I'm having a discussion, meanwhile, you've thumbs down every post you don't like
And say my opinion is less valuable because of Draymond. Seriously, my man. It's okay to think differently. Draymond uses social media from the locker room when he gets kicked out, promotes himself with awards and all star games when there really isn't an argument, is of the opinion that it's okay to berate officials during games, thinks its cool to make fun of peers and opponents and also was of the opinion at least for a few seconds that it was okay to lay out a teammate in practice. I would hope you have a different basketball opinion in most of those cases and I'd say most people would agree. Draymond's opinion on how one should conduct themself as a player is actually a major turn off to a lot of basketball fans. Draymond is a good basketball player, smart enough to have finnessed his way into being officiated differently than the rest of the league. Smart dude, but his argument here doesn't tell the whole story. Case in point: When you go 40/20/20 against the Suns and use it as an MVP argument but fail to even acknowledge the Suns centers went for 36/20 and I think that's an important piece, that's an educated argument. Draymond's argument is 15 years from now people will look at the numbers and say how's that not the MVP. Draymond didn't say anything more than that. It not a bad argument, it's just IMO not the whole story. I think the counter is guys were also going off against him regularly and Shai was as good statisically as Jordan was most of his career this year and is also a really good defender. There's nothing there that isn't factual.

Your prime argument of voter fatigue is an argument and also one that people used when Jokic got his first. Giannis just had come off of 2 and argument was voters didn't wanna give him a 3rd right. But that changed when Denver won the title. His voter fatigue MVP is no longer a thing because his season actually warranted an MVP. I'm not saying you're 100% wrong here, but there's a lot of voters and a legit case for SGA. And if OKC wins the title nobody will ever say a word that Jokic was robbed just like they don't about Giannis 4 years later
