This should be unanimous but some ass clown more than likely voted for Rubio.

Would have been interesting to see how it played out had Rubio stayed healthy. But still well deserved for Kyrie.

 

[elcheato]

Kyrie still would have won easily, unless votes would have been swayed away by Kyrie's late injuries.

ESPN would have started a Rubio for ROY agenda like D-Rose for MVP last year, and it would have been a wrap.

 

[elcheato]

When I said an ass clown more than likely vote for Rubio, I meant 3 different ones voted for Kawhi Leonard, Iman Shumpert and Kenneth Faried.

The only player that should have received a vote other than Kyrie is Rubio.
