For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

    That’s easy to say if you haven’t watch or followed that season. Basically every single person that knows even a little bit of basketball to the GOAT himself had him as MVP. He is practically a uninanimous MVP and the main reason they’re the best team in the League. I magine how people are so crazy about Luka now, and if he won MVP at 22, that would have been bonkers. So yeah, big numbers don’t necessarily get you MVP, it’s how you fare against your competition. Players feared and adored him at the same time. And the craziest of all, he called him being the MVP in the beginning of the season and people just brushed it off as a sign of competitiveness and extreme confidence.
