Tyrese Maxey had the biggest increase in PPG than any player on this list and he finishes 6th? This should’ve been unanimous for Maxey.

But they give it to the 2nd overall pick in his 3rd season?

I like Ja a lot, but he was already a star. MIP is meant for middling guys who move into a leadership role.

Of the nominees, I was hoping for Dejounte (he had a great year) but Poole probably deserved the award.

Murray took a big jump and would have been worthy also.

Yea ^ this.

Not a knock on Ja but when you're already projected to become a star and potentially a superstar then you shouldn't be eligible for MIP. Morant's ascent was quicker than most assumed and that obviously played a factor.

Poole was the choice here.

No disrespect, Grizz.

This vote gave me explosive diarrhea, and I absolutely mean that in a disrespectful way towards Ja and the entire Memphis fanbase.

Is it true JA gave the award to Desmond Bane?

This is a probably a retarded take but is someone like Jordan Poole really an “improved player”? His per 36 and shooting percentages are identical from last year, did he improve or is he the same player and just got more minutes. Obviously it’s harder to substain a certain level over play over more time so maybe that’s where the “improvement” comes into play

Meh whatever. Fuck Ja Morant.

You are right. Dejounte Murray should be the MIP because Poole something or other.

But I disagree on the last sentence. Ja Morant is one of the most entertaining players in the league. Plus he has a giraffe named after him.

And you are on point again with Ja making that sweet left hand layup to win the game.
