My two candidates are Steve Nash (again) and Lebron James. Im leaning a bit more torwards Nash, b/c not only does he contribute with pts, but his teamates are averaging career highs in scoring due to his passing ability and court vision which is ungodly. All this w/o stoudi, just imagine if he were playin'!!

Lebron is just a fuckin animal. Kid has shown so much improvement and has been beasting all season. It's gonna be a tough call this year.

This one is really up in the air, with the likes of Elton Brand, K.G, Kobe Bryant and others all having an outstanding season.

4/8/2006 4:28:44 AM

LeBron or Kobe.

j hodge...

4/8/2006 5:38:43 AM

Chauncey Billups

4/8/2006 9:06:07 AM

Lebron

4/8/2006 10:03:35 AM

Nash, Kobe, and just to piss people off I am gonna say Chris Paul (beast on the court)

4/8/2006 10:18:20 AM

my top 3 are Nash, Kobe, Lebron.

Why people are mentioning Tony Parker is beyond me

4/8/2006 11:09:18 AM

i dont agree with putting billups in the mvp list, at least so high. he's a solid player, but im sure the pistons could pick up the slack without him as deep as they are. i assume the argument here is that he's the best player on the best team? i dont see that as being the same as "most valuable" lebron is nasty, but id pick nash since the team hasnt lost a beat despite losing so many players to trades/injuries...give nash any player and he'll make them good

4/8/2006 12:15:43 PM

Nash and Lebron for sure

Melo has been doin his thing to along with the struggles that team has gone through... injuries, trades, and now shootings...

4/8/2006 1:02:09 PM

nash

4/8/2006 1:04:07 PM

no way KG gets it, his team is horrible now...brand is doing well, but much of that team's success can be credited to sam i am...what about dirk(who i hear plays D now)?

Chris Paul is runnin shit in N.O., so if it pisses anyone off it just cause theyre a hater


and no mention for Dirk? sheesh people..Dallas is an entirely new team this year...my boys took out the Spurs last night...we might actually do somethin this year

[Edited on April 8, 2006 at 1:41 PM. Reason : ^ hahah ok i see that now, it took me too long to hit post message]

4/8/2006 1:40:55 PM

Dirk, just because I saw that game last night.

Powell made about 3 shots

4/8/2006 1:44:43 PM

Dirk, Billups, or Kobe

4/8/2006 1:55:21 PM

nash

4/8/2006 2:01:49 PM

Chauncey Billups

4/8/2006 2:14:29 PM

how about vince carter for the nets?

4/8/2006 2:56:14 PM

nash is my final choice cause you can see the before/after effect of the suns since his arrival...someone explain why billups derserves it besides the fact besides being a good player on the best team (i think ben wallace is more valuable to that team myself)....could billups do this on a team that didnt have 4 allstars in the starting lineup?

4/8/2006 3:00:12 PM

Kobe - small example was yesterday when he started the fourth quarter on the bench and his team went from 1 down to 9 down in just two minutes while Nash was on the bench for the Suns.
It has to be Nash, Kobe and Lebron.
But I would give it to Kobe, made too much history this year and obviously if the lakers were without him, they would win about 15 games all season.

4/8/2006 3:03:41 PM

my beef with kobe is that the team together doesnt do much....he's the best individual player in the league, but i wouldnt say he doesnt improve his team that much...i think if he was gone, lamar would probably pick up a lot of the slack and a couple of other players would do more...without kobe, the scoring of the team would be close to the same, but coming from more than one source, which is harder for defenses to contain...in my opinion

4/8/2006 3:11:06 PM

^ did you just say that they would win more without kobe?

4/8/2006 4:01:51 PM

not necessarily more, but they wouldnt win just 15, what they'd lose in an awesome scoring threat they would gain in a more varied offensive attack (and odom would be noticably more influencial than he is under bryant)

4/8/2006 4:16:36 PM

Little known fact: Steve Nash was a Navy Seal

4/8/2006 4:53:02 PM

^Really???

I vote LeBron, Nash, Dirk, then Billups. In that order too.

4/8/2006 5:06:35 PM

KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!

4/8/2006 5:08:48 PM

^^^^ look at Odom's averages with the lakers compared to his with the heat in the east a couple years ago. it's not like he was doing muuch better.


notice that his rebounds in the last two seasons are just about higher than ever, also his assists average is one of his career bests, the only thing is that this season he is averaging 2.4 points less than when he was with miami and clippers.

Look at how much confidence k.brown now has because of Kobe along with a lot more players. Even Jordan wasn't able to make k.brown better. They all just need to be tougher and not a bunch of pussies.

^ I still can't decide whether Kwame's good play is simply a fluke or not

I vote Nash, Dirk, Kobe.

4/8/2006 7:17:36 PM

damn guys, dallas and the suns have too many very good players other than nash and dirk
