Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2654727, member: 2458"] Chauncey got the MVP votes and the “credit” for helping that team “win”...he was coming off that great Detroit run that included a championship. I always felt that he got a little too much reactionary credit and it was more at the expense of Iverson. Like Iverson was holding them back because of his play style was the narrative and that he went to Detroit and completely flopped really put that narrative in overdrive. While Chauncey probably was a better fit for that team than Iverson, Carmelo was still the best player on the team - just like he was when Iverson was there. Interestingly, people tend to forget about/ignore how Chauncey didn’t get it done against the Lakers. Had he lived up to his 6th in MVP voting, Mr. Big Shot, the ultimate clutchest winner guard ever reputation that some were pushing at the time, the Nuggets win that series. [/QUOTE]
