Kevin Durant 2010/2011 MVP

[Lukor]

Is anyone else even in the conversation?

[TIMMYD!]

As long as LeBron is in the league, he's always going to be in the conversation.

[Dunc n Dave]

With Wade & Lebron teaming up and sharing shots: it's down to Durant, Kobe, or Carmelo. Kobe will probably defer more to Gasol and Bynum and I can't see Denver winning enough games to make a case for Melo so.... yeah, I'd go with Durant too.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dwight Howard will win MVP this year IMO..obviously these are just predictions that don't really mean anything, but I'll go with him..he has worked with Hakeem this Summer, he's going to have the ball more, Orlando will still have a great record, and Lebron has to share duties with Wade now..

Durant has become overrated IMO..

[oh crap]

Durant has become overrated IMO..

and your durant hate has become predictable, imo

[HarlemHeat37]

How is that Durant hate?..

I already said that I gained some respect for Durant a few weeks ago, seems like a good guy..

[Lukor]

As long as LeBron is in the league, he's always going to be in the conversation.

I would bet the farm that James doesn't win MVP next year. Not on Wade's team.

[ogait]

I think it's too soon for Durant. Also will be hard for him to get Mvp if his team doesn't get at the very least top 4 on the West.

Dwight Howard is actually a good possibility if he improves enough on offence next year.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

LeBron has a chance if his team wins 68+ games imo

[NASHville]

I do think this could Durant's break out year. The man has class and serious game.

[TIMMYD!]

I would bet the farm that James doesn't win MVP next year. Not on Wade's team.

I don't think he's going to win it either, I was just responding to your "who do you think is in the conversation?" question.

[lotr1trekkie]

Isn't Durant like 21.

[ogait]

Isn't Durant like 21.

Yes he is. That and the fact that everyone's eyes will be in Miami and the possibility of a Lakers vs Miami final is why I can´t see him stealing the spotlight with the team he currently has.

[TDMVPDPOY]

runners up or win it, thats how i see it

[ducks]

media does not like james right now

durant resigned with team
if thunder get in the playoffs it is going to be between him and melo
melo does not sign his extension he could be traded and no mvp for him

[ducks]

LeBron has a chance if his team wins 68+ games imo

heat will be lucky to win 60 next year

[My Fault]

LeBron has a chance if his team wins 68+ games imo

If anyone on that team wins MVP it will Batman not Robin. So Lebron no longer is in the running. :nope

I agree that Howard might win it next year as his offense should be much better.

[HarlemHeat37]

I will bet anything that Lebron will get more MVP consideration than Wade next year..

[Basketball Jones]

Durant will get an MVP without a doubt but I don't see it happening next year.

[redzero]

Chris Paul will win his second MVP to go along with the one he got in 2008.

[Chieflion]

Dwight Howard will win MVP, if his team wins 60 games. That would be my prediction. Wade and LeBron together would hurt their chances equally.

[4>0rings]

Wade and LeBron together would hurt their chances equally.This is true, plus the animosity to them leaves them out.

Kobe, Dwight, Kevin Durant

[Nathan89]

I think it's too soon for Durant. Also will be hard for him to get Mvp if his team doesn't get at the very least top 4 on the West.

Dwight Howard is actually a good possibility if he improves enough on offence next year.

Howard will always suck at offense. He will still score a good amount off of dunks though. His moves will always suck and he will never get any touch.

[4>0rings]

Are you ready to have your mind blown









A 3 way share of the MVP. LJ, DW, and CB.

[bigzak25]

I have no reason to go against the Durant prognostication....this award goes to the top scorers with the most wins, but TD will be the true under the radar MVP...the most valuable player without the stats, but with the wins and the hardware at the end of the day. You can beleee dat. He'll pass the torch this year like DRob did with him. True MVPs seek team glory, not individual.

[My Fault]

I will bet anything that Lebron will get more MVP consideration than Wade next year..

Of course you would. Your blinded by your man crush of Lebron to actually put any logical thought into it.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol @ this guy..what's your logical argument here?..

[My Fault]

:lol @ this guy..what's your logical argument here?..

You really think Lebron on Wade's team will still put up the same numbers he did? Between Wade, Lebron and Bosh there's one ball. Is it really that hard to see?

[HarlemHeat37]

Um, what does that have to do with my point?..

I said Lebron would get more MVP consideration than Wade, I never said he would put up the same numbers that he did in Cleveland, and I didn't pick him to win MVP..

He's going to get more consideration, because he's a better player..he was undoubtedly the best player in the NBA the last 2 years(at least to fans that can back it up), it doesn't just change now that he's wearing a different jersey..

[ToughActinTinactin]

Durant will get an MVP without a doubt but I don't see it happening next year.

He'll win one within 5 years

duncan is not the mvp of the spurs let alone the nba

ducks is giving Manu props?!

What happened man? You're usually the most butthurt Parker fan out there when Ginobili does well.

[Venti Quattro]

I think he'll win it next year. He has the best chance of winning the award.

[Jloyola]

Im going with a "healthy" Andrew Bynum.....

In order for that he needs his touches. Its Wade's team. Nuff said

[SomeCallMeTim]

The "Durant is the favorite for 2011 MVP" movement seems to be picking up steam. I've seen this in a few places.

I think it's premature because I actually think OKC may be in for a letdown. I think they're a team on the rise, but people may be expecting too much from them too soon. Seems like everyone already has them inked in at #2 in the West. They're like the new version of the Blazers.

Last year's team had almost zero health issues. I wouldn't expect that to remain the same this year though as a young team they are less prone to the problem. It's just reality in the NBA of not "if" on injuries but "when" and then "how bad" and "how long."

I seriously think it would be a good bet to make on the Spurs finishing as a higher seed than OKC. I think SA is underrated, OKC perhaps a bit overrated right now.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

I agree that Howard might win it next year as his offense should be much better.

I can see LeBron avereging somewhere around 24-27 ppg 6-8 rpg and 8-10 assists and if that'll happen & the Heats record will be nearly 70 wins then he will be MVP. But I still think KD will get it though

[bigzak25]

You can argue last year, but this thread is about the upcoming season.

With regard to a Manu vs TD worth to the Spurs thread, TD is 1 and Manu comes in as 1a in my book.

Great to see you give Manu props!

Are you preparing in case Tony jumps ship? :lol

[Killakobe81]

Won't happen unless he leads his team to at LEAST a #2 seed in the WCF which i don't think will happen.
