Best player on the best team seams like a no brainer

[–] Wildpinkhairuke@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lebron going for the in season tournament MVP

Take that Jordan fans

[–] Putrid_Ad_2256@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ugh, you just made me think of a scenario where LeBron wins the in season tournament MVP and the LeNutswingers use it to claim that he has something that Jordan never had in an attempt to push the GOAT debate in Lebron's favor..... 😵‍💫

[–] chitownbulls92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wtf is this trash list lol? Why would sabonis be 2nd

[–] CenturyBreak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is so unnecessary

[–] cdawgftw@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Funny how they got traded for each other and now both killing it in their respective teams, sabonis and hali

[–] Status_Tennis_3206@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No kd is crazy

[–] NimDing218@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So after like what, 2 or so games?

[–] Drawing_The_Line@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like a Pacers-Timberwolves Final would be pretty fun.

What is the point of this tournament

[–] bobsstinkybutthole@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Increase competitive stakes during the regular season it's not that complicated bud

[–] 3s2ng@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So that /r/NBA can have something to hate about.

We just love to hate.

[–] LazyLeadz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But actually tho what is the point ?

[–] BrolysFavoriteNephew@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sabonis will take it if they keep winning. Idk why but he is absolutely deadly on offense from what I've watched

[–] Wild-Dog8398@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Except Halliburton has been better and the pacers are winning so?

[–] Hotdamncoffee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] TIandCAS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of when Dame won the bubble MVP and he literally got a Mickey Mouse trophy as an award

[–] youclod@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No one cares

Are these tourney games part of the 82 regular season games?

Or is this more games on top of the 82 regular season games?

[–] Single_Minute2829@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wait is that a thing? I actually kinda love that

[–] SkepticalKoala@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

TIL Jaylen Brown is our leading man...

[–] arrer3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i read that as the regular MVP at first. Thank fuck, the Haliburton glazers would've been too much

[–] WyngZero@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if the In-Season tournament MVP ends up being one of those cursed awards where the winner never wins the NBA Finals.

[–] inprofile@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

does anyone understand what this shit is other than an elaborate financial scheme to fund hideous courts

[–] Unqualified4All@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Homer though I may be, but I contend that Clarkson has been playing well enough to be acknowledged among at least the honorable mentions.

31 ppg 4 ast 2.3 rbs 1.3 stl .33 blk on 59/45.8/100 shooting leading the Jazz to a 2-1 record a high net rating and they pushed the KD/Booker Suns to the limit in an amazingly fun game.

[–] LoWE11053211@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is just...

sad...

clean up you damn court first

[–] ZigZagZoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think this matters because I think at the minimum its going to go to someone in the final four, probably the finals.

[–] Myrios369@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Dudeman-Jack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Isn’t just going to be whatever star is on the winning team? Whats the point of an mvp ladder?

[–] hotdogflavoredblunt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s herb Jones and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He doesn’t have the ppg to wow casuals :(((

[–] One-Switch-1448@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

the kings and pacers both won the trade, this is beautiful, one the greatest win win trades you’ll ever see.

[–] ShowdownValue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Only thing more reliable than Okc and Dallas fans bringing their rookies when one is mentioned?

Indiana and kings fans bringing up hali and sabonis when one is mentioned. Literally every single time.

[–] Primopastalover@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not really, Haliburton is so much better than Sabonis, who is a playoff choker. Without Fox being the talent that he is people would be crushing this trade.

[–] anonahmus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Inb4 : This proves Pacers won the trade, end of story.

/s

I’m just getting tired of hearing about the trade every time Boner, Hali or Fox is in the conversation.

[–] m_d_def@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

how winning this mvp affects LeBrons legacy if he wins it?

[–] Bonzi777@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jokes aside, I kind of think this tournament is going to Mather more than people think because fans of teams will start using accolades from it when arguing on behalf of their players.

[–] MikeDeanFucks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe. IMO it really depends on who wins it. If we win it all, it’ll be used as a meme/joke to clown on us until we go deep in the playoffs. If the Lakers win the tournament, it’ll be used to seriously prop up their season/team by the media/fans.

[–] Dudeman-Jack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Finally won something MJ didn’t

[–] I_ama_Borat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, I didn’t even realize it was happening already. Is it me or is there very little hype for this in season tournament?

[–] Caridina_kii@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Bballopinion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How the hell is KD not in here when he’s averaging 38 in the tournament?

[–] Public-Product-1503@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cos he lost? And he lost to Lebron and imo Bron had the more impactful game /played better in that one: AD was off due to coming back from hip /groin thing and not much of a factor either.

[–] Ramu_1798@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This win-win keeps on winning what the fuck?

Brunson is literally averaging 38 ppg in the tournament….

How he’s not on here amazes me.

[–] pendletonskyforce@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so confused with this new format.

[–] batmans420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This would be what we win lol
