How is Wemby not -1000 for the MVP

[theriver55]

Spurs went on an incredible mid season run, not just winning, but covering a vast majoirty of those big spreads.

a lot of shit teams though KVB. Not sure of the quality of their competition but it was impressive. did they peak too early?

Yeah, you can see in the size of those spreads it's not just a good San Antonio, it's a bit of shit competition.

But even then the spread is somewhat of an equalizer and San Antonio has been barreling through.

Defintiely feels like an early peak, but then again not sure they've peaked yet as we haven't seen much of a dropoff.

I think they make it to the Western Confererence finals and maybe move on. It's not too soon, it's time.

This is his third season. Not first, not second, but third.

We can't use the too soon argument anymore.

Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship in the 1990-91 season, which was his seventh season in the NBA. Drafted in 1984, he led the Chicago Bulls to their first title by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.

I know KVB a different time now in the association, but it did Take MJ 7 years

It took LeBron James nine seasons to win his first NBA championship, achieving the feat in 2012 with the Miami Heat at 27 years old. He was drafted in 2003 and won his first title in the 2011-12 season, subsequently winning four titles over his career to date.

Yeah I do think different time. Jordan was dethroning some real NBA kings, ones that grew the game in teh early 80s like never before.

It took SGA like 7 years too.

Jokic in the 8 th season too.

you may be right. Let's see if SA gets to the West finals they can at least take it 7 games like INDY last year.

I'm not crowning him a champ yet, but I do think they get to the Western Conference Finals.

In that respect, I do think it's not too early.

agreed

Thing is they will bump wembys minutes up 8-10+

They will be ever better

This was interesting discussion as we started to uncover how these stars really do take 7 or more seasons to get that first title.

Jokic might have won sooner, I think Murray hurt his knee in 2021 or so and that derailed the nuggets a bit.

They were pretty good then.

It took Nikola Jokić eight seasons to reach the NBA Finals.

Bottom LINE KVB. Game 7 Of WCF in OKC. Assuming everyone healthy? Who you got? SA vs. OKC

Yeah, I noted that above

But they might’ve done it sooner if Murray hadn’t been hurt. That team was put together a couple years before they got there.

Might depend on how the series went, but at this point, I might take San Antonio.

OKC made it to the finals last year, they don’t need to go again.

Wemby it’s about to become a playoff fixture

OK I will play the % of a superstar not making the finals till 7th or 8th year. However with the way the league is now think SA next year could do it. Just not in year #3 for Wemby. IMO.
