of course Dame is out of the MVP running. CP and Phoenix are killing it. Best record in the league over the last like 40 games
It's ludicrous how invested people are in building up Dame and tearing down CJ. Some are so shameless in that endeavor, they lump the two together after games now to show how bad our back court's shooting is, using Dame's percentages to bring down CJ's.
I'm not sure that is a fair comparison. Dame has earned a lot of credit & is justified in fans giving him patience. CJ has contributed, but he hasn't carried the load.
CJ many times over the years has stepped up when Dame was sidelined for a time. In fact a number of players have stepped up when he's been out over the years.
