Official NBA Race to the MVP Thread

Not if Westbrook is playing like a top 5-6 player in the league as well.

Shaq won it with Kobe on his team in 2000, and that's just one example. Very irrelevant statement.

Who do you think should win it?

Bad example here though, because Kobe wasn't a top 5-6 player overall in 2000. He was in 2001 though which is why Shaq didn't get it.

I'm glad you ask. He is the starting PG of the LAC and the best leader in basketball.

No, he won it in 2000 because it was his most dominant season, and one of the top 3 most dominant seasons in NBA history. The Lakers also won 64 games, they only won 56 the next year. Kobe at that time was certainly as good or better than Westbrook is now.

When the Sixers finished with the best record in the East* and Iverson led the league in scoring, that's what got him the nod.

In conclusion,

Dude make a real argument or stop. It's not a funny shtick. He has a slight case (for top 3) so go ahead and make it or shut up with this.

durant
lebron
carmelo

Shaq was so dominant that season. Their PPG differential was like over 7 PPG. It wasn't until the next season when the 2 had identical PPG averages as Kobe made a 6.0 PPG jump from that 2000 season, and they canceled each other out while Iverson went on to win the MVP. So actually, my argument is still strong and still stands.

What makes you guys think Melo has been more valuable to his team than Durant ?

What makes you think otherwise?

What makes you think otherwise?

Who says I do?

ooooo ..... deep stuff



Anyways, the reason Im asking is because it seems the best arguments against a quality post have been nothing more than deflections.

I understand the MVP doesn't go to the best player but being the best player sure does help. So knowing that it doesnt play a total role, shouldn't those who are arguing against Durant to state their case for why Melo is more "Valuable"?

its early but without melo we are not playoff team he is what makes our offense go the draws double teams leave guys open and the thunder are still without kevin durant i think durant will win it but if the knicks can get the one seed or win 58-60 games and melo is playing well he will have a case

I mean IMO Melo doesn't deserve the MVP just yet. I'd still take Durant and Lebron over him, but if he remains hot (which is the key) then I wouldn't be surprise if he wins it. We were projected to be a 5 seed 4th at best and here we are the best team in the eastern conference. Melo is playing superstar ball and is one of the main reason were at the top. His defense has improved (to an average defender) and his shot selection definitely improved as well as his 3pt shot.
