Shaq always brings up rings. How many rings did he win with HOF players🤔. Hakeem won 1 without and his second with Drexler. Plus he didn't have to go against Jordan. Plus it helps when the league and refs help you beat Sacramento.
@Micah Izzard People tend to make arguments in a way that benefits their narrative, the year Westbrook won the MVP the argument agains him was actually the team's record. The argument for Harden was that he basically had almost the same numbers as Russ but his team had a better record and that he scored more efficiently because of his 3ball, so really CP3 at that point of the season definitely deserved to be in the MVP conversation while now Jokic has pulled too far ahead for anyone to get him anymore at least in my opinion
Chuck has a great point: how do you take a perennially losing team, turn them into the 2nd seed in the West and not get MVP consideration? And the Nash point was solid
@@keandregreen5628 I agree too but it has been the best player with best record for a while...Nash got it in part too bc no one was doing what that team was doing and he was the engine to that

@@PedroRosado22 MVP is a useless award. It’s just a statistical award. Does Westbrook need an MVP when we already know he’s gonna grab his teammates rebound from him and stat pad for the triple double?

I still agree with Chuck, if you cannot lead your team to the most wins with a convincing dominance in win shares then how are you “valuable” to your team?
I used to be advocate for the BLM movement, but the facts support the police. Breonna Taylor’s previous boyfriend Jamarcus Glover is a criminal dealer who used her home address for deliveries. She was in business with Jamarcus Glover and other criminals, so there was a no knock warrant for her address (they linked Breonna to known criminals and spotted her vehicle near a suspected drug house). The police officers KNOCKED and announced themselves despite it being a no knock warrant (there’s a witness). The police officers go into the home after not hearing back and are immediately shot at by her new boyfriend Kenneth Walker. Walker shot one of the officers in the leg. The officers were forced to fire back. Unfortunately and tragically Breonna Taylor got caught in the crossfire. She was not shot in her bed execution style, but was standing in the hallway. Walker knew that his gf was standing in the hallway unarmed and defenseless, but fired anyways. The officer that was indicted was for recklessly shooting a different neighbor’s home during the altercation

@@TheRealLeonardWashington was an anomaly because he averaged a triple double if memory serves me right he did again in another season or two I think and didn't get multiple, also it made for a good storyline after KD left

