This Season's MVP?

[GroverTheClover]

I hate to say it, but I'm going with LeBron. He's not only dominating every statistical category, but he's also picked up his intensity on defense and is leading the *best* defense in the league. The Cavs are probably the last team I'd like to face all because of LeBron. 

[Mr October]

Lebron is carrying his team at an amazing level

[Big Ticket]

I am about 98% sure that LeBron will win it and 85% sure that he deserves it.

There is really no way someone can convince me that Wade deserves to win it this year, when LeBron only received 1 first place vote last year.  Wade's supporting cast is worse, granted, but LeBron's was nothing special and it received a major shakeup halfway through the year - something that they still didn't adjust to by the time the playoffs came around - but still finished with a better record than the Heat are currently on pace for.  As far as the "awesome stats" go for Wade this year... again... LeBron put up 30-8-7 last year... enough said.

I don't want LeBron to ever win it.

He's huge, jacked, and really athletic, and slightly above average at everything else. It's BS.

He's got great vision, wonderful hands, is a good passer, and a great finisher at the rim. All of those things are skills that being jacked, huge, and athletic have never given Kwame Brown.

My vote goes to Paul Pierce so far.

If that is true, I guess that everone who has ever had his size, stength, and athleticism, all at the same time, do not even APPROACH average in any of the categories Lebron is slightly above average at. So you are right.

A healthy Wade is the best player in the NBA.

[Rida]

A healthy Wade is the best player in the NBA.

If MVP criteria:

is best player on best team its Kobe
(This criteria was not followed for KG last year)

If its most Valubale player to a team its Wade

If its make his team mates better

Its wade, with strong consideration to CP3

If its most dominant player
Its Lebron

In my opinion it should be Wade, he is playing out of his mind

d-wade would have to do something spectacular, like 40+pts 10+ast for at least 5 strait games.  and if he can some how propel mia to the 3 seed, then hed probly win mvp.  but the league has a hard-on for the king and will more likely give him the award.  [dang], those nash mvps throw everything off.  kobe lebron or cp3 coulda won it last yr but kobe was 1st in line cuz the league owed him 1 (at least) for that 35ppg season (the 81 game).
but here in boston, we're not about mvp awards (unless the words 'NBA Finals' preceed it).
it will still be an interesting race coming down the stretch

He did average 40+ and 10+ in a 4 game span this month.

His 5 game stretch in this month so far.

38.2ppg, 11.4ast, 6.6rpg, 3.4stl, 1.2blk 59%FG 58%3FG

That an incredible 5 game span.

I've said on here many times before that the MVP is the most overrated award in all of sports.  Who cares who wins it?  Anything that's voted on before the playoffs mean nothing to me.  (Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash anyone?)


I am glad that Wade has made this move into the conversation.  Whatever can take away from LeBron and Kobe is good in my book.  I'm also a big Wade fan and glad to see him healthy and back on his game.  The way he plays the game is special and very fun to watch.  He has an exuberance and is very likable, things that Kobe and LeBron definitely aren't.


And how about Wade's last two 40 point games.  They came on 23 and 21 FGAs.  When was the last time Kobe did that?  January 2nd.
