Chapter 584: The Gap in Coaching, Really_2

Last season's team, which had only 34 wins, saw a dramatic increase of 28 wins after Yu Fei joined.

The last player who brought such a significant improvement to a team but failed to win the MVP was Larry Bird in his rookie season.

Rookies make way for veterans; it's an unwritten rule of the League.

James wasn't a rookie, but his performance this season wasn't enough to surpass Yu Fei, nor could it reach the heights that would make the media abandon the GOAT.

Yu Fei not only increased the Clippers' wins by 28, but he also transformed them from a so-called "cursed team" into the most popular team. Coupled with his accumulated years of media relations, James's best performance in a decade had become known as the "best supporting act."

Yu Fei lifted his seventh MVP trophy of his career, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the player with the most MVPs in NBA history.
