@@universe.factory Jordan Poole.

Before this season he was never an All Star. He was super-hyped, and definitely a highlight machine, but that shouldn't be confused with where he is NOW. Look at his advanced stats year on year, look at his points per 36 minutes year on year, look at how his FG% jumped up.

Averaging 8 more points a game from last season to also go with a new career high in rebounds at about 6 a night. He’s hardcore.

Facts. Idk wtf the nba is on

Warriors are going to win the finals and they need JP3 and curry and klay

Big Facts

listen. MIP isnt if you sucked and got better. its ALWAYS AND ONLY about how much youve improved. ja went from 19 points to 27 points a game. poole only went from 12 points to 18 a game. ja had better assists and rebounds as well. ja is the real MIP, becasue he IMPROVED the most

to get MIP, you can be a promising player like ja and still improve more than someone like poole. poole improved lots, but ja improved more.

My interest too.

You said it right. I am a fan of him too. He and the others are the reason for Grizzlies improved in reducing no.of losses and increasing no.of wins year-by-year. He is the reason for Grizzlies increasing popularity and for himself. In Wikipedia, Grizzlies individual awards, Morant has many awards. Grizzlies also are my favourite team in Nba. Love to them from india.

underrated comment

Yes absolutely.

U and curry is trash

Well it's Ja's 3rd season, so your comment doesn't make sense.

curry is weak

@@starmorpheus so was derrick rose ? And they didn't give him mip cuz he was already a superstar and supposed to be good in the nba thy never give mip to these kinda players cuz U expect them to be good ... do U know what i mean ?

@@gabbysolario5326 Look at this loser hating on greatness bruh smh 💀💀💀

Poole wasn't even a Finalist. Stop crying about it.

@@isaiahthomas4444 he should've been it was he was saying

Facts Poole got it

He already gave the award to Bane. Ask Google.

@@isaiahthomas4444 neither was ja shithead

I mean if that’s your argument than Garland should have gotten it. He wasn’t an all star player last year, and significantly improved his game in about the same amount of minutes

Dejountae

Djounte clear

@@Andrew-ih7yh I was gonna say others but I didn't want to make my comment long

How poole get robbed and he wasn't even top 3 in voting 🤣🤣🤣

If you look closely, you can see him shooting webs directly at the defenders feet, making them absolutely helpless.

:)

@Sarah Don't T[A]P Me!! neither of them were top 3 . How do they deserve it

Darius garland deserves it

I’m tryna smoke whatever got you this high to say that

@@ismellmusty1186 jordan poole about to carry gsw to a championship. Then you'll be changing your tune.

@@ismellmusty1186 casual

Bane too

@@ismellmusty1186 don’t worry, your already pretty high.

He'll get MVP votes. And last year he was a hyped player with some spectacular highlights but not even an actual All Star yet. Not only Ja, but EVERY player who jumped from not-even yet an All Star to 2nd Team All NBA this year is going to have an MIP trophy this year. Seriously: EVERY player who in 2021-22 jumped from "never been an All Star before" to 2nd Team All NBA is going to get a Most Improved Player Award.

He should've gotten it, or at least gotten some votes, in 2020-21. THAT is when he made his leap from G League to 22 points per 36 minutes. This year his stats went up proportionally with his increased minutes.

Yes, but he was expected to made this jump, since he was already a star and drafted with the 2 pick Guys like Desmond Bane, Jordan Poole, Dejounte Murray all made huge leap from their previous year. People never thought they would reach this level and yet they did, so they deserve it way more than Ja

Oh My Goodness Ja!! 💯

You Spelled Ja Morant Name wrong.

Ta tout dit mec

Who

Does anfernee simons also have nickname ANT? Cuz anthony edwards does too

When you say Ja was "already good" last year you're confusing the hype and the spectacular highlights with his overall play. He wasn't even yet good enough to be an All Star reserve, and this year he'll probably be 2nd Team All NBA. Dude literally increased his PER from 16.7 to 24.4, and added about 8 points per 36 minutes. No one else improved as much as that. And other players got 1st place votes. No one was shortchanged.

@@abdulaziz8820 Ya,... and on that note why isn't Edwards the m.i.p.... ? holy crap he's taken over for the wolves ;) Blazers Ant had a BREAK out year, from obscurity to leading the team every night w/ 25 - 30, in dames absence... ; Both Ants should have had a place above JA, bcuz like i said, Morant was already play'n at a high level the last 2 yrs... ; )

@@asterisk911 Both ANTS from Blazers. as well as the Wolves,.. Improved A LOT more & were leading their teams , from a place of sitting on the bench & maybe getting 10 a night... ; Ja's a great & fun player to watch, but he's been play'n that way for 2 yrs... Simons & Edwards Both made a HUGE jump this year & deserved it more in my opinion. ; )

He honestly doesn’t deserve to be put in this conversation Instead he deserves to be put in the MVP conversation Poole (in my opinion) should’ve won this award The very fact he wasn’t the finalist is pure lunacy Dude went from nearly losing his job to, as Draymond Green said “Shooting like Steph Curry level”

If you watch the full video it shows him catching an alley-oop with his left and throwing it down on Marcus Smart
