[HarlemHeat37]

Update the thread, weekly..

What are the current MVP rankings?..

1. King James
2. Chris Paul
3. Dwight Howard
4. Kevin Durant
5. Kevin Love
6. Tony Parker
7. Andrew Bynum
8. Derrick Rose
9. Dwyane Wade
10. Kobe Bryant

[Killakobe81]

1. Lebron - but these national TV losses lately are troubling, he has been great all year
2. Durant - doesn't feel like an MVP season but all recent MVPs have had a team with top two record in conference and his team has the best record
3. Kobe - I dont think he should win and bynum's emergence will definitely hurt his chances at winning the award, but increases his slim chance at #6
4. CP3 - his season seems MVP worthy but again hard to win it without a top conference record
5. Dwight - though he is as indecisive as a bisexual ... to keep that team where it has been all year makes him top 5 and he probably should be 2nd only to Lebron ...

kobe 3rd. how many times have we seen you get pissed because kobe has chucked up a loss?

[ChrisRichards]

I feel like Lebron is the MVP but the media will award this to Kevin Durant. I honestly don't think KD deserves it this year considering Westbrook is undeniably option B for the Thundercats.


Lakers are on a roll and Kobe has been putting up decent numbers. Those two losses against Detroit and Washington did hurt Kobe's chances a bit more, had the Lakers won those I think Kobe will be the clear cut 3rd MVP runnerup. We'll see how they finish the rest of the way. If they finish Top 2 in the West with Kobe avoiding those 8/28 games then I'll say its either him or Durant for MVP (Though I still feel Lebron is the MVP but thats not realistic this year due to media bias)

My list was based on media bias. I dont see how you can NOT give it to Lebron. As long as Bulls finish as the 1 or 2 seed in the east and a top 4 record in the NBA overall. He has the stats, the game even if he has missed on some clutch moments. Kobe has an emerging Bynum. Durant an emerging Westbrook. I dont think we can penalize him for playing with a star.

[ChrisRichards]

Bron will always be at a disadvantage because he has the Superfriends tbh

yup

My list was based on media bias. I dont see how you can NOT give it to Lebron.

Well, undeniably Lebron is the best player in the game, but Wade has been closing some games for us which really hurts Lebron's chances a bit more. The media has been pretty hard on him since the AS break and Wade hitting those 2 recent game winners only proves that Lebron as great as he is still relies on Wade to close the games for him. Hard to see Lebron gaining favor in this situation. I'm ok with Durant winning it but I think in terms of pure value, Lebron is more valuable than Durant since Wade and Bosh have missed some games for the Heat this year yet the Heat are only a few games away from the best record in the league with Lebron putting up amazing numbers accorss the board.

Love should only be considered if the Wolves make the playoffs. Westbrook is not an MVP candidate and whoever put him on the list. Rose and Dwade have been hurt way too often this season to really be in the discussion.

Genius, I said my list was based on media votes. IF it were my vote Paul and Kobe would be lower. Try reading next time. And even though he cost us Philly Detroit and Wash he has won plenty of games too ...

[Killakobe81]

Love would be higher if they secure a top 3 NBA record.

[LnGrrrR]

No way Lebron wins it again. Losing in the Finals will sway voters from him, and voters don't like to hand out multiple MVPs in a row (sorry Jordan).

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron is the only player having an MVP-type season..

Durant's team is barely better with him on the floor, he hasn't displayed MVP-type value..his WP and adjusted +/- numbers are around the same as Ibaka, Harden and Westbrook..

Rose has missed games, and his team has played just as well without him..

Howard has too much controversy around him..

Love's team won't be good enough..

Paul has been the most valuable to his team, other than Lebron and Love, but the Clipps are going downhill..

Kobe's numbers are atrocious, and Bynum has moved ahead of him..

[Pelicans78]

Lebron
Durant
Love
Paul
Howard

[Deuce Bigalow]

1. Durant
2. Lebron
3. Kobe

Thunder have a better record than the Heat. If it remains that way Durant should get it.

[DPG21920]

TP should be top 5.

It's all about dat PPG!! Never mind the turnovers, the poor points-per-shot, and the poor field goal percentage, Kobe be leading da league in scoring so he be a top MVP candidate, yo!

Isn't that why you started this nonsense thread in the first place? You could care less about the MVP race, you just want to start another Lebrom thread so you can get your on.

[JamStone]

LeBron is really the only deserving candidate, but I agree that he's probably lost some luster with some of the voters. Durant has been good but I'm not that impressed by him to go so far as viewing him as MVP of the league. If enough voters have soured on LeBron, I do think CP3 can sneak in and steal an MVP he probably deserved when Kobe won his. I didn't realize CP3 was averaging basically 20 PPG. 20/8 while shooting almost 50% from the field, 2nd in the league in steals, and has really changed the culture and expectations of Clippers Nation.

To me, it should be LeBron. But CP3 might not be a bad second choice.

[DPG21920]

Lebron
CP3
Durant
Parker
Kobe

Also, Durant as the face of the NBA would be disgusting..

It doesn't matter. He still won't win it.

I didn't realise he was averaging 20ppg either.

Then I looked at Tony Parker's stats and his averages are 20/8 on nearly 50%, ok defense, lots of clutch play and leading his team to the 2nd best record in the West with less talent than Paul, tbh.

I'm not one to go homer-mode, but TP is up there with CP3.

No way that LeBron or Durant don't get it though.
