Curry didn't need to play well in the first 4 games. He allowed others to shine but he saved the best for the last 2 games when it mattered most. If he didn't play the way he did vs. Serbia, USA will not reach the finals.
The problem is actually that they are just awful ppl. One trait you'll always find in awful ppl is hypocrisy. They understand context. That's why they'll hold it against Curry when they bring up Iggy and KD winning FMVP for GS. Curry did the most in the finals both of those years. But Iggy and KD won FMVP for stepping up in key moments. The context matters if it goes against Curry. It doesn't matter if it goes against LeBron.
@@BruvahSulaimanumm ib 2018 and 17 KD did more than Steph majority of the games. As far as 15, Iggy got it the same reason Kawhi got it. So it was consistent
There shouldn't be an MVP because the Olympics is not just about the game of basketball. That's just one of many tournaments. The decathlon would be the MVP event.
No wonder why all stars like Demar Derozan, Paul George, etc don’t want to play with LeBron because when they win LeBron gets all the credit, but when they lose they get all of the blame.
I agree . Lebron gets all the credit when the team wins when the team loses they blame teammates. It doesn’t make sense. That’s why as lakers fan I’m tired of having Lebron on our team even with Bronny. I expect the lakers to rebuild this year.
LeBron 4th Quarter Turnover Turnover Missed Shot Dunk (because didnt run back on defense) Turnover Shooting Foul Turnover It's NOT ONLY that Curry was the hero. It's ALSO THAT LeBron sucking so bad in the 4th is WHY HE NEEDED TO BE
Made sure player empowerment would happen so less competition overall would occur and robbed a few players of awards throughout his career based on status than actual play
they must have changed the ruling because in the 2020 Olympics (held in 2021) KD won MVP and in pool play he was avg at best. The first two games he scored 10 points twice. the last game against the Czech republic he scored 23 points. In the meal round to win the gold medal he had 29 23 and 29 points to win MVP. If they're saying the MVP voting was before the semi-finals then KD wouldn't have been a legit candidate. But KD was the MVP of that Olympics
Shouldn't be voting until the tournament is over. Lebron had a ounce of class he give it to Curry knowing the voted to early. That would do more for his perishes legacy he is so weird about then a Trophy that the World knows he did not deserve. Really Lebron give it to him, you gain so many fans that don't watch basketball. Just good PR advice going to closed ears.

