It's criminal the best big man on the best team for 5 years straight couldn't get the award more than one time.
He was clearly the most valuable player in the league and the reason why they won their championships.
Y'all making the offs breh?Dantoni, go head and rest them boys for the playoffs.
To be fair, Shaq didnt really go after MVP awards except the year he won it in 2000. He had something to prove that year and led the league in scoring as well. But their other championship years Shaq (as well as several other teammates) would coast thru the regular season and not really go hard til like April, a month before the playoffs. Other star players were putting up #'s all year, but the early 2000's Lakers only cared about the playoffs and Finals. They actually started the whole "regular season means nothing" mentality when Phil was over there coaching. Team had 2 top 5 players, a deep bench of vets who already had jewelry, and a coach that had won 6 rings, and a league DEVOID of talent after Jordan "retired". They had a tendency to get bored and always try to "cut it on". So that is the REAL reason Shaq didnt get anymore MVPs in LA despite being the league's most dominant player. Now when he went to the Heat, you can make an argument he should've got it over Nash 1 of those years, but he wasnt the same Shaq either by that point.
The players got that money, now they ain't being all friendly...
Dantoni, go head and rest them boys for the playoffs.
Cant rest
Harden just made a big ass deal about playing every game and why he should be the MVP
Didn't he say that? Not leaving his teammates out there and all that other shit right? Wanted credit for playing with a hurt wrist right?
Get out there and finish the season.

Forgot about that. Damnit. You're right.
Dantoni, Harden still has the flu and all the starters too. Sit em'.
Yeah, and you damn near got to pull a pistol on Westbrook to make him sit down. No rest for Harden.
You're about 10 months late with that assessment Bruh...Lebron played 37 minutes in a 20 point win against the Magic when they play again tonight
Was the triple double that important? I'm beginning to think Lue is an idiot and lucked in to a ring

Eggzsactly. LeBron walked them muthafucka's down.Walked them down.
This on the second night of a back to back...this performance is really really big for them.I see Lebron has to go into god mode once again...Shit is crazy...
Bron sent a message to Boston tonite... Still played too many minutes tho. But he big boy'ed the shit outta them cats.
And then stayed in with 20 point lead to like 4 minutes left..Way too many. It's the 1st half minutes that kill it.
2nd half I don't mind but he played the 1st then was running with the 2nd unit while thomas was resting then the celtics scored like 5 points and lue put bron right back in to finish the half
let the nigga sit
And then stayed in with 20 point lead to like 4 minutes left..
