Giannis is ridiculous.All good bro--you're entitled to be wrong if you want.
As I pointed out earlier, Milwaukee has a better record against Western opponents (and a far better point differntial) than anyone in the league. Your argument here hold no water whatsoever-- i'd stick to your claims of bias because of preference to their games.
As I pointed out their record wouldn't be at all the same if they played a western conference schedule and had to play tough teams every night.
Switch them and I bet Milwaukee is better with PG13 and okc is worse as then they'll have two guys who can't shoot that need the ball to be effective.
