It's silly how many people are saying "If the Spurs take the 1 seed, Wemby takes the MVP from SGA." Putting that much weight on seeding is ridiculous. Whether the Spurs finish .5 games in front of or behind OKC shouldn't determine if you're gonna vote for the guy.
English
@LittleTr7nt @Peyton_Janssen @balldontTy Leading a lottery team last season becoming a 2nd seed team overall this season at 22 years old is MVP worthy for sure.
English
@Peyton_Janssen @balldontTy Health issues are mvp worthy now?
English
Wemby ain’t done shit yet. No adversity, no playoffs, no hurdles, no haters. Just drafted to one of most prestigious franchises, handed some elite teammates, told to spend his rookie yr jacking threes. Now his first year in competitive run at 22 yrs old they want to hand him MVP, even tho his offensive numbers are significantly lacking compared to the field, came off the bench for a quarter of the season, doesn’t eclipse 30 mpg, on a team w a .667% winning % w/o him. No way do I want to see him win an MVP yet, let’s see some damn blood first at least

@NBATourDates Call me crazy, but did Giddey drop this game on purpose for his ex-teammates?!? Coincidence @NBA, or maybe an investigation. Josh is not a player who has 3 points until late into the 4th quarter, and then drop one more bucket to finish with 5 points! WTF...

just seen Shai’s boxscore no fucking way
English
@SleepyJoeEnjoyr @HoodiiBron Can't be the best player in the world if he doesn't play no defense.
English
@HoodiiBron Wemby deserves it more than Shai but the best players in the world rn is Luka Doncic.
English
@bigsportscasual I even might concede that at his peak, if he really works hard and be healthy, he could be a poor Batman like Reggie Miller was, but that's his max ceiling.
English
@GunawanMS2 Sometimes all a team needs to be complete is a robin, another Batman would just throw things off. There are a few teams I think kon could be a better fit for
English
Which rookie would you rather have on your NBA team right now?
Cooper Flagg or Kon Knueppel
English
@bigsportscasual I agree with you,and Kon actually can win ROTY title he's on fire throughout the season and really helps the Hornets get into play in tournament (perhaps even straight playoffs berth). But we just have to put a clear distinction from the beginning.
English
@BiasedHouston @HighliteSZN If the Spurs overtake the Thunder, then it will be 50-50 between the two of them.
English
@HighliteSZN Yeah like it’s not going to anyone but SGA and we’ve got to stop pretending like it is lol
English
Every time a new candidate enters the MVP race, the question is always “Can (insert candidate) catch SGA?” and I think that tells you who the MVP is.
Kalshi Hoops@KalshiHoops
WOW: Victor Wembanyama’s MVP odds on Kalshi have surged to 24%. Can Wemby catch SGA?
English
@BC10359877 @ZachNBA_ Your team was projected higher than the Spurs to start the season, and has a GOAT and another all-star level guard in Austin Reaves. 😂😂😂
English
My MVP take:
I think it is totally reasonable for either Wemby or Shai to win
Both are deserving and have impacted winning more than anyone in the league
Jokic and Luka have also had an elite year but just behind
The #1 seed should play a part, but not be the deciding factor
English
@ZachNBA_ Wemby MVP will forever have an asterisk on it if he can't lead the Spurs to overtake the Thunder ranking. If the Spurs are first overall, then the MVP title is 100% legitimate Wemby's.
English
@Hero_OfThe_Day Can you spot the 1 franchise player that got traded for being a fat slob and refuse to play defense ? 🧐
English
That time Victor Wembanyama tried to post up Luka Doncic, got locked up, then had the ball stripped 👀🔥🔥
You all can have that fake MVP award. The people know who the best player in the world is!! 🗣️🗣️
English
@_TheRoch_ @mj_bustillos Wemby is basically the most fun player to watch right now, a must see TV that even media people that have free access will pay to see. 😂
English
@mj_bustillos No we’re saying stop putting him in convos he isn’t in yet, yall along with Wemby himself are ruining his reputation and making him the least likable player in the league
English
@Lakersallthewa3 I mean, what more can be so embarrassing rather than be traded as a franchise player because of being a fat slob NBA player that won't play defense ? 😂😂😂
English
So these past 5 games Wemby beat up on 3 tanking teams and barely beat a Suns team without 3 starters at home and he moves up from 3rd to 1st???

deadass hope the NBA gets overtaken by some other league elsewhere. there’s so much bias against players that genuinely deserve awards and that goes beyond MVP.
anyone who watches basketball wouldn’t expect a guy who averages 39/8/8 in his last 10 games with a 9-1 record to somehow drop from 2nd to 4th, not to mention this b2b WC POTW awards. you genuinely never see that.
a case could be made for wemby okay, but even then how can they justify jokic surpassing luka?
the media deserve all the slander they get bc they’re all unjust and bias fucks that only favour select players and hold prejudice agendas against luka bc he plays for “LA” or bc he’s fkn slovenian?
fuck this league

This is just fact
Wemby is a 7’5 PJ Washington
If you like him or he’s your favourite player then your either a bad person or a loser
I firmly believe that 99% of people on this planet would be better than Wemby if they were blessed with his genetics
🛰️@KT_3410
I’m sorry but how do you respect a Wemby fan? Born with the best genetics in basketball history, but he gets applauded because he’s “coordinated for his size.” Well when you’re 7’5 and being coordinated is all you have to worry about then it doesn’t sound too hard to develop. If he wasn’t good at basketball then it would simply just be embarrassing. I prefer players who had to work their asses off to actually develop various skills, instead of being handed everything at birth. “He’s a great defender!” He’s 7’5 he better be a great defender and should be averaging at least 7 blocks a game. He already had everything handed to him: genetic lottery, great team after one healthy year. But that isn’t enough, he has to cry to the media to win his MVP because that’s all he’s used to: getting what he wants because he’s super tall so he has people in awe, and it really worked. Players like Luka can string together seasons putting up a near 35 point triple double, SGA with the most efficient 30 point season ever, and Jokic putting up 28/13/11, but it just doesn’t matter because the crybaby has to get what he wants. If anyone else acted the way he does they’d be labeled corny, but he’s labeled passionate.
