Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

[RaychelSnr]

When you have a brand to protect and that brand is founded in masculine dominance and ego, it takes a lot to even hint that someone else is more deserving than you when it comes to the top awards in your sport.

But when The King -- and reigning MVP -- was asked who deserves this year's award the most, he may not have shouted it from the rooftops, but even LeBron knows that Kevin Durant has been 'more consistent' throughout this NBA season.

According to ESPN:
Quote:
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset"> "I would say he's [Durant] the most consistent basketball player as far as the MVP this year, man," James said. "He's put up some great numbers." </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
Sound Off: Who is this year's NBA MVP?

Let the arguing and advanced stats begin .

No arguments here, my opinion is of the mvp is that Lebron could win it every year but since people would get bored of that i'll give it to Durant. The MVP order goes as followed, Durant, LeBron, Blake, Noah in my opinion.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

I think pretty much everyone has acknowledged Durant deserves the MVP for the past couple months now.

The only way he won't win it is if the majority of the voters decide to vote for "best player in the league" which I could never see happening, that's not how it's supposed to work.

I don't think however that if somehow another player won that we will look back on it saying "so and so stole one of Durant's MVPs" the way we look back and say Barkley and Malone stole 2 from Jordan, or Nash stole one from Kobe, etc.

No stats needed. Kevin Durant should be the MVP.

I like your order, but I don't really feel it's "boredom" that would keep LeBron from winning it. I think Durant has earned it this year, and I feel like Noah and Blake both earned themselves at least consideration.. If those aren't the top 4 I will be extremely shocked.

Durant no question.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

I think everyone knows KD is the MVP at this point...I thought the article in the OP brought up some advanced stats or something...where did that come from?

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

yeah I agree Durant is the MVP no question, was quite a race though.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

I think it is because ESPN introduced a new advanced stat that said Lebron was ahead or whatever. I'll pay attention to that like i do their QBR stuff.

But Yeah Durant is the MVP no question, was quite a race though.

Indeed it was. Lebron jumped ahead for a bit in February and a little bit of march. If he hadn't gone on that drought after the 61 points I'd be more hesitant to say Durant should be mvp.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

Well, Durant shoots 3 more shots than LeBron, 2 more FTs than LeBron, and only beats him in rebounding, but sure, I guess he'll probably get it.

I'd give it Noah before him. Only reason Durant will get it is because Westbrook was out., we just saw how good Westbrook is last night.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

Man you really don't like Durant do you? geez.

Re: Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

Easily it's Durant. No debate needed.
