LeBron for MVP?....NO!

It is the mid way point of the NBA season. Who's your pick for MVP? Most people seem to be picking LeBron James. James is having yet another amazing season averaging 27.4 ppg, 8.1 rebs and 6.8 ast. Also, the Heat are tied with the Thunder for the best record in the league (27-7). These are definitely MVP numbers but I refuse to celebrate another great, but pointless season from LeBron James! Nothing this man does in the regular season excites me. I really don't care. The only thing that matters is what he does in the post season. Period. If the NBA rewards this man with another MVP, they give him more reason to be satisfied with himself. If he DOESN'T win MVP I am willing to guarantee that the Miami Heat will win the NBA Championship. "So if LeBron doesn't win, who will?!" I'm glad you asked! Kevin Durant should be the MVP! He is having an excellent season averaging 27.9 ppg and a career high 8.1 rebs. I believe it is Durant's time. This is his 5th year in the league and every year since his arrival in the NBA he has improved his play and his team. Also, he is the MOST valuable player on his team. Unlike LeBron who plays with two elite players, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.  Unless Kevin Durant has an awful second half of the NBA season, he should win MVP. But I doubt the NBA feels the same way.

  1. first off im disappointed in you Dave.second MVP is a season award.he's having a better year than Durant so far in every stat except scoring which is all durant does.Durant is a close second though so dont get me wrong i like KD but Lebron is the most valuable to his team.its nt Dwade because u saw how when he was gone with the injury it didnt change their dominance.westbrook is like Dwade in that sense.i agree its all about the ring but we are talkin about SEASON MVP not FINALS MVP.

  2. The only statistical category that Lebron is better that KD is assist. Westbrook is no Dwayne Wade! I don't trust his jump shot, he shoots waaay too much and he turns the ball over too much. So yes KD is by far the most valuable player to his team. The Heat without LeBron would be just as dominant.
