In this video, we look at the NBA draft analysis for the last 10 MVP Winners. This includes: Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, and Derrick Rose
@@AJ-jr1fd I agree. Not taking shots at Steph. I'm actually a Steph fan. Every player has some flaws just pointing out that Jay Bilas, I think, was spot on and its still true.
@@Speedy_Cy @Cube_25 @Alex Escutia i know but I think they were implying he would end up like KD saying stuff like "he likes KD", "he handles the ball like a point forward", "handles the ball well", "a willing passer", and "a greek Paul George" , whereas Giannis now is more similar to a skilled mobile big
It's still so crazy go me that okc drafted 3 mvp's in consecutive drafts and they were all gone within the decade and they have no rings to show for it.
That’s what you get when you buy a team under false pretenses and kill one of the better franchises and then are too cheap to pay the luxury tax after you just reached the finals with a group that should’ve won not one, not two, not three , … championships. #karma
No joke... Jay Bilas was spot on with Stephen Curry prediction coming out of college. Steph is literally everything that he said about it to a tee 100%
@@brianbadonde9251 he’s gotten better on perimeter D as well and hes great at reading passing lanes which leads to steals now these days I’d say he’s an average defender
@@fauxliage yea he can be a good defender when he commits to it, but someone as offensively talented as him, usually has little energy left back on defense. Besides guys like MJ and Giannis
@@alexescutia4805 Westbrook relies almost his entire game on his physicality, as the years pass by, his muscles aren’t the same, so his muscle memory is the same but his body isn’t, that in the long term affects the motion and power he puts in his shots.
I feel like these analysts cursed some of these teams, like when they said okc could trade one of their young players to fill holes or how they said the bulls were fragile
Ikr and if OKC had some insider info that the salary cap was gonna explode they coulda kept Harden too. Insane how that all played out. 3 mvps..0 rings.
@@ma1ist OKC's ownership group wanted to have their cake and eat it, too. They wanted a really good team, and they didn't want to pay luxury tax. Also, they willingly moved the team from the 12th largest TV market in the US to the 44th largest so they could play in the owners' hometown. Their greedy ownership group got what was coming to them.
They said Harden needs to work on his midrange no need now when you have the best step back 3 in the game and can get to the basket/free throw line whenever he wants
It's crazy how much different these players end up becoming after being drafted. Obviously the biggest change is Giannis but Harden went from being an all around just good guard to being a top 5 shooting guard of all time.
James Harden: "Must improve midrange jumper" Me a decade later: hahahhahahahhaha, James Harden? Midrange jumper? hahahahhahahahhaha. Why? He's just gonna stepback to the 3pt line anyway.
OKC drafted 3 MVP players in consecutive drafts. "Got to create a SUPER TEAM". And OKC did it and got nothing to show for it. Man, I feel bad for OKC and their fans...
More nba draft coverage I see, both historical and from the last few years following it more closely, the more I realise draft analysts have no clue how good these players will be defensively in the NBA. Its talked about as major strengths for Harden, Westbrook, and Rose. All horrible defenders. Not a word on it about James or Durant who can lock it down and be very good defensively when they need to be. And of course Giannis could end up as an all time great on defense, which they never even mentioned his defense in the otherwise great analysis.
God that Greg Oden take is cringe in retrospect. In 07 they were still holding on to that back to the basket traditional centre motif, today Durant would be picked number 1 so fast you couldn't even say Greg Oden.
