sons it is becoming more pathetic and ridiculous year by year how the NBA and the sports media continues to change their tune on how they decide which player wins the atrocity that is the NBA MVP award.
Over the last several years all we have heard about is how "the best player on the best team each season should win the MVP award", but then for the 06-07 and 07-08 seasons the media suddenly changed their tune. In 06-07 they fell in love with the thought of a white player (Steve Nash) winning back to back MVP awards despite the fact that both LeBron and Dirk were the better players that year he won his second award. Then the very next season in 07-08 they again changed their tune and decided to campaign for Kobe Bryant to win it as a lifetime achievement award even though Chris Paul was head and shoulders better than him that season. Now in the last three seasons they have gone back to the ridiculous system of the best player on the best team wins whenever NONE of the last three winners were the most deserving of the award ...
Howard should have won over Rose last season
Durant should have won over LeBron in 09-10
Wade should have won over LeBron in 08-09
The bottom line is that the NBA is constantly changing their way of determining who wins this joke of an award so that it will benefit the league financially rather than awarding the most deserving player. Now this season it appears that again they and the rest of the sports media are changing their tune away from "the best player on the best team wins" ONLY because both San Antonio and Oklahoma City are smaller market teams with players who aren't as marketable for them AND because Rose missed a significant amount of games for Chicago. The sports media has already received their script and are beginning to campaign for LeBron to win the MVP this season despite the fact that Miami has only the 4th best record in the NBA.
