Rachel Nichols Proves Why She Can No Longer Be An Official NBA Voter © 

Your video is stupid and in bad faith. Instead of attacking the system and methodology (or lack of really) to give the award you chose to make a personal aggression, coming as misogynous and biased. I have 0 sympathy for Rachel Nichols, but that's also true for all other media "personalities" involved in the voting process. What you clearly don't understand is that the MVP is a popularity award, it doesn't have much value in other terms than marketing and business reasons.

OjoRojo40 So he’s misogynistic because he criticised the thought process of someone who happens to be a women, great logic👍

@@shoshob9666 @Biggie Jones Read again please I clearly said "He comes as misogynistic" and that's because of the way the video is framed. My critic is in his lack of systemic approach and his focus on one woman, when he could have picked any other crappy member of the jury facing again similar problems in his analysis. I hope know you understand better. Have a good day!

That's what women do

Agreed. She has no clue what she’s doing. Although I will say that sometimes the narrative is also the best choice, such as Giannis last year, Westbrook in 2017, or D-Rose in 2011. But the whole Steve Nash-Kobe-Chris Paul MVP situation was definitely fucked up, and I’m a huge Nash fan

Let's be real, that's what most voters do period.

@@Supermariohoops24 Westbrook did not deserve The MVP over Harden. You shouldn't get an MVP bc the Narrative of KD leaving and you got alot of triple doubles. He only won 45 games that year.

Someone says this every year. What, you don’t get it, huh? The media chooses who they want as Mvp for the better STORY LINE. Why do you think Harden always looks depressed. Guy knows he should have 3 mvps. It’s a sad world we live in. Everything is phony now a days.

Lol his teams systems don't allow that. They run a heavy ISO through him. He has a high usage rate and a team system would help everyone not just him. You notice how anyone that leaves his team preformer better. Its because they are playing team basketball not iso heavy so that he either barrels his way or takes a 3 or has to pass for a low shot clock shot.

Facts

nv.f I think the bias would be just as bad. The media at least don’t give a rip about players livelihood and legacies. The players do. They understand the weight of it. I think they’ll be more bias and try to vote for people they want to help them. Instead of voting for the people that NEED it. Coaches might have bias to former players. Players have bias for former or current teammates

@@WtJah That expected and it wouldn't affect the voting that much tbh, but media is on another level when it comes to bias.

nv.f I personally only see bias in the Mvp voting and even then. It’s been correct for the most part for years. When it comes to all nba. It’s very hard to classify who goes on what team. You know. There’s less bias there. The bias in the all defense team is more just they’ll just slap on the same group of names every year cause they either don’t watch games or can’t differentiate WHOS better than who

With offense. You can see the ups and downs. Not every scorer is out here giving you 30 every single game of every single season. But with defense. Players don’t have off seasons where their poor defenders. Then come back and be amazing. Then go back to being average. So I think that makes it even more difficult

Players are biased as well

On God I wish she'd caught more heat over that shit

And that chick was lying

Yes

I remember that and Rose was proven innocent. She's the worst, doesn't know jack shit about ball and it shows. A groupie is all she is.

She did the same on Kobe's death by bringing up his sexual assault allegations and no one noticed!

@Sports Guru whats the video called?

Lebron paying people to admire him? Lol GTFO haters. Lebron is one of the greatest players ever and you dont need the media to realize that. It's right in front of you with his accomplishments

@@tiktokexposed898you dont get m'y point. All I am saying his his accomplissements are exagererated by the media. Take for example Tom Brady who is arguably the greatest QB. Each and every year the guy is critised you will think he is a bad QB. I will give you one name Dave Mcmenamin, this guy is a LeBron and Klutch puppet. It is just ridiculous. The guy try to downplay Anthony Davis impact to make the case that LeBron is the True MVP. People bring all sort of net rating. But no one ask the question of where team were before AD came to the lakers. This guy is a superstar and the media covers him like he is a regular guy. Remember when KD and Steph was having great season on the warriors, people in the media refused to bring them in MVP conversion because they cancel each others, it is not fair for others players. Where is this argument now. Look at their last game against the celtics, AD was the true closer of the game, he makes some crucial buckets and late threefrows but all they talk about his the LeBron fadeaway. All I try to say is LeBron is a all time great, but he has flaws. He is not this good as the media want us to believe. There are others players that need to be more appreciated.

