Duncan

It would be a disgrace to the MVP if Nash wins anymore awards...he has as many as Duncan!

And Duncan is 4-0 in les and 3-0 in Finals MVPs. I think it would be a perfect illustration of what the MVP award means -- nothing.

For the past three years the MVP award has meant zip. Why worry about it now?

Nash

The natl. media is in love with this guy.

But...he can ball.

Ichiro!

Arenas... being the MVP he could give a ton of weird interviews

What yall think who'll be the MVP 2008?

A. Dirk
B. Kobe
c. LeBron
D. Duncan
E. Nash
F. Wade
g. Garnet

I think it will be A

Depends on who wins the most games usually. I think Duncan's time for MVP has passed. He'll be on all the short lists and get solid mentions, but players don't usually have a several year hiatus (eg. more than four) from their first MVP trophy and then come back and win again. Since 1956 the only ones who managed that feat were Jordan and Jabbar. (For you stats fan bettors, that means your last name must end in a J to win)

That's not saying he shouldn't win again, merely that the voters are bored with him and the Spurs. If the Spurs win again, they'll simply say we're too good and give it to someone whose team played better than expected.

So I think the voters will be looking at the new crop of stars like Wade, LEBRon, Boozer, Melo, etc rather than at the old stars like Kobe, TD, Nash and Garnett. Actually Dirk might make it if the Mavs improve to the Championship.

I'd like to see Duncan, but I think it will be Kobe this time.

Heart says Kobe Bryant.

Head usually thinks Duncan.

But then it'll probably be LeBron James, then the media can go have their orgasm...
