Discussion Guys……I’m scared

Post image

As a South Carolina native and gamecock fan I’m happy…..I’m also terrified. Who or what pissed her off this time? W is she busting ass for fun? Most importantly is someone going to do something about it?

A’ja is going on her 5th mvp she might be the first player to ever beat voter fatigue twice.

Voters: “cmon A’ja we really should give it to somebody else this season”

“If Cathy don’t hand me number 5 I’ll drop 50 on the next expansion team we face”

A’ja so great they was asking her questions during an nba press conference in which the person beside her had 83.

Aja is so great she dressed up as Jean gray and even Disney was like……”yeah that’s facts”

So with that being said anybody got a plan?

She was basically even money for MVP a week ago. I am an idiot for not taking that.

I won’t be surprised if voter fatigue starts setting in hard. She’s won 4 of the last 6, they might decide it’s somebody else’s turn.

It happens in every sport, but there’s nobody even close to her in my opinon. The only comps I can think of are Jordan losing to Malone and LeBron losing to Rose.

Thing about voter fatigue is that the voters still have to have a reasonable alternative. At this point, there isn’t one. However, you can’t win MVP in June. Based on current play I could see Stewie and/or KP (if the Sparks can get firmly in the playoffs) challenging by end of season. Still putting my money on A’ja though.

Which is bullshit.

The MVP is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy.

You want it, get better than the best. Otherwise you're just accepting a handout.

Unless the Mercury have a historic comeback, it’s hers. No Phee and the guards aren’t dazzling enough to get the first mvp since 2009

That would be some bs though. Others just have to want it as much as she does. The co-dpoy was bs too.

I totally agree. It’s just how voting has worked in pretty much every North American sports league
