IMO Coby made a much bigger leap from last season to this season
fuckin bullshit
319 to 305, close one.
If you’re already a top option on a playoff team I really don’t think you should be eligible for this award the next year unless you end up as like, unanimous MVP or something.
Maxey voters are casuals fr
Shame so much of this voting is a popularity contest. The narrative has been maxey for MIP all season, rather than evaluating a meaningful jump from the start to the end of the season
Hopefully Coby revenge season incoming
Okay, so Maxey took over Harden’s role and went from averaging 20.3/2.9/3.5 to 25.9/3.6/6.2. Coby, who wasn’t even a starter the previous season, filled in for Lavine and jumped from 9.7/2.9/2.8 to 19.1/4.5/5.1. This just feels off.
That’s bullshit this is cobys award
So the guy who was already ascending, slightly goes beyond expectations (which were high to begin with) and wins. The guy with literally zero expectations and even was deemed a bust by some on this sub, completely burst through his ceiling and made a name for himself around the league and loses. The NBA was on the right track with this award after Lauri won but it seems we’re going right back to the BS of giving it to players who were *already* good. I prefer the award go to players who truly improved themselves to the point they reversed their trajectory. Coby did that. Maxey did not
If they’re gonna vote it like this then just give it to Brunson then. He fits that BS standard better than Maxey
I’m glad AK doesn’t have an award to tout
The people’s MIP
Ridiculous.
Tyrese went from 17ppg, to 20ppg, to 26ppg. That’s just natural progression and certainly not a MIP.
Coby went from 9ppg off the bench to 19ppg as a starter while being the most dynamic threat on the team.
The NBA has completely lost sight of what a MIP is. Bullshit.
I’m pretty sure the award is not just season over season improvement, which is why I think Coby is not as strong of a candidate as people here think.
I knew it. They wanted to gift another award to Philly.
Sucks major dicks. Maxey improved by what? 5-6 points? EVERY SINGLE SHOOTING is significantly WORSE than last season.
