    Sports Daily: Who Deserves the NBA MVP Edition

    I think the more glaring stat is that he's shot about 120+ more FTs then Harden, who is second in the league....and that's about 190+ more than LeBron....per games #'s make it look closer than it really is...

    Just saying...

      This is what I'm saying. And I don't think he has a shot in hell but it would be nice to see him finish in that 3-4 range with a couple of first place votes..

      If the one guy who voted Melo last year wasn't kicked off the voting committee he sure as hell better vote Noah this year for the same reasoning.. He ruined what should have been unanimous.

        Kd hands down deserves MVP.. pound for pound Lebron is the best player in the league, fundamentally looking Kevin Durant is the best in the League no questions asked. Kevin Durant has earned the MVP in every area this yr.

          Correct, but they all get superstar calls so it is what is. Durant looks frail compared to LeBron and just sells the hell out of no contact, which is a disgrace but that's more of a League problem.

          I just wonder if LeBron was doing this would BTH be saying the exact same thing.

            Durant (32.9%) and LeBron (31.0%) actually have very comparable usage percentages this year.

              This is actually a closer race than expected. Let's look at lebron . His shooting % is better than last year he has kept his streak going with consecutive games in double figures. He is a top ten player in points per game, assists and shooting %. Durant has had an epic scoring season. He didn't pass Jordan's record for consecutive games of 25 points or more ( technicality due to game being a blow out). He is a top ten player in points per game and free throw %. Stat wise it goes to Lebron . He is a more complete basketball player. Points wise it goes to too durant. Now as far as " most valuable player" goes I think the Thunder have enough depth to get by without Durant than the heat have without Lebron. Durant should get the scoring title and lebron gets the MVP......but it's clearly based on stats .......

                That's the thing, LeBron doesn't. All superstars complain, but that't not the issue here, don't get them mixed up.

                Him, Melo, PG, Westbrook even..all get hit way more per game and it goes uncalled. You even touch Durant just barely and it's a foul. No questions asked. Same with Harden.

                Who cares if he's frail? Show me in the rulebook where player weight is factored in to foul calls. A foul is a foul. Something called on Manute Bol should also be called on Shaq.

                  Right, they both have the ball a lot. But Durant shoots more than LeBron, and less efficiently. So what exactly does Durant have so far and away over LeBron or anyone else? Stats? No. Carrying a team? Look at Noah please. Defense? They've both been bad this year.

                    Thunder Fans(if there are any on here)are about to go thru what Bulls fans had to go thru when Derrick Rose won MVP a few years ago.

                      In fact, just today KD tried to sell contact that isn't there on a completely clean block.

                        I think this is quite different.. But I think Durant deserves to win the MVP this year, I didn't feel strongly towards Rose winning it.

                          You're supposed to be an admitted Durant *****, right? You can do better than trying to reach for something that isn't there in that gif.

                          I'm thinking you were going to post one of his patented head nods. Not some reaction that ANY player would have if they got their shot cleanly blocked from behind. But then again, this is the issue I have with slow motion gifs or YouTube videos in the first place. They can be spun into whatever story the poster wants it to be.

                            It's not a completely normal reaction to lean in and flail your arms man. Agree to disagree I guess.

                              So what is the appropriate reaction then? Especially when the shot is getting blocked from behind and you're not expecting it?

                                Hold on let me google "Jumpshots getting blocked from behind". Man I don't know what the "'right" reaction is to that, i just know that on that play, Durant tried to sell contact that just isn't there.
