I remember when that reporter was the sole dissenter in the MVP vote, and he caught some heat for it. I cannot remember the reason he gave back then, but I wonder how he feels now that a player than cannot hold MJ's jock is now unanimous MVP.

Maybe it's because Im too young to truly remember watching MJ growing up, but I don't know why people are so eager to hate on curry to justify how great MJ was.

Curry had an amazing season. He deserved the MVP.

Jordan should have been the unanimous MVP many times. Curry has earned it once.

False memories due to your reckless lifestyle no doubt, LeBron James finished 1 vote short of unanimous in 2012-13 and Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal missed by a vote in 1999-2000. MJ missed by three votes and in 1996 voting wasn't public.

Quote
Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe voted for New York's Carmelo Anthony in 2012-13, using the logic that Anthony did more with less. He has a good argument, since the Knicks won 54 games, which still ranks as the team's best season in the last 20 years. ...

...CNN's Fred Hickman cast his vote in 1999-2000 for Philadelphia's Allen Iverson, who would win the award a year later.

I don't think there's any question that curry is miles away from the career MJ had.

But his regular season this year is up there among the greatest regular seasons ever. MVP is a regular season award.

It's stupid MJ never won a unanimous MVP. We can agree on that without needing to tear down what Curry did to rightfully earn his unanimous MVP.

Re-read my post. Obviously we have found you in a dissolute state again on a Saturday night.

you got the wrong guy, I made a mistake in my recollection. I have never had any engagement with you so I don't know where you get all the conclusions about 'reckless lifestyle', or 'dissolute state again'.

My apologies. It was just a joke.
