Durant isn't doing enough this year compared to Lebron, the only reason I won't go to Durant is because people are dumb. His numbers this year are insane and his team is a fav to win it all.

The MVP award is so much about storyline and not much about stats. Durant will get it because it's his "turn" to get it. Lebron is already a MVP winner and he knows he kissed his chances at another MVP award goodbye as soon as he agreed to join forces with Bosh/Wade in south beach.

If the Clippers suddenly start winning a lot, CP3 might have a chance at it. But it's Durants to lose right now.

yea, the MVP is pretty much a farce.


The NBA is so individually driven, that the best player is almost always truly the MVP.

No one with half a brain would say Lebron isn't the best player in the NBA.

Best regular season player, surely. I don't think MVP is a farce, it's just not awarded based on who the best player is and it never was awarded based on that. It's awarded based on who the best player is on the best regular season team. That was D.Rose last year. I mean, Steve Nash won it a couple times, he was never the best player in the league. Nobody is crying about how Steve Nash is the weakest MVP winner ever.

I'm really not a fan Chris Paul as he's injured so much and honestly he's not THAT good. I'd take other point guards before Paul let alone players. It will probably go to Durant because it's his turn but he doesn't deserve it. He deserved it more last year then this (stats down as he has players doing more). Just like Rose doesn't deserve it this year either.


Right now it's Lebron or even Kobe (if they could win any games)

In 2008 Chris Paul deserved the MVP. When he's healthy, Paul is arguably the best PG in the game, at least statistically. When healthy he has a case for being better than even Lebron imo.

But yeah, it's not 2008 anymore. Paul is still awesome but he's not 2008 Paul any more.

Steve Nash brought Assists back in to the spotlight and was the best player on arguably the best regular season team. You can argue that without Nash's MVP wins are a major reason why Rose won it last year. If the Lakers weren't so terrible during those years Nash wouldn't have won at all.

It is a farce.

Like you said, Lebron was essentially disqualified as the MVP because he is on a great team. The reality, he was the driving force that turned a 48 win team into a 72 win team.

MVP doesn't even matter, who cares. Finals MVP is much more important.

Lebron already won the MVP, he really doesn't care. He just wants a ring now.