@@badelesalamy2579 I agree with that even as a lebron fan the media dickrides him. Hes still the best and most important player on the Lakers tho but AD is extremely important too

Badele Salamy good to see other sports fans not so blind. Lebron is great but A.D. the mvp. My older brothers been a lakers fan for over 25 years, he will tell you A.D. the MVP.

Look, i love me some Candace Parker but i won't let my bias for being in love with her, skew my judgment about the fact that she shouldn't have been one of the judges in the slam dunk contest. But to show i am not saying that, because she's a woman ( and a very beautiful one at that ) The actor, Chadwick Aaron Boseman should have DEFINITELY have not been a judge. Even candice is more qualified than him, being she actually has dunked in a professional basketball game, whereas Chadwick is an actor! So the NBA need to only have dunkers that's been in the contest to judge, doesn't matter if they didn't win the contest they were in or not.

@@videogameboutique2196 I can tell you one thing for sure is that the only reason Parker is on there and more NBA related things is to try to shove the wnba down our throats.

@@VaamChao why is it that nobody was saying what you said, when Doris burke was climbing up the ranks in sportscasting? Doris started her career in the WNBA, yet she doesn't get the, "they're shoving the WNBA down our throats" the entire time she was ascending in her career. I wonder why that is....

@@videogameboutique2196 maybe cause she wasn't a player? It's not that deep 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@@josesalazar7556 It doesn't matter she wasn't a WNBA player. She played basketball at college as a guard. And if the WNBA had existed back when she was in college, she would have entered the WNBA draft and been signed with a WNBA team. Furthermore, Doris burke is well known for being a WNBA advocate, being she was a sportscaster for the WNBA! So you're false logic, that nobody said anything about her, simply because she didn't play in a league that wasn't established, when she was playing college basketball makes no sense whatsoever. It's not about a woman playing in the WNBA, it's about what women advocate for and why. She's a woman and being a prominent figure in sportscasting in a male dominated field, makes her stand out as the face of the WNBA, more so than Candace parker, being she just started her career in basketball sportscasting. So if anyone is going to choose a woman as a poster child for the NBA, forcing the WNBA down the throats of male NBA fans, it would be DORIS BURKE. not Candace parker of all people. This is simply because, Doris is way more accomplished, being she has been around longer and the most important, is a WNBA alumni in terms of sportscasting.

That's why she has the job. The NBA isn't a sport anymore, it's sports entertainment. ESPN and the NBA make money on the league's success so they need a mouthpiece who will push forth their narrative. It's really sad to see. The refs try to turn every game into a close exciting game while making horrible calls and no calls which ruins the game. If every game is special, then no game is special. What makes a game special is that you saw a fair competition and most of the time they don't have a great ending. But those games that are legitimately officiated, and have a special ending stick with you for years. You tell your kids about them. The NBA has been going down this path since the 99 lockout. I really hate to see the sport that I have loved for decades reduced to this.

You’re absolutely right. It’s all about $$. They brainwash us into liking Cali teams unknowingly and wants a lakers vs clipper conference finals so they’re doing everything in there best power to make them 1 & 2 seed.

​@@ibn1989 Runningbacks got the MVP award after having historically great seasons. LT rushing for 30 TDs and AP getting nearly 2k yds. I blame ESPN. They hold an iron fist on manipulating people on what to think. According to ESPN nothing outside of Lebron, LA and NYC matters in the NBA. In the NFL nothing outside of the QB matters.

His video also gets a lot wrong. She asked Green about the LeBron narrative and let him speak, she didn't say she supported it. She also said winningest player and he interprets how he wants to interpret and guess what, she's not wrong either. He points out seeds but didn't address or confirm he knew what she meant. We can go through years of MVP votes that are circumspect. Also, I love Stephen A Jackson, if you haven't listened to his and Barnes podcast you should, but he's not a great evaluator either. He's not dumb, often has great analysis, but he has a tendency to overrate players and himself especially. Also, he says she doesn't evaluate NBA players and again, how does he know. Does he spend every day with her? Does he watch the NBA with her? He has no idea what she's doing. That's not too say she isn't wrong or being hypocritical but Basketball Examined does the very thing he accuses others of doing. He's injecting his own beliefs on what he thinks but doesn't know. He then points to her other jobs as though she couldn't have followed the NBA during that time. He's no better than the people he's criticizing.
