@ Ian

I basically agree with your point on the Lakers as long as you did say might make the playoffs. The fact of the matter is that nobody is afraid of the Lakeshow without Kobe and not to shit on Memphis’ playoff squads, but the West was weaker then. Lakers dynasty was over, Denver, Houston, Utah, New orleans, Portland weren’t as strong as they are now. Not to mention Grizzlies were rollin out JWill, Gasol, Mike Miller, Battier, Posey and a “still had a future” Stro Show coached by Fratello who always maximized his teams in the regular season.

@ Doc, you misremembered by post. I said Parker MIGHT get more votes than TD, not sayin that’s how i would vote, but the voters always come out with some shit that throws everybody off. I wouldn’t vote for Tim, parker or manu cuz they all cancel each other out, but I’m not stupid enough to think the spurs would be shit without TD.

@ Karizmatic – when you throw out a statement like Parker is the second best point guard, you should explain how he’s better than DWill or CP3,…which he’s not. The problem with Parker supporters is that they seem to come out after he destroys Nash and the Suns and say he’s #2, but nobody said shit after 15 and 4 in a 20 point loss against Portland and 11 and 6 on 3 of 16 shootin against Clev. Fact is he’s not a good a shooter or defender as DWill and he’s not as well rounded as CP. Nothin wrong with being #3 in the world…

@ Brogden

You think Mo Williams is really and Allstar point guard? How much of his success is really predicated on LBJ attracting that much attention?

Other than that I suppose your logic is sound.

I would say

LBJ
Kobe
Wade

KARIZMATIC – I think Lebron could rightfully get it. He fits the criteria.

But I have him lower on my list than Wade, Deron, Chris Paul and Tony Parker…because he has an all-star point guard who conveniently takes over games when he’s struggling and/or shut down.

With that thinking I’ll illustrate why I think Wade ultimately gets my vote:
Chris Paul is ultimately axed b/c he has an allstar forward
Same with Tony Parker
Same with Kobe
Lebron has an allstar point

Deron is still alive.
Wade is still alive.

With that said, I think Wade is more MVP than Deron is because there are better elements in place at Utah that allows Deron to will them to victory.

the hate doc the hate

you know what was the talk during the suns game that if deron belongs in the parker and paul group which means even they consider parker to be up there. and no even without timmy the spurs arent the clippers i mean who is really.
tim is their best player but parker is a top 3 pg even if u dont like him.

Brogden,

You really don’t think LBJ fits your criteria?

@K-Dizzle-Did u really mean it when you said TP should get more votes than Timmy.Thats terrible.He won 2 or 3 games in a week and that makes him MVP.It got silent as shit on the Tony talk with that stinker against Cleveland.A real team.By hiself.My MVP candidates.1.Bron-All that BS yall spitting about take Wade off his team,take Bron off this team of average scrubs and they would be worse than OKC.2.Kobe-He the most fundamental scorer in the world.All his moves are practiced and perfected,his teams the shit out West,and he’s a fucking problem.3.Dwight-A fucking monster who carries his squad with D and rebounding.4.D-Wade-His team aint no contender but u gotta have one dude who just there for numbers.They keep bringing up his team record from last year,but none of those dudes play.They keep bringing up rookies but they upgraded at every position this year.They record is what it should be.5D-Will and CP3-These dudes is just joined at the hip to me for every fucking discussion they in.6.Timmy-Just because hes Timmy and HE IS THE ONLY REASON THE SPURS AINT THE CLIPPERS.And as long as Timmy around,people can throw the Spurs in the team to look out for talk.

My List of True MVPS for Contenders:
DERON and CP and TP and WADE

The above 4 have been the most consistent, arguably the best players in thier respective conferences. They have played injured, they’ve played with new personnel, they’ve played without thier stars, they’ve played with inconsistent teammates. And they’re playing thier teams into the PLAYOFFS for sure. The above 4 are truly MVPS.

Out of that bunch I think Wade, best with less, will win it.

When you throw all that other criteria into MVP you get a list that looks sumptin like…
LEBRON, best on east best and KOBE, best on west best.

Then after that group, it’s still arguably other “mvps” for contenders…for example, DWIGHT (mvp of best road team) and ROY (mvp of rising young squad) plus I could name some more.

Between WADE, CHRIS PAUL, DERON WILLIAMS, TONY PARKER, LEBRON, KOBE, OR DWIGHT…I personally think it’s DWAYNE WADE.

(sidenote: these are the faces of the NBA today, i just realized that)

Who do I think will get it? LEBRON.
