Dwayne Wade FG Attemps per game: 21.7
Lebron James FG Attemps per game: 19.1
I can't believe these guys are considered in the top five in the MVP race. This is more of like who gives ESPN the most highlight reels, rather than who actually is valuable to their team and makes everyone around them better.
Kobe Bryant...last I remembered, he has failed in his last two NBA Finals trips, wanted Andrew Bynum to be traded until Pau Gasol showed up and saved his sinking Lakers, and pretty much didn't do to carry his team to greatness from Shaq's departure to Gasol's arrival. His Lakers teams won 34, 45, and 42 games until Gasol arrived. Hmm, something looks fishy here...if the Lakers weren't doing anything until Gasol arrived, then that means Gasol should be the MVP, not Kobe. So if anything, to call Kobe an MVP candidate is a slap in the face to Pau Gasol. Because without Gasol, the Lakers are , right? Kobe is not in the MVP race nor is Gasol, but if anyone on the Lakers deserves the MVP, it's Gasol.
Chris Paul has a solid team, but is still a joke player who flops too much and choked last year when they had homecourt advantage. 38 wins and then 39 wins in Chris Paul's two first seasons..I don't know, that doesn't sound like an MVP type of player. MVP's make their team better, not keep them the same. He gets a lot of credit for his assists, but assists are some of the most misleading stats....they pretty much mean you pass the ball a lot. Wow it must be so hard to see who's closest to the hoop and then pass it to them to get a bull assist.
Dwight Howard...not much to be said here other than this guy is a waste of space in the NBA. 36, 36, and 40 wins for Orlando in his first three seasons. Again, not an MVP type player. I believe he even got swept two years in a row in the playoffs. Then he put on a Superman cape and tossed the ball through the hoop, not reaching the rim with his hands, and called it a dunk. That slam dunk award is the only award he'll be getting in his career. Easily the worst #1 draft pick in the history of the league.
LeBron James..just because he wears 23 doesn't mean he's the next MJ nor does it makes his abilities similar to MJ's. Last I remember, he choked in his Finals appearance. Yeah, good going there. That Finals was also the lowest rated Finals in NBA history, shows you how many people actually care to watch the LeBron trash that ESPN throws at us every week. His high scoring comes from the fact that he's a ballhog and takes the most shots. If you take more shots, you make more shots. No MVP-skill required to do that.
Who's the MVP? Dwayne Wade, or Tim Duncan.

Who is Dwayne Wade?
One fiasco of a thread after another that blows up in his face, but he just keeps coming. You've got to admire the tenacity.
I loved how he didn't even try to defend his position after beign exposed like that, I guess there's some hope after all.
they aren't?
Topic is Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and LeBron James aren't MVP candidates. That's four men. Can you count?
This is one funny piece of .
ahh damn, you edited your post, lol. tell tale sign of this is given at bottom of your post.
Since when? There's no doubt that from 2000 to 2002 Shaq was the best player in the league and he didn't have a lot of tricks in his bag nor he was clutch, but he was without a question the most dominant player in the world.
Stop trying to make things up to defend Kobe's case.
I don't care who wins the MVP. I do care who wins the LOB.
I don't know why you mentioned kobe, cp3, howard. they have no chance of a m.v.p. with lebron playing the way he is.. wade is 2nd in the mv.v.p. race as far as I'm concerned the rest of them are a far 3rd. Kobe had his chance at some m.v.p.s got one wich will be his only by the time he's done.
Sorry but if you trully bealive that Shaq was never the best player in the league then I can't take your BB opinions serious anymore.
Duncan's so good, lakerfans have to make up to diss him
-Mars
He's not Laker fan, more like a Kobe sucker.
As i mentioned earlier.
Kobe was the best player for maybe 2 or 3 years. Don't let it fool you that without Shaq, he'd have as many rings as Lebron, Dirk, Nash, Barkley & Malone combined.
Period of dominance:
1985-1998: Jordan
1998-1999: Duncan
2000-2002: Shaq
2002-2005: Duncan
2006-2008: Kobe
2009-2Xxx: James
I'd put Hakeem in there for 1994-95 when MJ was playing baseball. Somehow would try and squeeze in AI right around the turn of the century; he was inch-for-inch the best player in the game at the time IMO and carried an otherwise mediocre team to the Finals. Other than that, solid list.Period of dominance:

Yet another failure and distortion of the facts. The Lakers were in first place in the western conference prior to both Bynums injury and Gasol's arrival.
Regardless of the Douchbag of SpursTalk post, The 3 that deserve MVP consideration at this point in time are LBJ, Wade, and Kobe. Wade played the best ball in the olympics and IMO is also right now. He wont get MVP because his teams record wont warrant it. Just like Kobe didnt get them when he had far superior years to Nash. Lebron is playing great ball as is Kobe. Kobe is actually having his best shooting year of his career and is indeed playing "team ball". LBJ is also having a career year and has always played team ball. If either team falters or pulls away from the other record wise, that will be the defining parameter.
Jordan was easily the best player even in 1994-1995. He was that good.
BTW Rockets fans, you wouldn't have one freaking banner if it weren't for Jordan kidding around in Minor league baseball for 2 years.
Man, no more threads like these. I am getting f*cking tired of having to agree with Lakers fans.
(However, Tim SHOULD always be in the running)
I'd never seen D-Rob more frustrated than when "The Dream" was on the court. I mean he could handle young Mutumbo and Shaq more, but Hakeem gave us fits. As a kid I remember cursing "the dream shake". Straight baller! He might have the best footwork for a seven footer in the league ever.
Do you honestly think he chose to play baseball on his own? He wasn't kidding around. It was go on hiatus for a year or two or get suspended and tarnish that media and nike hyped reputation.Jordan was easily the best player even in 1994-1995. He was that good.

Wait, my memory fails me. Why would he have had to face suspension if he didn't take a B-Ball sabbatical?
Jordan had a major gambling problem. The hype from Jordan's retirement and baseball career kept the media from asking too many questions about his gambling.
Scandalous. I might have been a bit young to have been told something so reprehensible about a hero. I remember his father was shot at an ATM or something, wonder if the gambling was related?
Exactly it was as if Stern forced Jordan to retire.
The media was too stuck up to move. The "When will Jordan return" hype was way off the charts those two years.
