Lebron is helping his team more than Chris Paul is helping his
LeBron has ZERO chance unless the Cavs make a serious charge in the second half of the year. With guys like Paul, Roy and Kobe carrying theirteams (teams not much more talented overall than the Cavs, mind you) in a much deeper, more competitive conference, there's absolutely no chance for statmonsters like LeBron to get it if their team is hovering around .500.

Why should Kevin Garnett be considered for MVP? Because he has two other All-Stars on his team, that, should he not be there, would still make up one of the best teams in the East?
That's a .500 team before the KG trade.....no defense.
KG really has been incredible this season, even if statistically it's not his best year.
He has them playing 110% every single night
Kiddin Like Jason:
I've been wondering this for weeks now, so let's hear your reasons.
Why should Kobe Bryant be considered for MVP? Because he's taking less shots? Because his teammates are improving?
Why should Kevin Garnett be considered for MVP? Because he has two other All-Stars on his team, that, should he not be there, would still make up one of the best teams in the East?
For me personally...
- Garnett is the best player in the league. Kidd is my favorite player, but I've been pretty consistent in maintaining that Garnett is the best player inthe league for me. The fact that he is now playing with a couple All Stars is irrelevant in MVP discussion, in my opinion. How important a player is to theleague, how talented he is, and (unfortunately) his teams record is what the voters consider. Taking those 3 things in to consideration, he's where I'mplacing my bet for MVP.
As far as why I would vote for him for MVP, I think is the best combination of 'talent + leadership + league importance', which is what an MVP is tome. I think he is extremely talented, an excellent leader, and extremely important to the league.
- Kobe is the most talented player in the league. But like I just said, the voters take into consideration the record of the guy's team. And in the last 3years, Kobe's team has seen 2 first round exits (after being a bottom seed in the West) and a non-playoff year. But this year, he is the leader of theWest's current #1 team.
I know people say it's a weak argument (and I'm not saying they're wrong), but I guess I'm going with the 'Best player on the bestteam' argument for both conferences.
I wouldn't be mad at all if your boy walked away with it, though. Dude is legit, certified, and everything else synonymous.
without Kobe, the Lakers wouldn't make the playoffs.
so i think as far as MVP goes Kobe > KG right now
That's like saying give Lebron the MVP because without him, they'd be a NBADL team.
Or take Nash off the Suns, and the Suns are nowhere near the powerhouse that they are.
IMO, Kobe is on the MVP watch list, but, not high up there.
Kobe is Kobe. But, the reason why the Lakers are playing so well right now is because guys like Bynum and Farmar have developed way faster than anyoneexpected. They're legit. Especially Bynum, looking like the second coming of the Shaq out there. And we all know how good the Lakers/Kobe is when he hassomebody worthwhile down low in the blocks.
Again, KG has All-Stars in Pierce and Allen on his team which definitely helps the cause, but, KG brings that emotion/tenacity/defensive effort that branchesout to the rest of the team.
That's the reason why they're so dominant right now.
They put the clamps down on opposing teams defensively.
