“Stephen Curry deserves to be in the MVP conversation”: Draymond Green
Many analysts and fans are choosing Philly’s Joel Embiid or Denver’s Nikola Jokic as their MVP pick. While Curry is having a career-best season, he just hasn’t been amidst the MVP conversation.
Warriors forward Draymond Green believes that the GSW sharpshooter has earned his rights to be mentioned in the MVP debate. While picking Steph as his MVP pick, Draymond further added how the team needs to be inspired by their leader and help him win games. Green explained:
“S***, in my opinion, he’s the MVP. So for him to be having an MVP type of year, you can’t just go out there and let go of the rope. You’ve got to get your a** out there and f**king help all you can to help win games to make sure that he’s in that conversation, because he deserves to be in that conversation. So his approach, one thousand percent, has helped me in my approach.”
