Now I love a good CC bash, but Morey isn't the owner

What different criteria is he talking about? Isn't elevating a bottom 3 roster without him to the 6 seed in the west exactly what most "valuable" means?

Would be fricking dope if Morey put together a group and bought the Rockets though

It's not that controversial of a take...

quote:

Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has taken issue with the voting for this year's NBA MVP award, given to Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook over Rockets guard James Harden, citing inconsistencies in the criteria that sportswriters use to decide the vote.

"We thought James was the MVP, but there were a bunch of very good, deserving candidates," he said in an interview with Ben Golliver of SI.com. "I didn't like how a different MVP criteria was used this year, compared to the last 55 years, to fit more of a marketing slogan. People thought a different criteria for selecting the MVP this year was the way to go."

Morey added: "I don't know if this is a good process. The ones that are decided by players or executives or media, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I honestly don't think there's a good process. You could argue for eliminating the awards altogether. I don't really see a good way to do it that doesn't have major issues. I like clean answers. If there's not going to be a set criteria and there's going to be issues with how it's structured, for me it might be better to not have it."

Daryl is right. If it weren't for the unexpected Change in the makeup of the voters James woulda won based on the criteria of the last 30+ years.

It was voted on by the media... the same people those on here complain about on ESPN saying dumb shite.

Michelle Beadle and Sage Steele had MVP votes... what the frick are they doing voting on MVP? They aren't even analysts of any type. They are TV hosts. They took journalism. What are they doing voting for MVP?

Casual fan drove the narrative. Also there was a big change this year in who the voters were. Lots of NBA lifer kinda guys lost their votes to twitter guys who wanted to appease their more casual fan followers. IMO.

Slipping Jimmy didn't win the MVP because he doesn't play an aesthetically pleasing style of basketball.

The casual fan didn't know that James was doing things that had never been done Bc they were too busy being fed the triple double marketing campaign by ESPN.

That hasn't nothing to do with his style of play, which I believe ultimately lead to Russ winning over him.
