On August 12, Beijing time, Skip Bayless, a well-known Zhan Hei ball commentator, complained on social media about James being elected Olympic MVP, believing that Curry is a player who deserves this award even more. Many fans lamented that although Skip arrived late, of course they would not let go of such an opportunity to attack James.
Skip wrote on social media: "After the United States men's basketball team won the gold, I posted a video of Stephen (Curry) hitting nine three-pointers against Serbia and eight three-pointers against France (including four in the fourth quarter), and I think he should be able to beat LeBron (James) to win the MVP." It's clearly a shame for LeBron to receive this award. Is someone rigging? Tell me I was wrong. ”
"We can't win Serbia without Stephen Curry. Without Stephen Curry, we couldn't beat France. In the semifinals and finals, Curry made 17-of-26 three-pointers, turning those games into three-point contests. I predicted that he would be our most important player. He should obviously be the most valuable. ”
After James was selected by FIBA as the MVP of the Olympic men's basketball team, it quickly caused heated discussions. At that time, there was an opinion like Skip that Curry should be elected MVP, but there were also many people who supported James. Both of the Lakers' team reporters also touched on the topic on social media.
Trevor Lane wrote: "James was named FIBA's MVP of the men's basketball team, and some would argue that Curry deserved the award more because of his performance in the last two games, but James played well in all games. "Curry pushed the game in the final moments and James played great from the start, and that's the difference," Ward wrote. ”
In this Olympics, James averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, and Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Both were named to the Olympic Team of the Year for a while. Who do you think should be the MVP, James or Curry? Feel free to leave a message to express your opinions.
