Nikola Mirotic has been chosen the MVP of the Euroleague, but Some do not consider that the Barça power forward deserves it. It is the case of Tyrese Rice, ex of the azulgrana team and who is clear who has been for him the “most valuable player” of the course. And he is none other than Mike James.
“I think people often confuse MVP with the best player on the best team. That doesn’t mean he’s the most valuable every time. Barça would have reached the playoffs without Mirotic. Even maybe the Final Four. Monaco would not have fought to be in the top four without Mike and I don’t think there will be a debate,” the point guard said on social media.
