Duncan should be a perennial mvp candidate but it seems too many people take what he does for granted.
I hope he can.
I wish he could.
If Duncan could help the spurs from the 8th seed climbs to the 2nd or 3rd seed in western conference, and thanks for the absences of Manu and Tony, I think that it's a possibility that Duncan would get the season MVP.(24+12+3)
Is it just my wishful thinking?

yeah, and another barrier could be, that he allready has won it, while others like lebron and paul are hard pressed to win their first
and nearly every year the reason someone didnt win it is, that the team didnt finish wit a top notch place and I doubt we will be top4 in the west
he would deserve it, but there are others that are too.
Timmy is still a Top 3, perhaps Top 1 player in the league, but I can't see anybody beating out LeBron for MVP this season.
Right now he deserves the MVP more than any other player.Just take a look to our roster and we are 3-2 without Manu and Parker.
his rebs and blocks are down this season
the trophy has lebron over it....its his to lose.....so TD will have to be godmode from here on
Yep...unfortunately I agree.
The media is all over Lebron and Chris Paul. Don't get wrong...they are both terrific players.
But Tim would have average 20/20 for the rest of the season for him to get consideration.
I'm as big of a Duncan fan as any, but it's LeBron's to lose. Especially because Duncan's numbers will take a big hit once TP and Manu are both playing again.
If Cleveland, N.O. and the Lakers all tank, then Duncan stands a chance.
Nah, Tony and Manu will come back and his numbers will go down. even if he carried the Spurs to a playoff spot by himself they might not give it to him..
I'd love to see him get another but those days are gone.
My hope is to see him raise another Final's MVP.
If we win another Finals this year there is no doubt the MVP honors are going to Matt Bonner with close consideration going to Jacque Vaughn and Michael Finley too.
It's been long enough since Tim Duncan won a league MVP, and since those years his "stats" have gone down a bit from when he dominated his way to two MVPs. So I think couple that with the fact that the league forgets about Tim Duncan because he plays in San Antonio and he's got a decent shot at winning it again. If Parker and Ginobili come back and the Spurs are on top of the division by a few games don't think people won't be talking MVP for Tim Duncan.
Just like Kurt Warner in the NFL right now is getting some MVP talk even though his last MVP was in 1999.
are you kidding? The league is too busy making eyes at LeBron to even see anyone else.
Yes but he won't.
He (or Shaq) have been the real MVPs of the entire last decade (as shown by their handful of finals MVPs and Duncan should be in running this year.
MVP is a joke most years.
This question comes up every year. I think when we stop asking it is when we need to worry.
Yes unfortunately
Hopefully not. That'd mean he carried the Spurs all season. Hopefully he can start deferring once the team is healthy and save energy for the playoffs.Can Duncan get the season MVP of the year?
the season MVP...
Duncan MVP of the 2009 Finals.
finals MVP is the key here, and that's all I care about..more importantly, that's probably Tim's focus as well, as it should be..
I want him to get another Final's MVP too but I would bet Duncan's focus is on the Championship trophy, not the individual award. He's never been about himself.
Actually, I'm sure his focus is winning one game at a time at the moment, the end goal being the le.
I'd like Manu to get one, and for Timmy to get one more.
ya obviously, I meant it as the le..
Duncan winning the regular season MVP would be a bad thing. It would mean that he had to amass huge stats because he didn't have help.
Come on man, to be honest.
Don't you guys think that regular season MVP is a big honor to a player?
Why do you guys love the spurs? because the spurs is a good team and won several les as well as "honor"
Some people mentioned and said that Duncan should focus on the playoffs and finals MVP whatsoever, but in case the spurs can't win the championship this year, i strongly think that season MVP is the only one thing for Duncan to chase for himself and the spurs fans.