This is typical LeBron fans always accusing people of hating they clearly can’t be objective. They’re too biased. The reality is Steph Curry should’ve gotten the MVP for the Olympics. And it’s pretty obvious that LeBron had some influence on the MVP voting. He probably paid off the higher ups to give them the MVP award because LeBron’s narcissism can’t handle the fact that someone could get an MVP over him.
“He probably paid off the higher ups to give him MVP award because lebron narcissism can’t handle the fact that someone could get MVP over him.” Do you not see how ironic that statement is after commenting that😂?
The worst thing to happen to Steph’s career is the Choking One, Lebronze James. Lebron and Klutch has made sure that Steph will get no shine as long as Lebron is still an active player in the league.
The example you just gave about Steph having those 3 good games and Durant only had that clutch shot, and Durant got the MVP. While in this Olympics the same thing happened, apparently LeBron James had the stats, Steph had the clutch games but they "gave" the MVP to LeBron James. That "glaringly" PROVES that Nike and the Nike "boys" LeBron James and Kevin Durant, get the awards every time, no matter what. More food for thought, ALL the players for Olympic USA men's basketball team are under signed contracts TO Nike. All of them except Steph Curry,Ant, and Joel Embiid. Ant was relegated to the bench. And Steph Curry was minimized and so was Embiid. Embiid was down right almost harassed this whole tournament.
this olympic mvp situation also raises question for me is that how deep Bron is connected to have so much power and control over this whole worldwide entertainment business
Guys like Wright are only saying this about Steph in order to maintain what very little credibility they still hold onto. And whatever team James is on, it's always about ONE guy. And anyone who isn't bitten by the James cognitive dissonance bug, knows this FULL well. #WeDoneWithLeBron Edit: That David Ferry shout out was spot on. Classic stuff. 😆😆
From RayGun making it to the Olympics and Lebron winning MVP when Curry deserved it more, just exposed how pathetic Olympic oversight is for everything that isn't Track and Field.
Joker led all players in points, rebounds, assists and efficiency but he wasn’t even mentioned for MVP consideration. Who was the most valuable to their teams success… Lebron or Joker? The dismal of Jokers performance throughout the tournament is a byproduct of Klutch Sports stranglehold over the media. Joker was best player in the Olympics and is arguably the best player in the NBA and no one in sports media even talks about it.
Everyone talks about how Joker is the best player in the world. The media has and always will be stupid. Still think it's fair to give tournament mvp to the team that won the tournament. LeBron definately ain't deserve mvp tho
@@riotordiet9154 even from the exhibition matches it was pretty much a guranteed USA win lol. Sure voting early is bad but the one thing you could make a sure bet on was USA winning gold
“An Olympic mvp shouldn’t exist”… I fully agree! The Olympics are different than the nba. It’s supposed to be about the country not one individual player.
This the reason all these stars dont want to play with lebron anymore in the regular season. They all realized when they win, its only because of lebron. When they lose, its everybody else fault and the media picks a scapegoat.
Here's a genuine question: *Why does anyone care about who they give awards like this to* ? It's not like any fan is incapable of thinking for him or herself and disagreeing. These awards are meaningless... UNLESS you give the NBA authority over your own opinions.
One day, years from now, folks would tell the truth. For now, let their bias speak for them. MJ, KOBE, STEPH.. that's it. Every other person comes after.
Jokic was clearly the MVP. First player in history to lead the Olympic tournament in total points, rebounds and assists and took a Serbian team to a medal after a game v the US when Serbia was the better team. It took an unconscious shooting performance by Curry and some very questionable officiating for the US to survive. It was clear the officials weren't going to let the US miss the gold medal game because it would have completely tanked the ratings. Curry played poorly through most of the tournament until those last two games.
I bet as soon as Lebron retires, a lot of these garbage awards are going to go away, even the in-season tourney. All of this mess is being done to prop him up to a place he doesn't belong. Well, hate to tell ya Bronites, but this dude is a FRAUD and always has been! The minute he abandoned Cleveland for his AAU Heat team, he lost all respect and been trying to win it back ever since. Too bad 4-6 can't do that. Lebron = Participation Award King!!
So they gaurenteed no one but leflop could get mvp. And with his connections he knew only the first 4 games counted. Which is probably why he stopped going all out in the medal games.
They probably back tracking after they saw no one came out to celebrate the gold for the team. But what Jokic got? Bruh...that dude can run his entire country right now if he wanted to! 😂😂
The voting STARTED 2 days before the semis which means they were still voting during the finals. There has to be a window where the voting happens 2 days before the semis is only 4 days before the finals. There is no need to implicate that the voters voted 2 days before the semis that is dumb.
KD and Steph at least should've been co-MVP. Steph was better in 3/4 games. You have to analyze a series game for game because a historically good or bad game can ruin your stats or improve you stats. For example KD vs Boston in 2022 was had 23, 27, and 16 thw first three games which is an average of 22ppg. But in Game 4 he had 39 points and his average went from 22 to 26.
7:25 - "So, the MVP voting is a little funny...." No, It was incompetently handled. Period. Voting for the tournament MVP began _before_ the semifinal game was even played?! Nuts.
Bron haters are hilarious if it was lebron who only showed up for the last 2 games and was a walking brick the other 4 there’s no way y’all would be crying about him not getting mvp
@@jjnthegoat2200 exactly you’d think cause we have 3 of the greatest players of the 2010s maybe everyone can appreciate greatness but they just cry about lebron deservingly so winning mvp
Curry showed up when he was needed most. That's value. Who cares if he's not shooting well in games that we're blowing the other team out of the water regardless. On the other hand, those 2 games he did show up in kept the USA from 1) playing for a bronze medal and 2) then kept France from making a potential comeback victory when all the momentum was on their side (got within 3, home crowd, Wemby going off). That's VALUE. Not scoring 30 when it's not needed, it's scoring in the clutch WHEN IT'S DESPERATELY NEEDED. That's VALUABLE. That's an MVP
Let it go guys. Lebron was the MVP. He was consistent great trhoughout the whole tournament and their games. Curry did an amazing job during the last two games.
The person who had the most rebounds, the most assists and finished four points behind the top scorer deserves the MVP award. It wasn't an award for the last game or two, but the entire Olympics. The clear leader of the team was Lebron. Curry and Durant had their bright spots with their shooting and deserve credit for what they did, but Lebron was clearly the most efficient player.
Curry is not the MVP , yall literally going off 2 games when it was a 6 game and he playing good 2 games which he was amazing but don’t change the first 4 hell nah . I would say kd over curry I would say jokic is the MVP over both . Jokic then lebron , Lebron got the nod because his team won . Curry was never the mvp , he wasn’t even in top 10 when they released the odd after them first 4 games dude was ass . SAS is just like all you guy who saying 2 out 6 games is good enough . That mean he played good 33 percent of the time .
Steph Curry is definiately a fun player to watch and a tough opponent to beat. Your team can be doing everything right and this dude will shoot four 3 pointers in a row. What are you supposed to do?! The dude hit 4 threes. That must've felt hopeless as.. the opposition. We wont forget about this game for a while.
If Olympics want to do an MVP then pick 5 stats or advanced statistics and whoever leads wins MVP. Don't do random people voting. This is like they took regular season into account when handing out finals MVP but let the fans decide. It's basically a popularity contest at that point.
Steph is the definition of unselfish. Steph was perfectly fine just being an offball threat and letting all other team usa players eat in a no pressure situation up 20. But when team usa back against the wall down 10. Steph dominates when no one elae would. Same story happened in 2008 when kobe says enough is enough give me the ball. 2012 KD was the alpha.
Funny how when Steph shows you a clutch performance, people would talk about "oh he didn't show up until the last 2 games". If Steph did balled out the first couple of games and didn't play well on the last two, the narrative would be is that "Steph is not clutch" or "he is good but didn't show up when you need him the most in the clutch". I ain't even mad that Steph ain't the mvp. Steph would be criticized no matter the outcome, but he is the reason why this olympics is memorable and legendary, that's something no one can argue.
Curry’s whole career been about him getting robbed of accolades and I consider that when weighing him against other players. He should have 3 finals mvps, and 1 Olympic mvp. He’s in the GOAT conversation, especially with how he did it. Top 5 player regardless.
I can't believe anyone would say otherwise that Stephen Curry was definitely the MVP of the Olympics. In the finals, if Steph wasn't there, they probably would have lost.
When curry never steph up, lbj has another bronze....the media trying to lift lbj up so he can level MJ in Goat convo, but seems ungrateful to the true hero....
Jokic was the real MVP and no I'm not a fan it's just reality. If they had to give it to somebody on team USA it should have 100% been Steph Curry. Why do I keep having to resubscribe to your channel. It's honestly anyone who criticizes LeBron I go to their channel and I have to resubscribe every single time.
If Curry, Durant, Tatum or Booker would have played the same minutes LeBron played in every game anyone of them could have been the MVP but it was designed for only LeBron to win it

