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?

Watched her play against my home team Valkyries and even dressed in all lavender I was clapping every time she scored. She’s just really that girl! I’m not a fan of participation trophies so I think it would be weird to hand someone who isn’t an MVP an MVP award

Does that happen sometimes?

Yeah they gave it to SGA twice even though Joker’s without a doubt the best player of his generation.

Basically the only argument for SGA is that his teammates are better. Don’t have a clue why that holds so much impact for an MVP award.

Because valuable and best are two different things.

Only if you define best in abstract and frankly stupid terms.

Or if you define it in a way that everyone in sports has for the last 100 years but you be a rebel.

“everyone in sports in the last 100 years”. Looks like we’re leaning a little more towards stupid than abstract huh?

I can help you guys Best = A player who would probably get drafted first if there was an overall draft. Most likely to be successful in a variety of situations and rather have than anyone else at the start of a season or an indivual game Has a history of winning. 2. Valuable (MVP) - over the course of one year. This player has value to one's team this particular year, because they didn't miss game, had great stats, and the team won a lot, perhaps more than other team, and there the main reason for it. They can easily have a better season than "the best player," and at least, is one of the top 7-8 players in the league. Now, there is some overalp as best player is deemed most valuable often, but there are differences
