I didn’t watch every single game obviously and neither did you, however I watched a ton that season. How about this, tell me what I said that’s wrong, tell me what MVP year over the last 25 years was weaker? Tell me why Chicago still won 50 games the next year? Can you make an actual argument other than proclaiming you’re the expert and no one can argue with you?

I watched the season (as I have since basically the mid-80’s), like I said it was an awesome year, also I never said he wasn’t deserving. You put a lot of words in my mouth. What you’re saying can be true, it doesn’t change anything I said, he had a weak MVP season. Also I don’t agree with you that he was the only reason they were winning, they had a great defensive team, and Thibs is well known for driving regular season success at the teams detriment. They won 50 games the next season with rose playing a lot less and not as well, so clearly the team could win without him. Tbh based on what you’re saying it sounds like you probably didn’t watch that season, but I’m not going to make a baseless accusation just because someone said something I don’t like.
His MVP year was awesome, but let’s not conflate it with some sort of legendary year. He was 6th is PPG, 6th is WS/48, and 4th in total WS. For an MVP year it might be the weakest ones of the last 25 years. To say because he won MVP in his third year he had a tremendous trajectory doesn’t tell the whole story.
Udoka is such an easy target, just respond, “having fun with the training staff” or something like that.
