Reggie Miller: Cade Cunningham Should Absolutely Be In The MVP Conversation | 1/6/26
NBA on NBC lead game analyst Reggie Miller joins the Dan Patrick Show and discusses why Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham should be firmly in the NBA MVP discussions
So it's not about MVP it's about popularity contest. So get rid of MVP and call it a popularity reward
. Stupid
Cade needs to be slipped into the MVP conversation?
Cade is 6’8 he ain’t no 6’5 champ
Reggie! You said Cade is "almost a superstar" last week. Now he should be MVP? You're late to the party too!
Cade 6’8 and he definitely should be top 3 in the MVP convo.
Is Dan really saying “yea Cade is good but he plays in Detroit so who cares?” Idiotic and old outplayed take.
Is OKC a glamour town? Milwaukee?
Pistons are stacked, with nobody’s: the upside to Duren, Cade, Ausar, Ivey, Jenkins, Green, Sasser, etc = 🏀💪🏼
Cade MVP
Detroit wont get national attention? Whos fault is that? YOU ARE THE NATIONAL ATTENTION!
Props to Reggie for keeping it a stack about Cade breaking Jake Lavaria ankles!
Laker fans be trying to discredit that shit when the video evidence and replay shows Jake was no where near Ayton's foot.
Always been a huge fan of Reggie 💯 much respect from Detroit!!
Sports media obsessed with glamour cities is absolutely pathetic. Glamour cities don't have legitimate fan bases. The gritty blue collar cities do.
Dan Patrick – two first names code
Lol in the discussion isn't the question he shouls be LEADING the discussion!
If I have to hear the “glamour market” narrative one more time as if shai, jokic, and Giannis didn’t all win mvps in smaller markets than Detroit is ridiculous.
When the pistons begin having deep playoff runs people will pay attention I ensure that
Detroit is serious
Detroit might not be sexy to you outsiders but it is a whole lot sexier than Oklahoma City. Small franchise players can win MVP and its no secret the league would love to have an American born super star up there with Luka, Giannis, Joker, SGA and Wemby. It looked like Ant was that guy for awhile, and still could be, but Cade's game is just so solid, built for post season basketball and built to play at a high level well into his late 30s, Cade is going to win an MVP and a championship sooner than later.
The media is weird, of course Cade is in MVP conversations, he's BEEN in MVP conversations, He was the Eastern Conference player of the month in November, he's been consistently top 5 in the Kia MVP Ladder and his team has had the best record in the East for most of the season, not sure why the sports media feels like they need to walk on eggshells when talking about Cade, he just went through Luka, Donovan Mitchell, and Jalen Brunson in the past week, he's a top 3 guard in the league and the best American born player in the world right now..
Is Milwaukee a glamour city?
Media ignores Pistons so much that even Reggie can't even get Duren's name right when trying to praise the team hahahaha
Cade is 6'7
Slip him in???? 😅 He's the best point guard in the league. Wtf. And we NEVER gave a fuck about national attention. We care about winning a ring. GTFO out of here
No one cares about glamour. They are our glamour bougee ass commentators
The “MVPs shouldn’t flop” crowd cheers for Harden and LeBron 😂😂😂
Brunson scores 25 and 0 assists and Cade gets 27 and 13 assists 😢
motor cade and them boys got it rollin
Cade is Mr Smooth…..😊😊
Whenever the media talks about the Pistons today, why do they always feel the need to include the bad boys or going to work Pistons? It's so annoying.
The Pistons are actually a very fun team to watch. Super athletic, physical, and they run a lot. Plus, they have Cade.
Glamour and Detroit don't even belong in the same sentence. No matter WHAT sport you're talking about. Just all Grit
Market is such a dumb narrative when sga is in f”ing oklahoma😂 giannis in Milwaukee
The Pistons are exciting and fun. They are bringing back great basketball. They dont foul bait like 90% of the league. They are fastb, young, talented, and are extremely athletic. They play with HEART!
DEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLL
1:26 AND WE DONT GIVE A F*CK ABOUT WHAT YALL THINK
2:08 PUT SOME RESPEK ON MY MFIN TEAM NAME!
Reggie with that Indiana internet lol
Finally, an American-born league MVP. Let's go Cade.
Couldn’t name anyone else??? We got a team that is 15 deep. When we had 7 guys out including cade we went on a 13 game win streak during that time. We the deepest in the league. DEEEEEETROIIIIIT BASKEEETBALLLLL
I say this with no disrespect to the Pistons who are not Cade Cunningham, he does not have the same kind of support as many others that are in the MVP race. Cade is the ONE & ONLY star on this team. There is no player more valuable to their team than Cade is to the Pistons and they happen to be one of the best teams in the NBA. Pretty obvious he should be in the MVP conversation.
