Official Petition: Chant "MVP" when Mario is in the game.

[mrhonline]

Spread the word as best you know how, 'Squawkers.

Let's get this one done.

[MVP23]

I think you spelled MArvin wrong. Its M-A-R-V-I-N.

[mrhonline]

Nah. Let's do this for Rio.

[Supporter]

Why?

[mrhonline]

I wanna see how much influence the 'Squawk has.

This would be a joke if we did this, you should only do this for Joe as for now.

[tonegully]

how about send Mario back to the D league. that would be an awesome chant.

The Hawks are too cheap to pay for a veteran guy, and that's the only reason mario is even on the team.. So he should be happy he even gets to sit on the bench...

How about JSmoove? He has the best chance to win an MVP award down the line.

Yeah him and Horford but we are talking about this season. Only Joe could qualify for that.

A veteran guy would cost exactly the same as Rio, dude. Brush up your CBA.

I am getting so SICK of the unfounded Joe love on this board. The Hawks have played 61 ball games this year. Joe Johnson has shot under 40% 16 times. That means he's a failure for his team 26.2 % of the time. An MVP isn't an absolute failure 26% of the time. Joe is a better than average volume scorer who holds the ball way too much and plays an extraordinary amount of minutes.

Little recognized, but you must still consider this:

Warrior guard was having his way with ALL the Hawks. He was hitting all kinds of shots.

Mario came in and played him some VERY CLOSE defense, threw him out of rythm and

he was never the same for the rest of the night.

This drew very little notice from anyone. Mario was just doing what he always does.

Play sticky defense. Sure, he drew some quick fouls. But, while he was doing this

he was stopping the red hot guard from scoring, except from the line.

Just very brief appearance, then back to the bench. Not many even noticed. So what.

Mario did his job. He did something that no other Hawk had been capable of doing.

When handing out all those "Atta Boy" rewards to all the other Hawks, just remember.

Mario earmed his "Atta Boy" as much as anyone else. He did his job. That's all.

The "MVP" chant in basketball is the worst chant in any sport.. of all time. :shake_puter:

Sorry for this stupid thread, guys. I shouldn't have been on the board last night. Still can't believe it's all typed correctly.
