Draymond Green has weighed in on whether winning an NBA MVP should carry more value than a championship. The four-time champion believes the comparison changes when discussing a player who leads his team to the title as its primary option.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one is trying to argue about the 11th or 12th man. But a first option, \u00e0 la Jalen Brunson, or MVP \u2014 that\u2019s the actual argument,\u201d Green said on The Draymond Green Show<\/strong>. He then cited Dirk Nowitzki, who won the 2007 MVP before leading Dallas to the 2011 championship.<\/p>\n \u201cI would love to know which one he loves most. One thing\u2019s for certain: people talk about Dirk\u2019s championship in 2011 far more than they talk about his MVP in \u201907.\u201d Green\u2019s position contrasts with Tracy McGrady\u2019s view that MVP carries greater individual weight because a championship depends on factors such as roster construction, coaching and injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Warriors veteran joined the MVP-versus-championship debate by pointing to Dirk Nowitzki\u2019s career<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":371846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-511855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"\n
