If LeBron doesn't win another ring it'll be because there's been too many miles on his body I can't believe he's still playing healthy I thought he was going to be done a long time ago honestly I really don't expect LeBron to win because I think father time is unbeaten and the thing in LeBron's case vs Jordan LeBron has much more miles on his legs and minutes played then Jordan so I'm not sure that LeBron is going to be able to muster up that same energy Jordan had because the miles don't match up but not because LeBron isn't good enough

"Meaningless MVP" Really? I understand the regular season MVP is not the same as playoffs MVP, but meaningless? What a vacuous statement.

[@user-gw6pv2ry5c]

Playoffs mvp is just a popularity contest. Regular season matters way more

[@tyquieshawright5825]

Agreed

[@Havik_1996]

@@user-gw6pv2ry5c but you lose way more too when you get to the playoffs when you win regular season MVP's.

[@jackmehoff2503]

Not vacuous at all. Holds water... would you dare argue Westbrook or Harden were the best players in the league at any point? They had great seasons when putting up numbers, but no one ever thought they were the best player, or even the most valuable considering you still had lebron taking a group of subpar players to the finals.

Kawhi understands that MVPs are almost meaningless as they are voted by the media and the media always selects the player that suits their best interests and has the "best storyline". Plus as a player Kawhi understands his job isn't to win MVPs but to win championships. Btw loved how Molly didn't interrupt and actually stayed within her job description.

[@ThePatman1980]

Last time I was truly confident about the Clippers, Kawhi went to the Clippers. That was 15 months before it actually happened! 🤣
