I usually like Kirk but this was pathetic buddy-buddy interview, he didn’t asked him any real question like why Luka is held standards to other candidates

Kirk is also friends with Matt Moore, who’s a complete moron.

You usually like Kirk? Lol

Kirk is a perpetual doomer who is always looking for opportunities to turn on the team, leading him to countless bad takes. Never seen a “fan” like him who sounds excited after every loss and dejected after every win. I don’t think he does it on purpose, he just has a downer personality.

It should be noted that Tim Bontemps only asks people what they think in his straw poll. He doesn’t just proclaim who will be the MVP. The real question is why do a lot of journalists not pick Luka as MVP? This can range from a number of reasons:
1. Jokic is a great player who has had a great season, he will pick up votes from 2 groups of journalists -> those that vote off analytics and those that vote off who is the perceived best player as he holds the title belt.
2. Some journalists do not like Luka due to a number of things -> (perception of) whining, ball dominant nature (not seen as attractive as zipping the ball around the team), his lack of engagement with the media (Embiid gets a big bump from this), missing the playoffs last year (very unfair but people are human).
3. There are some more soft reasons such as Kyrie his running mate has a lot of enemies in the media. I think a lot of people see him as definitely winning in the future so they urge against him as “his time will come”, and just a general lack of viewing as before the trade deadline the Mavs were not a great team for analysis, if they made their 3s they won.
4. A lot of people also give less credence to the end of the season as historically teams have coasted/records are obscured by tanking teams, although the play-in has now made this belief less valid.
Finally it should be noted that reputation generally lags reality by 6 months and 6 months ago, Luka was in the low-point of his career (still not very low). I’m not suggesting I believe this stuff to be true but I believe these are commonly held beliefs about Luka. Its up to him to change peoples perceptions in the playoffs where everyone is watching.

I cannot stand Kirk… he has always been awful. Bontemps kills the Mavs as much as anyone and I wouldn’t have him on any shows regarding the Mavs.

Man yall are so weird sometimes
I have a job for a living as a Salesforce admin. I had an interview scheduled and he cancelled. So I went back to work. Then, Bontemps tells me he can make time, so I drop what I’m doing and go live. The audio is ass because I fucking forgot to plug in my mic like a moron. Anyway, we talk, we are friends. I don’t ask my friend why he doesn’t worship at Luka’s alter. The show ends.
Some of you talk about me or Dalton and other half ass media like we aren’t people. It’s fucking disgusting and you shit heels should think a little harder. I don’t need you to like me or the work. But we do MAKE the stuff you end up talking about. You don’t hate me or love me; you love or hate my opinions. You don’t know me lol.
Can we all just relax a little? Would you rather have nothing to bitch about and just the gurgling team content that only tells you how good the Mavs are?
I love this team. I spend more time on it than any of you; I promise you that and the ROI (meaning any income) isn’t good. It’s because I love the team and the community.
Lighten up please, this should be a fucking awesome time of year. Go Mavs.