He's the only one that actually watches games in his free time. Ernie and Chuck, in their podcast, admited that Shaq and Kenny barely watch any games apart from when they do the show.
I didn’t hear shaq scream about his rings at all! Seems to me shaq can’t win. He talks about his rings and he gets flack. He doesn’t talk about his rings - he still gets flack for talking about them in the past! He can’t express an opinion that he gets paid to do and gets labeled a hater. Seems to me there is plenty of “haters” in the comments. But hey you are all just expressing an opinion. Just like shaq. Hypocrites much!
@@Litchen-sh7lr LOL who in their right mind is hating on SHAQ? We all love SHAQ and his legacy is solidified but using the rings argument every time almost on cue is beyond annoying and ridiculous. I don’t see how that’s a wrong assessment. It’s like people people pick and choose who to be critical of these days and if you’re critical of somebody people like, then you’re a “hater” 😂😂🤷🏾♂️ We all know shaq got the rings by now but he’s run that statement into the ground. I don’t think Michael Jordan or even Bill Russell spend half the time talking about their rings like shaq does 😂😂
Charles made a valuable point : team impact is considered in MVP. "Can you make your team win championship/have a great season ? " Is definitely a big factor. The real problem is , they only look at "Dominant" players who score more points , triple double etc. Qualities like leadership is left behind which is really a shame. As Chuck often says, Cp3 is a great leader, each time he is in a new team, he brings a new life in it. It is a unique quality nowadays , not as flashy as others but He should be in the talk for MVP.
In addition to his assists, Nash is tied for the 19th highest career true shooting percentage out of all nba players and has twice as many 50/40/90 seasons as any other player. People don’t realize how good he was.
“Team doesn’t matter” well I thought there was a stat showing that almost like 90% of all MVPs were the top 2 teams in their conference.... and Westbrook was the exception? I’m confused now. Imagine saying “I care about team success”, also Shaq “ it’s not about the team success” , while playing in a team sport.
Westbrook got it because he was averaging a 30 point triple double and had crazy numbers. Paul’s numbers are nowhere near as good as some other guys, numbers matter more than team record. Team record should only be a deciding factor when it’s close between 2 players
@@mrjaredsoccer that’s not the point. That has happened before. Nash averaged 15 and 11 and won over Shaq, and Duncan who had better stats than him, but he was the best player in the best team. If the suns get the 1 seed, I don’t see why they wouldn’t consider Paul as the MVP, when they were trash last year without him
@@kobeandcarmelostanaccount5540 I agree if him and Kobe teamed up I could see them winning multiples finals and it would of took some of the stress off Kobe especially with Phil Jackson as the coach that’s the crazy part
So now they saying teams don’t matter they been saying for years oh his team record this and team record that. Even with the Rose conversation the Bulls had the number 1 seed in the eastern conference that year
To me the players I believe who should be MVP candidates so far and I'm picking at least four players, I would say Mitchell, Embiid, Harden, lebron. To me my definition of player winning the MVP is about a player who has good enough individual numbers or better than good enough individual numbers and their team has a good record or better, it has to be almost a balanced between these two.
@@LockDoWNLou damn yo facts all fucked up drose had the better year and better record was the only player to finish top 10 in points and assist that year
Chuck is kind of right on this. It reminds me of Nash's first MVP. Suns didn't even make the playoffs the year before and the next they were the #1 seed and he lead the league in assists and won MVP.
@@braydonblanton8218 exactly it depends on the hype of the team and player. i feel like unless the player is having an historic season like Russ, they put team success at a high standard for the award
To win mvp they should give every statistic a value and tally it up, whoever has the highest value wins it automatically. Includes team rank, ppg, assists, steals, efficiency, etc. This would actually make a lot of sense...
When Nash won mvp he didn’t have someone like booker that could score at will or in late game situations. Paul not putting up crazy numbers and the is obviously players having better seasons
I got a really big feeling that alot of projected winning teams are going to get upset in the playoffs this year. Alot more than previous years. And point guards don't get MVP consideration like they did in the past. Too many combo guards.
In ‘87, Jordan averaged 37 pts a game but Magic had a better record and a better all around season. Magic won MVP not just in ‘87 but ‘89 and ‘90. Jordan was the more dominant player.
He was only saying Derrick Rose didn't put up big numbers his MVP season LeBron had better numbers that year but Derrick Rose had the better team so he won the MVP
Lebron is arguably the MVP every year but Chris Paul should be in the discussion, I do not understand how that is even a debate ? Chris Paul has had plenty of MVP a candidate years as well...
Charles and Shaq are both right..Chris Paul doesn't have a realistic shot at MVP this year, but team success DOES matter..MVP has ALWAYS been the better/best player on the best team..Bill Russell beat Wilt and Oscar for MVP, Wilt had 50/25 a game while the Big O averaged a triple double.. Nash was never the best player in the NBA, we know this, but he had back to back MVPs, team success has always mattered... Should it matter? That's a separate conversation..
If team success matter, then why westbrook won? His team success was 6th or 8th seed if I remember correctly. Years later, everyone realised that he was statpadding . I mean it should win somebody whose team is at least championship contender
Charles was saying CP3 deserves MVP considerations, didnt say he is the outright winner. Shaq is sensitive, Kenny's role is really to add fuel and instigate arguments
First time ever I'm agreeing with Shaq. MVP is about the best player in the league in that season (while of course considering his contributions to his team)
I agree with Charles on this one. Having the best regular season & effecting your team winning makes you valuable. You can score 35ppg but if you're team is losing doesn't really count.
Nash was the best player on that Suns and CP is not. No hating. CP deserves a MVP with the caliber he played over the years but the closest he got was 08 and Kobe win fair that year.

The Bulls were still the first seed the next year, with D Rose only playing half of the games. That should tell you allot about D Rose's MVP season. People say MVP should go to the best player on the best team, but just because you have a best record, doesn't mean you have the best team. 75% of the NBA is trash, and just because the Bulls were better at winning against mediocre teams than the Heat, doesn't make them the better team.

Lebron doesn’t deserve consideration for mvp look at his record once AD went out.
As a bron fan I agree he needs to go on a tear to get it baxk
Agree
Very good point
The issue with LeBron MVP case is that his stats are not better than last season and the absence of AD is glaring.
@@PedroRosado22 MVP is a useless award. It’s just a statistical award. Does Westbrook need an MVP when we already know he’s gonna grab his teammates rebound from him and stat pad for the triple double? Or that Giannis can only play an exploitable euro step or Harden’s 50 fga per game? I still agree with Chuck, if you cannot lead your team to the most wins with a convincing dominance in win shares then how are you “valuable” to your team?
I used to be advocate for the BLM movement, but the facts support the police. Breonna Taylor’s previous boyfriend Jamarcus Glover is a criminal dealer who used her home address for deliveries. She was in business with Jamarcus Glover and other criminals, so there was a no knock warrant for her address (they linked Breonna to known criminals and spotted her vehicle near a suspected drug house). The police officers KNOCKED and announced themselves despite it being a no knock warrant (there’s a witness). The police officers go into the home after not hearing back and are immediately shot at by her new boyfriend Kenneth Walker. Walker shot one of the officers in the leg. The officers were forced to fire back. Unfortunately and tragically Breonna Taylor got caught in the crossfire. She was not shot in her bed execution style, but was standing in the hallway. Walker knew that his gf was standing in the hallway unarmed and defenseless, but fired anyways. The officer that was indicted was for recklessly shooting a different neighbor’s home during the altercation

