Can Durant go 9-1 without WB? I don't think so.

Wait Westbrook is an asset now? Any other conversation people act like Russ is holding KD and the Thunder back.
And probably not since Russ's backup is either Reggie Jackson or Derek Fisher or Royal Ivey post Manor's acl but it would defend on the competition.

Kevin Durant should win the MVP, I'm tired of Lebron winning it and then failing in the playoffs lol

it's not like he got ousted in the 1st rd or held to 6% shooting in a playoff series by one of the people who he beat out for the award though.

Exactly,1 in 10 so I don't get the "failing in the playoffs" argument when every winner hasn't necessarily had success in the playoffs. It's the Regular season MVP,playoffs should have nothing to do with it.Originally Posted by Beware The Underdog

wade is the best shot blocking guard EVER... wade has always been a better passer then kobe even playing without a legit big man for the last couple years.. wades black out season a couple years ago when lebron won his first MVP could be compared to kobe black out season.. not points exactly but in a all around game..Originally Posted by JD617
Kobe better be leading the league in scoring, he's taken 231 more shots than the next highest player.
Wade isn't more athletic, gets to the rim better, finishes at the rim better, better on ball defender, help defender, shot blocker, passer...?
kobe is always gonna be one of the greatest pure scorers, but dont act like wade is not better at anything compared to kobe.. have you seen some of the players wade has played with?..

Really? I would really like to know what makes you take this stance.
You types been workin for 10 years to come up with every player, every moment you could to put somebody above Kobe and his career. Listenin to you guys, he wouldn't even be considered a top 150 player, oh but Wade, now that's greatness. And TMac, and Vince, Pierce, Monta Ellis, hell even Pau, whoever else you guys have surely spoken out for above Kobe. I get it.
But that ain't the topic for in here
Bron and Durant for the MVP this year, pretty clear they are the 2 in the battle these last 15 games or so. Big one tonight, I am sure there will be a bunch of bickering tonight about it.

Unless he totally folds these last few games I'm still going with the BASED One as I have since about 2 weeks into the season.
Should I put some sort of informal poll in the OP? People pull thru, give their vote Bron or Durant, and we list them all and see who says what til the award is announced?
If people are cool with that, throw your vote out and I'll compile all of it and post it later.
In the interest of ease, no votes for Love or Dwight or whoever else, pretty clear it's the 2 SF's this year.

CP like i said before kobe is one of greatest scores there is no doubt about it... i never denied that... but you cant deny that wade doesnt do some things better then kobe..

Before I could even attempt to formulate a counter argument I would need to know what the qualifications are.
What are we basing this claim on... Is it purely stats or is there something else being considered as well?
CP I'm with that... You can go ahead and cast my vote for BASEDBron

just straight up block stats... is there any other way to look at it?.. for the last couple years he has always been the 1st guard on the shot blocking list with all the centers and PF and he is a undersized guard at that...

Saying Wade is a better passer than Bean is like saying Nash is a better passer than Kidd. The difference (if any) is negligible.

I dunno until LeBron got there Wade was basically the point guard, Kobe is a good passer for a 2 gaurd but Wade can play point gaurd full time and run an offense.

From an offensive standpoint, Kobe could if he wanted to as well, IMO. Running an offense doesn't necessarily make you a better passer than other people. I'm simply speaking on the ability to get the ball to an open man. I haven't ever seen D-Wade make a pass that Bean couldn't have made, and vice versa. There are plenty of teams who have PG's that aren't the best "passer" on their teams.

I just looked at who I consider to be the top 5 at that position and yea... based on stats he has all of them beat.

For the 'Skip Bayless LeBron is disqualified after he joined Wade' crowd
31, 7.5 & 7.3 on 53% shooting and an 8-1 record without Batman in 9 games.
I'd love to see the firestorm that would kick up if roles were reversed.
