@ Durant as # 1
Will update every few days or daily.
1. Kevin Durant
2. Lebron James
3. Chris Paul
4. Tony Parker
Heat are 8-2 over the last 10 while Lebron nearly shoots field goals at 70% ... he is #1
CP3 wont win it, he has missed 12 games, thats just too much
Chris Paul and Parker don't belong there. This is a two person race and everyone knows it.
Lebron
Everyone else
Point guards
1. LeBron
The only reason he doens't win is because they're tried of giving it to him.
even if they are tired of giving it to lebron, durant has no business winning this season, he hasnt done anything that seperates him from lebron or even from last season...
And the team struggled greatly without him... now that he's back at full strength, the Clippers have had two huge road wins in a row and look like they did in December, tbh....
Personally, I have LeBron and CP3 as 1a and 1b, meaning that the Kang probably deserves it again this year, but if the voters are sick of giving it to him, CP3 is the best choice among the rest...
LeBron is the best player in the league.
It ain't even close and Lebron shooting 70% is not really fair to the rest of the NBA.
1. Lebron
2. Durant
3a. CP3
3b. Tony Parker
4. Melo (Who would've though Melo would actually be in the hunt)
CP3 is not the best choice among the rest. CP3 doesn't deserve consideration over Durant. After Durant, then CP3 would be next in line along with Carmelo.
Carmelo. TP>Carmelo this year. Easily. CP3 as well. NY has struggled recently a lot due to Melo chucking and not playing defense at all anymore.
Anyone who says Durant>Lebron for MVP should not be allowed to have children IMVHO.
lol at people that act like the Spurs are just ho-hum doing what they are expected to do with an aging Tim (who miraculously turned back the clock unexpectedly), an oft-injured Manu and then a bunch of "scrubs" like Neal, Green, De Colo and a young guy like Kawhi starting. People have been writing the Spurs off for how many years? Then when they win, they act like it's some super top flight talented young team in their prime and it's expected.
I would put tony parker at #2 with what he is doing without his other 2 guys making up the big 3 for the past decade. He has carried his team winning with role players and the bench making then look great. Kevin durant has had a full cast and CP3 has been hurt for a good amount of games. Lebron is just playing out of his mind keeping him at #1 choice for MVP, but Tony would be my #2 in my opinion
They have won 7 of their last 10 games, winning several of them by more than 10, and one of them by a 39 point margin. I don't see a whole lot of struggling lately by the Knicks.
LeBron has to be number one right now. He's playing the best ball of his career over the last 3 weeks or so.
Lebron
Durant
CP3/Carmello
That's about where it ends. Those are the only guys with any shot to actually win it. And CP3/Carmello has to finish the season #1 in their conference, and hope that Lebron and Durant either get hurt or screw up badly down the stretch to have any chance. Their chances are rather slim.
TP>Melo this year.
Really? Because last I checked, its been about 6 years since the Spurs won anything legit, and that was when they had Manu and Tony in their primes together, and Timmy just as he started to begin the downside of his career.
Although I don't agree, I understand why one would feel that way.
Regardless, Melo is in New York, so his accomplishments will be much more noted. TP won't have any remote shot at winning, and Carmello barely has a shot himself.
They have lost 2 of their last 3, including one to the Wizards, then got blown out by the Clippers at home. They barely played .500 ball the entire month of January, lost to POR, BOS, CHI, & BKY at home in January and were doing pretty awful before a 5 game win streak against the likes of ORL, MIL, SAC & DET (4 of the worst teams in the league). Their defensive ranking is now 15th in the league.
They have definitely struggled, primarily on defense, since their hot start.
That doesn't make any sense. It actually helps my point. People share your logic, then when the Spurs ball out the act like the Spurs are stacked and are just doing what they should be doing.
I think it's close between LeBron and Durant. I give the edge to Durant because his team has a better record, and when an MVP race is close, I think a factor like that can sway the vote one way or another. But it would be no crime to give it to LeBron. He'd be absolutely deserving. And in recent games, he's been a monster. But I'm looking at the whole season up to this point, not just the last 5 games or so. If it were based on LeBron last 5 games or last 10 games, he'd be running away with it. Based on the season up to this point, I think it's closer. And I lean just slightly towards Durant.
Tony Parker deserves top 5 consideration. I don't see the point over arguing whether he's 3rd in line or 5th when no one is close after LeBron and Durant.
I could be convinced to drop Melo down, but I do think he's had a pretty impressive season. He does have the tendency to chuck, but for the most part this season, it's worked out for the Knicks. And his chucking has been less of an issue than three point shooting or lack of secondary scoring when the Knicks have struggled. Still, I think Melo's play has been the main reason the Knicks have a top 5 record in the league.
Meh, most all good teams have a month in their season where things don't go well. And most all teams have a win streak against ty teams.
They are still among the top teams in the league, and have a solid record so far against the elite teams of the league (beating Miami twice, sweeping the Spurs, 0-1 vs Clips and haven't played OKC yet)
I'd say Carmello deserves to be in the MVP race, even though it's basically Lebron/Durant's to lose.
