I think you are dreaming

Check out the W/L records of the Cavs & Heat after one player jumps ship - that's an MVP!!

Dirk has a great game today however to lead the Mavs over boston @ the Garden.
Another worthy player is KD - take him outta Oklahoma & they are 50/50 at best. He's a star!!

At this point in the season, I think Derrick Rose gets the nod for MVP. He has been solid all season and carried the team through the losses of some key players in Noah and Boozer, plus his team is continuing their way up the ladder.

Even though he was drafted so highly, how many would have picked Rose to win (if he does do so) MVP this early in his career? Especially with so many other big name players out there?

Not too many would be my guess. Considering he seems to have worked on and improved his game each season, I think he's a more than worthy candidate.

Still think Lebron is the MVP. Guy is putting up insane numbers on a top squad. I hated how he went to Miami but it showed how much better then Wade he is too. Wade is def the side kick.
Rose, still not great D. Dirk will never win it again after he crashed and burned in the first round in 07 unless his numbers are insane, like 30 & 15 insane. Rose seems to have the media momentum at the moment though

Lebron and Rose have basically identical w/l records but Lebron has way more help and the Bulls have also been hammered by injuries. D. Rose is clearly MVP right now.

If Lakers can have a good second half of the season and finish with the best record in the west I think Kobe should be MVP to make up for all the seasons he shouldve won the award. (ie. when nash won back to backs)

Isaac, found this info re Rose's 3 years:

Most people did not believe that the 19-year-old had what it took to lead the Chicago Bulls back into the top tier of the league.

Rose went on to win the 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

In his playoff debut, on the road against the defending champion Boston Celtics, Rose tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record for most points in a playoff debut with 36 (adding 11 assists).

In Rose’s second season, he became the first Chicago Bull to make the All-Star team since Michael Jordan.

And now, in merely his third season, the 22-year-old phenom point guard has been voted by the fans as a starter for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game.



Maybe MVP is next?

"Dirk will win, if it comes down to 50/50 and one guy is white, the white guy gets the nod"

Where did you pull this sh*t from????

Got to love anons TR....

Dirk for MVP is as unlikely as Bobby Brown giving up Crack.

Stoudamire and Rose are the clear favourites for MVP and are the only one's who seem to be worth it at present.

Lebron moving to Miami to win a title isn't exactly MVP worthy. He can rake in stats all he wants, but he isn't single handedly winning it for Miami.

Only other person in the pack who seems worthy of getting recognition is Kevin Durant.

LeBron has moved to favouritism in ESPN's MVP Watch:

The 51-11-8 game against the Magic. League leader in PER. The Heat are 28-4 in his past 32 games. And with every Cavs loss, we are reminded of how special he is.

Can someone pull out Dan Gilbert's angry letter again? Just for a laugh.
