Curry's winning of the MVP trophy was very thrilling. The voting results showed that Curry only had 2 votes more than James!
James was very unhappy about this and told the media many times that he was wronged!
"This MVP trophy is mine, Curry stole the trophy from me!"
"My performance this season is much better than Curry's. Curry does not deserve the MVP trophy!"
"I am the number one in the league!"
"If it weren't for my teammates pulling their hips, our record would be better than the Warriors, and this MVP trophy would definitely be mine!"
…
Curry didn't say anything about this, and Deng Fang ignored James.
Not worth it!
Getting the trophy is the most important thing, the people’s eyes are sharp!
James was wronged? Ridiculous!
If it weren't for aesthetic fatigue, it wouldn't be a surprise for Curry to be unanimously voted MVP again!
Curry's data is slightly worse than James, but their playing time is also different!
Curry averages 25 points per game and James averages 26.8 points per game, but Curry averages 23 minutes per game and James averages 41 minutes!
James plays one more quarter per game than Curry!
In addition, Curry's field goal percentage is 49%, the three-point shooting percentage is 45%, and the free throw percentage is 91%. The sum of the three items is as high as 185!
James' field goal percentage was 56%, his three-point shooting percentage was 41%, and his free throw percentage was 75%. The sum of the three items was 172.
It seems that James' efficiency is not much lower, but you must know that James gets to the basket and dunks a lot of the ball, while Curry shoots more from the outside!
The gap is most obvious in terms of true shooting percentage. James's true shooting percentage is 57%, while Curry's is as high as 69.9%!
James' true shooting percentage is already very high, but Curry's shooting rate is even more terrifying!
Even O'Neal, the great inside offensive killer, has a true shooting percentage of only 58!
Therefore, even if you look at personal data alone, Curry is not inferior to James, and is even better than James!
Of course, in terms of personal data, James also said that at least outsiders who don't know the industry can fool him, but in terms of the team's record, he has no reason!
Although the Heat are first in the Eastern Conference, they are far behind the Warriors!
The Heat are 66 wins and 16 losses, which is a pretty good record, but the Warriors are 72 wins and 10 losses, and there is a 6-game difference between the two teams!
This is a very big gap!
In the final analysis, the team's record is the most important thing in the competitive arena!
Although there is aesthetic fatigue, the media experts who voted are not blind and have a conscience.
As for James saying his teammates were pulling their hips, no one would take it seriously!
You are the Big Three and the Warriors are a single core, what else do you want?
This is completely crazy talk that cannot afford to lose. Everyone knows it and no one takes it seriously!
No matter what, Curry won his fourth MVP trophy as he wished, and it was his fourth consecutive championship!
This is unique in NBA history!
There are indeed many players who have won MVP in NBA history, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 6 times, Jordan 5 times, Julius Erving 4 times, Johnson and Malone both 3 times, but none of them have won MVP for 3 consecutive years.
Only three people have won the MVP trophy for three consecutive years, Bill Russell, Chamberlain, and Larry Bird.
Bill Russell is a Celtics player who has set many records in his career and is also one of the greatest players of all time. This big man won the "Most Valuable Player" three consecutive times from 1961 to 1963.
”Award Player.
Of course, the Celtics won an NBA championship every season in between, and Russell could have won his fourth consecutive MVP in 1964, but he finished behind Oscar Robertson and Williams in the votes that year.
Walter Chamberlain, so he lost the election.
But Russell won another MVP in 1965.
Chamberlain is one of the greatest players in NBA history. He is also the second player after Bill Russell to win the MVP for three consecutive years. He is also recognized as the greatest center of that era.
Chamberlain won three consecutive "Most Valuable Player" trophies from 1966 to 1968. He led the Philadelphia 76ers to defeat the San Francisco Warriors and win the championship (1967), even though the Celtics maintained their dominance during that period.
But there is no better player in the league than Chamberlain.
Larry Bird is also a Celtics player. Unlike Russell and Chamberlain, the two previous players who won the MVP trophy for three consecutive years, Larry Bird is not a center player, he is a center player.
A forward player, he has won the "Most Valuable Player" trophy for three consecutive years in his career and also won two championships.
Russell, Chamberlain and Larry Bird have all won the MVP trophy for three consecutive years, but no one has won it for four consecutive years!
Now Curry has done it!
This is another record that has never been done before, and it will be difficult for others to come after it!
…
Of course, the MVP trophy is just a sideshow, what everyone values more is the ownership of the championship!
After two days of rest, the semi-finals officially began.
At 8 pm on May 6, 2013, the first game between the Warriors and the Nuggets started on time at Oracle Arena.
This is the least interesting series because there is no suspense.
The first-round series between the Warriors and the Lakers ended early, while the Nuggets played 6 games against the Clippers. They were at a physical disadvantage compared to the Warriors.
More importantly, the Nuggets are far behind the Warriors in all aspects.
The first is the star player.
The Warriors are led by Curry. He is a four-time MVP trophy winner, a three-time FMVP winner, and the player with the greatest offensive threat in the league!
Who are the Nuggets?
Ty Lawson?
Gallinari?
Iguodala?
Andre Miller?
These people are all good role players, but they are far behind Curry!
These guys are barely even All-Stars, let alone superstars or super-giants!
The playoffs are about hard power, and the biggest manifestation of hard power is the stars!
The Nuggets are completely defeated at this point!
Of course, the Nuggets after Carmelo Anthony left are a civilian team. Their advantage is not in the stars, but in the fact that everyone is a soldier and there are many people playing!
But this is nothing compared to the Warriors!
The Nuggets have many players, but the normal rotation is only 8 players.
Even counting players like Anthony Randolph who only play a few minutes per game, the Nuggets only have 9 players!
But you know, the Warriors have as many as twelve players!
Curry, Clay, Barnes, Hayward, Yao Ming, Lowry, Ariza, Kirilenko, Tucker, Lopez, Middleton and Azubuike!
This doesn’t even count Yi Jianlian and Draymond Green who play a few minutes in every game!
For most teams in the league, the disappointing thing about the Warriors is that they have too many players!
The starter is very strong, and the substitutes are just as good!
It's difficult to deal with the starting lineup, and it's equally impossible to make up for it during the substitute period!
It is even said that the bench period is the best time for the Warriors to widen the point difference!