Charles Barkley is the only nba commentator that actually speaks facts about basketball. Shaq just screams about his rings, and all other nba commentators just say hot takes for clicks. Chuck the goat
He's the only one that actually watches games in his free time. Ernie and Chuck, in their podcast, admited that Shaq and Kenny barely watch any games apart from when they do the show.
I didn’t hear shaq scream about his rings at all! Seems to me shaq can’t win. He talks about his rings and he gets flack. He doesn’t talk about his rings - he still gets flack for talking about them in the past! He can’t express an opinion that he gets paid to do and gets labeled a hater. Seems to me there is plenty of “haters” in the comments. But hey you are all just expressing an opinion. Just like shaq. Hypocrites much!
@@Litchen-sh7lr LOL who in their right mind is hating on SHAQ? We all love SHAQ and his legacy is solidified but using the rings argument every time almost on cue is beyond annoying and ridiculous.

I don’t think Michael Jordan or even Bill Russell spend half the time talking about their rings like shaq does 😂😂
Charles made a valuable point : team impact is considered in MVP.
"Can you make your team win championship/have a great season ? " Is definitely a big factor.
The real problem is , they only look at "Dominant" players who score more points , triple double etc. Qualities like leadership is left behind which is really a shame. As Chuck often says, Cp3 is a great leader, each time he is in a new team, he brings a new life in it. It is a unique quality nowadays , not as flashy as others but He should be in the talk for MVP.
In addition to his assists, Nash is tied for the 19th highest career true shooting percentage out of all nba players and has twice as many 50/40/90 seasons as any other player. People don’t realize how good he was.
“Team doesn’t matter” well I thought there was a stat showing that almost like 90% of all MVPs were the top 2 teams in their conference.... and Westbrook was the exception? I’m confused now. Imagine saying “I care about team success”, also Shaq “ it’s not about the team success” , while playing in a team sport.
You're right, that statistic is pretty accurate.
Westbrook got it because he was averaging a 30 point triple double and had crazy numbers. Paul’s numbers are nowhere near as good as some other guys, numbers matter more than team record. Team record should only be a deciding factor when it’s close between 2 players
Paul has a similar record to guys like Embiid and Lebron and had way worse stats stop it
@@MM-jc7uv but that's not how it is so you can't expect it to change randomly
@@mrjaredsoccer that’s not the point. That has happened before. Nash averaged 15 and 11 and won over Shaq, and Duncan who had better stats than him, but he was the best player in the best team.

It's tough to hang in a debate with someone who finishes half his points by saying, "STOP IT."
MVP = Most Valuable Player. It’s not that complicated. The team success should have nothing to do with it. Shaq is right

Kenny is an asshole. His takes are always pretty bad and his arguments even worse.
@@pickandhoop 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm riding with Chuck on this one. CP3 should definitely be in the argument if his team has a very good record.
CP3 is possibly the greatest PG in history. Leaving him without MVP for his career will be robbery.
To me the players I believe who should be MVP candidates so far and I'm picking at least four players, I would say Mitchell, Embiid, Harden, lebron.
To me my definition of player winning the MVP is about a player who has good enough individual numbers or better than good enough individual numbers and their team has a good record or better, it has to be almost a balanced between these two.
This argument is so dumb. If the MVP went to the best player, then MJ and LeBron would each have 10+ MVPs.
ik D Rose was a dog his MVP year but to say he was the best player in a league with Lebron, Kobe, & KD is ridiculous
Not the best but as a bron fan I ain’t too mad man was unguardable too fast for everyone

Chuck is kind of right on this. It reminds me of Nash's first MVP. Suns didn't even make the playoffs the year before and the next they were the #1 seed and he lead the league in assists and won MVP.
We need to establish the definition of mvp. Is it the best performing player or the player that has the biggest impact on their team?
The criteria changes every year it seems like lol
Well last time that happened was when Russ won mvp when his team wasn’t even a top 5 seed. Just depends
@@braydonblanton8218 that was only because of the triple double narrative. He shouldn’t even have finished top 3 that year.
@@braydonblanton8218 exactly it depends on the hype of the team and player. i feel like unless the player is having an historic season like Russ, they put team success at a high standard for the award
To win mvp they should give every statistic a value and tally it up, whoever has the highest value wins it automatically. Includes team rank, ppg, assists, steals, efficiency, etc.
This would actually make a lot of sense...
I agree with Barkley. It just sucks he won't be talking about the Suns Nachos anymore lol

Nash was never the best player in the NBA, we know this, but he had back to back MVPs, team success has always mattered... Should it matter? That's a separate conversation..
If team success matter, then why westbrook won? His team success was 6th or 8th seed if I remember correctly. Years later, everyone realised that he was statpadding . I mean it should win somebody whose team is at least championship contender
