Championship or MVP? Draymond Green's Jalen Brunson Take | Worst Take
from Knicks Fan TV: The Podcast · host Knicks Fan TV
NBA MVP or NBA champion — which accomplishment matters more? Draymond Green sparked the debate after responding to Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter's conversation about championships versus regular-season MVP awards. Draymond argues that the real comparison shouldn't be an MVP against the 11th or 12th man on a championship roster. Instead, compare an MVP to the No. 1 option who leads his team to a championship. And that's where Jalen Brunson enters the conversation. After leading the New York Knicks to their first championship in 53 years, Brunson gives Draymond a perfect example. How does Brunson's accomplishment compare to Derrick Rose becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history? CP The Fanchise and Alex Trataros react to Draymond's argument and debate why a championship as the No. 1 option ultimately carries more weight. They also discuss whether Brunson should already be held in higher regard than Derrick Rose, why Rose's injury-altered career makes the comparison difficult, and how Brunson's championship résumé compares with MVP winners such as Russell Westbrook and James Harden. Plus, the guys revisit Dirk Nowitzki's legendary 2011 championship run and explain why iconic playoff runs tend to live longer in basketball history than individual regular-season awards.
