    I would just post the names of the people who voted for Westbrook in 2017 and then for Giannis in 2019. "It's all about winning."

    No. This is petty.



    I think they should have just congratulated Giannis, but still think it was done respectfully.

    Lol, that was pretty funny.

    Rockets didn't say anything about Giannis, just hyped their own guy, so I don't see any problem. I'll refrain from criticizing the MVP process too much though I thought the observation that MVP has become a version of most-improved is insightful. But, I hate the decision to wait after the season to declare the MVP. Once the finals are over, IDGAF who the MVP is. The bragging rights are most useful when you're in the playoffs.

    I don't know who started it but let's say the media did - why fuel further divide with stupid stuff like this that serves no purpose but to tarnish the same voters who will likely vote next season and next and next and next? Fine do it if you want to but don't come back and cry "oh media hates us"
