Dirk winning in 2007 was not a close year and the only American who got first place votes was Kobe with 2 of 129.

But the separation of observed generational change from all our assumptions of teleology and progress (which may be a deeply rooted human instinct--We grow as people, why would we not grow a species?) was a mental stumbling block in science for hundreds of years and the guy who's famous for overcoming it was named Charles Darwin! It was like, his main gift to the field! You'd think that'd be more broadly understood!

So why exactly did Derrick Rose win the MVP over LeBron anyway? Did all the voters pretend they were voting for a baseball award that day?

Also Rose was kinda really really loving good. He was fairly easily one of the top 3 players in the league that year. Either Dwight, Bron, or Rose could have won it. Rose was just the one who said at the beginning of the year "Why can't I be MVP" when asked a question about it. So the narrative was set from press conference day, and when he far far surpassed expectations and played like one of the best players that year. He was all but assured it.

Durant/LeBron/Kawhi is a way stronger team Yeah it should be Kawhi, I was just thinking of how good prime Melo would be in this format. Actually the power of isolation in this format means that 90s/00s teams might actually be on the level of modern ones

He was good but man it's a horrible chocie. 5th in WS (LeBron James #1), 3rd in BPM, (LeBron James #1), 9th in PER (LeBron James #1), 4th in overall pts (KD #1, LeBron James #2), 8th in assists (Nash #1) He had an okay case for being a top 5 player that year, maybe not top 3 But y'all are also forgetting that the Bulls won 62 games that year, most of any team in the NBA

Spring Break My Heart posted:Wade as well. Wade and Rose were pretty close that year IMO. Rose both in that next tier of guys with Dirk, Pierce, and Love. Anyone remember why Durant had a (relative) down year? Played 78 games but his numbers were across the board down from every other season in the past 8 years, much worse than the year before or the year after.

EvanTH posted:Kibner you're ripping my heart into pieces is Davis a C or PF already you can't leave me in limbo forever He has been shifting to playing more and more C since he entered the league and slowly bulked up. The last two (or maybe 3?) season, he spent the majority of his time at center. This coming season will be a reverse of trends because Boogie, but he'll still play C for the bulk of his minutes when Cuz is not on the floor with him. So, the answer changes. Ideally, he would be a full time center.

I can't imagine anybody taking a single one pointer in those games. NBA guys shoot nearly 50 percent from the international line, and now those shots are worth twice as much as close shots? Plus it's losers ball anyway, so if you just get a dunk every single possession you can still get outscored anyway.

one guy for the ringer was talking about how it might not be so good. I thought it was clickbait poo poo but the point they made was that FIBA may limit it to players who already play in their 3X3 world championship. I watched some of the highlights from that and it's pretty cool, albeit not as cool as having good nba players do it.

And honestly they should just go fully NBA street and have judges score moves and dunks and award teams with shots that subtract points from the opposing team.
