Column on Dirk being MVP A worthy read by the Sports Guy
Hardly, pftt.... 🙄
Just sounds like another douche bag with an opinion and a proper forum which serves as his tool to promote his mindless drivel.
Now you're prob asking yourself after having read what I just said..yeah, so what's the difference between him and us?.
Well, for one thing at least we have respect for the game. He kept referring to the NBA as a 'terrible league' and yet not fully explaining his beef with it. I can't take anyone's opinion seriously after saying something like that. I'd like to know what his example of a good league is...baseball? Hockey? pfttt. yeah right whatever. The former is one of the most corrupt leagues in sports with scandal after scandal of betting on games, fixing games, steroid use etc. The latter needs to promote legal fighting in order to attract fans.
Also, whether or not you feel Dirk deserved the MVP for the regular season is one thing but to berate the guy and say he's not even worthy of consideration is ridiculous. The only comment I agree with is when he says that Dirk has very little defense if any, which is true and it's the same reason why I felt Nash didn't deserve the MVP as well and yet he's been the MVP twice and we all know what a monster defensive force Nash can be. That being said I bet this douche bag would vote for Nash in a heartbeat.
In conclusion yeah perhaps Dirk isn't the most skilled, athletic or best all around player in the NBA but that's not what the MVP award is about. It's about being an instrumental tool in helping your team achieve success and I believe with the exception of this first round playoff series Dirk did just that by leading his team. Whether or not you believe he should win is your own opinion but to say he isn't worthy at all is just ridiculous. If Nash won it twice I see no reason why Dirk shouldn't win it this year. Let's not forget that the Suns almost got eliminated last year as well by the Lakers. And we now see more than ever how much a healthy Amare means to that team and to Nash.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I admit the NBA as a league is not without it's faults and there are things that need to be fixed with it same as any league, certain rules, officiating..etc. and I also believe it's time for Stern to step down but those are problems that are present in other leagues as well and again to just write it off as a 'terrible league' is ridiculous and shows complete disrespect to the game IMO.
