10. "*sucks in through teeth* man, it's close." In response to In response to 9
Because, IIRC, there's never been an MVP who *didn't* make it. And he's definitely had influence/impact on the game...
... but he's only had 3 All-Star Games and 1 All-NBA team.
Like, compare that with Draymond Green, who people were insisting in the other post shouldn't make it... but he has 3 All-Star Games, 2 All-NBA Teams, a DPOY, five All-Defense teams, and a college National Player of the Year. Oh yeah, and three rings.
That said, the MVP is huge.
If he won a ring, I think that'd seal the deal. Or maybe another ASG or two if his resurgence continues. If not that... then if he just did the "ambassador of the game" thing post-career and made a difference that way, garnered some post-career good will, I bet that'd nudge him in.