The problem is that LeBron fans don't watch the games. They look at stats and never look at context or their effect on winning.
The problem is actually that they are just awful ppl. One trait you'll always find in awful ppl is hypocrisy.
They understand context. That's why they'll hold it against Curry when they bring up Iggy and KD winning FMVP for GS. Curry did the most in the finals both of those years. But Iggy and KD won FMVP for stepping up in key moments.
The context matters if it goes against Curry. It doesn't matter if it goes against LeBron.

There shouldn't be an MVP because the Olympics is not just about the game of basketball. That's just one of many tournaments. The decathlon would be the MVP event.
No wonder why all stars like Demar Derozan, Paul George, etc don’t want to play with LeBron because when they win LeBron gets all the credit, but when they lose they get all of the blame.
I agree . Lebron gets all the credit when the team wins when the team loses they blame teammates. It doesn’t make sense. That’s why as lakers fan I’m tired of having Lebron on our team even with Bronny. I expect the lakers to rebuild this year.

they must have changed the ruling because in the 2020 Olympics (held in 2021) KD won MVP and in pool play he was avg at best. The first two games he scored 10 points twice. the last game against the Czech republic he scored 23 points. In the meal round to win the gold medal he had 29 23 and 29 points to win MVP. If they're saying the MVP voting was before the semi-finals then KD wouldn't have been a legit candidate. But KD was the MVP of that Olympics
Shouldn't be voting until the tournament is over. Lebron had a ounce of class he give it to Curry knowing the voted to early. That would do more for his perishes legacy he is so weird about then a Trophy that the World knows he did not deserve. Really Lebron give it to him, you gain so many fans that don't watch basketball.

dont be fooled by the media guys, they only deflecting your attention to curry because they know deep down the mvp was jokic
The example you just gave about Steph having those 3 good games and Durant only had that clutch shot, and Durant got the MVP. While in this Olympics the same thing happened, apparently LeBron James had the stats, Steph had the clutch games but they "gave" the MVP to LeBron James.
That "glaringly" PROVES that Nike and the Nike "boys" LeBron James and Kevin Durant, get the awards every time, no matter what.
More food for thought, ALL the players for Olympic USA men's basketball team are under signed contracts TO Nike.
All of them except Steph Curry,Ant, and Joel Embiid. Ant was relegated to the bench. And Steph Curry was minimized and so was Embiid. Embiid was down right almost harassed this whole tournament.
this olympic mvp situation also raises question for me is that how deep Bron is connected to have so much power and control over this whole worldwide entertainment business
Illuminati
Guys like Wright are only saying this about Steph in order to maintain what very little credibility they still hold onto.
And whatever team James is on, it's always about ONE guy. And anyone who isn't bitten by the James cognitive dissonance bug, knows this FULL well.

From RayGun making it to the Olympics and Lebron winning MVP when Curry deserved it more, just exposed how pathetic Olympic oversight is for everything that isn't Track and Field.
Without KD and Steph, the USA Olympic team wouldn't have earned silver or gold. Blames played a lot more minutes than he should have.
Without Steph they might not get bronze.

