If potentially causing your team a championship is hyperbole, then yes.

If you think Golden State is a better team without the guy who averaged 15/10/6 in that post-season, then I am absolutely astounded. How did he potentially cause them a championship? Because he didn't play? But he's a bigger negative than positive? Makes absolutely no sense.

He's dirty but Draymond is definitely the glue to that team imo. He's one of the best do it all players in the league.

I'm not looking for an argument, I absolutely think he's one of the most complete players in the league.
But there are hard fouls (Rambis), and there's dirty and cheap fouls.
I just believe he falls in the latter.
Just not a huge fan.

I don't think anyone was arguing about whether he's dirty. You said his antics hurt his team.

What Green does now would be considered normal in the 80's(where there was arguably less real defense).

No what Green does now would get him targeted by the rest of the league in the 80's. They would bust your nose not go for kicks below the belt.

I am guessing you didn't watch much basketball in the '80s.

James Harden with the massive choke job tonight. Yikes.

It is called stats. Defense better? Not really. Offense? Most likely.

...... that was in regards to you saying what Green does is what was common place in the 80's, it isn't. Just listing stats doesn't tell the whole story

Well, the Rockets season ended with a huge thud - or maybe dud - as the Spurs, minus 2 starters, kicked the excrement out of the Rockets in Houston no less by a score of 114-75.  The Rockets 'go to guy' James Harden with a whopping 10 pts. on 2-11 shooting from the field.  But Harden wasn't alone as the Rockets as a team only shot 28.6% and were out-rebounded by a margin of 60-37.

What in the hell do stats tell you in regards to the conversation? Again you must have not watched much basketball in the '80s for some of the arguments you try and create. Because you have no clue what you are talking about on that decade on some of this stuff. Was that clearer for you?

Voter fatigue. Same thing happened to Jordan.

It isn't an argument. The offense was better. There is a reason it is considered to be such a great time of basketball. Teams put up points without shooting 100 shots a game like the 60's and 70's.

Look at what I responded to. Had nothing to do with this.

Should've given him the MVP when he missed 2011 and they went 2-14. 

[mdn82 25,510]

Russ deserves it this year. He put up the numbers that matters to voters to win.

A dude averaged a triple double this year, and he did it with a team that outside of him was wildly inconsistent and mediocre. 

 

MVP is a regular season award, playoffs aren't included. 

[Dalton26 16,892]

Russ has to win hands down.

I have it:
1. Russ
2. Kawhi
3. Harden/Lebron

Wow not sure how Harden isn't at least 1b
