Stephen Curry is the back-to-back MVP winner and is the first player in the NBA to win by a unanimous vote. Previously, Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James each fell one vote short of that record. Now, former player and seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady says Curry’s unanimous win shows how weak the NBA is now.
“For him to be that first player to get that unanimously, I think it tells you how watered-down our league is,” McGrady said on ESPN’s The Jump. “Seriously. Because think of when M.J. played, Shaq, I mean those guys really played against top-notch competition, more superstars I think on more teams … but it’s well-deserved.”
McGrady is far from the first retired player to criticize the competition in the league in regards to the Golden State Warriors’ success. But as we’ve seen, they just use it as fuel to go harder so watch out Portland.