Joker led all players in points, rebounds, assists and efficiency but he wasn’t even mentioned for MVP consideration.
Who was the most valuable to their teams success… Lebron or Joker?
The dismal of Jokers performance throughout the tournament is a byproduct of Klutch Sports stranglehold over the media.
Joker was best player in the Olympics and is arguably the best player in the NBA and no one in sports media even talks about it.
Everyone talks about how Joker is the best player in the world. The media has and always will be stupid.
Still think it's fair to give tournament mvp to the team that won the tournament.

This the reason all these stars dont want to play with lebron anymore in the regular season. They all realized when they win, its only because of lebron. When they lose, its everybody else fault and the media picks a scapegoat.
Here's a genuine question: *Why does anyone care about who they give awards like this to* ?
It's not like any fan is incapable of thinking for him or herself and disagreeing. These awards are meaningless... UNLESS you give the NBA authority over your own opinions.
2018 Finals MVP (NIKE), 2024 Olympic MVP (NIKE).....😂 This shit is meanngless.
One day, years from now, folks would tell the truth. For now, let their bias speak for them. MJ, KOBE, STEPH.. that's it.
Every other person comes after.
En that case Nikola should have won
Jokic was clearly the MVP. First player in history to lead the Olympic tournament in total points, rebounds and assists and took a Serbian team to a medal after a game v the US when Serbia was the better team. It took an unconscious shooting performance by Curry and some very questionable officiating for the US to survive. It was clear the officials weren't going to let the US miss the gold medal game because it would have completely tanked the ratings. Curry played poorly through most of the tournament until those last two games.
I bet as soon as Lebron retires, a lot of these garbage awards are going to go away, even the in-season tourney. All of this mess is being done to prop him up to a place he doesn't belong.
Well, hate to tell ya Bronites, but this dude is a FRAUD and always has been! The minute he abandoned Cleveland for his AAU Heat team, he lost all respect and been trying to win it back ever since. Too bad 4-6 can't do that.

KD and Steph at least should've been co-MVP. Steph was better in 3/4 games. You have to analyze a series game for game because a historically good or bad game can ruin your stats or improve you stats. For example KD vs Boston in 2022 was had 23, 27, and 16 thw first three games which is an average of 22ppg. But in Game 4 he had 39 points and his average went from 22 to 26.

Curry showed up when he was needed most. That's value. Who cares if he's not shooting well in games that we're blowing the other team out of the water regardless.
On the other hand, those 2 games he did show up in kept the USA from 1) playing for a bronze medal and 2) then kept France from making a potential comeback victory when all the momentum was on their side (got within 3, home crowd, Wemby going off).
That's VALUE. Not scoring 30 when it's not needed, it's scoring in the clutch WHEN IT'S DESPERATELY NEEDED. That's VALUABLE. That's an MVP
Curry is a Bad Man all the time. Congratulations team USA Winning Gold medals this year 2024.
Let it go guys. Lebron was the MVP. He was consistent great trhoughout the whole tournament and their games. Curry did an amazing job during the last two games.
The person who had the most rebounds, the most assists and finished four points behind the top scorer deserves the MVP award. It wasn't an award for the last game or two, but the entire Olympics. The clear leader of the team was Lebron. Curry and Durant had their bright spots with their shooting and deserve credit for what they did, but Lebron was clearly the most efficient player.
Curry is not the MVP , yall literally going off 2 games when it was a 6 game and he playing good 2 games which he was amazing but don’t change the first 4 hell nah . I would say kd over curry
I would say jokic is the MVP over both .

Steph was perfectly fine just being an offball threat and letting all other team usa players eat in a no pressure situation up 20.
But when team usa back against the wall down 10. Steph dominates when no one elae would.

I said from the beginning Steph Curry is the person we need to fear the most.🇷🇸
Funny how when Steph shows you a clutch performance, people would talk about "oh he didn't show up until the last 2 games". If Steph did balled out the first couple of games and didn't play well on the last two, the narrative would be is that "Steph is not clutch" or "he is good but didn't show up when you need him the most in the clutch". I ain't even mad that Steph ain't the mvp. Steph would be criticized no matter the outcome, but he is the reason why this olympics is memorable and legendary, that's something no one can argue.
Curry’s whole career been about him getting robbed of accolades and I consider that when weighing him against other players. He should have 3 finals mvps, and 1 Olympic mvp. He’s in the GOAT conversation, especially with how he did it. Top 5 player regardless.
They took that Final MVP 2015 from him too, they gave it to Iggy off the bench. Iggy!
I can't believe anyone would say otherwise that Stephen Curry was definitely the MVP of the Olympics. In the finals, if Steph wasn't there, they probably would have lost.
