Kevin Durant says an MVP is more valuable than a championship ring, and his reasoning comes down to one thing: control. "There's one a year. I don't give a f*ck what nobody say, rings are incredible, it's a great team accomplishment but c'mon, everybody wants to be MVP." Then he explained the difference. "There's a lot out of your control with the rings, you got a little bit more control in your hands with a MVP." That's an interesting way to look at it. A championship requires everything to go right around you. Teammates, coaching, health, matchups, execution and sometimes even a little luck. An MVP is still influenced by plenty of factors, but your individual performance is much more directly in your hands. And KD has experienced both. He's been an MVP. He's been a champion. So he's not speaking from the outside looking in. But would you rather an MVP or championship ring? 🤔 (via Unguarded)
