Who do you think should get the NBA MVP this year?  Why?

Um, Dirk anybody? He's the last man in the NBA I think who actually plays basketball! I think Manu Ginobili deserves some credit too! I'd also give consideration to Dwayne Wade.

Chauncey Billups.  Hes had a remarkable year.  Kobe shouldnt get it.  Theyve done horrible this year and scoring 81 pts in a game is amazing but not for an mvp award

yes!!! lebron has 4 or 5 triple doubles this year. this shows that he works on all ends of the court. he scores well, he passes for the assists, he rebounds constantly, and he blocks shots for defense. you cant ask for more. not to mention hes 21. Nash and Kobe all deserve their credit but i feel that lebron is a better player. kobe is all about himself so he can score 40 in a game but has only like 2 assists. lebron scores 40 and has 11 assists. the only other person besides lebron that should even come close to getting the MVP award is Nash but it still should be lebron.

If were going for the future I would go with Lebron James. He is the second best player behind Kobe. He is only 22 and was already second in votes for MVP. Make it to the second round and almost knock off the pistons. Great ball handler, defender, driving, clutch shooting. I think the only thing that is not amazing is shooting although he has improved greatly since last season but now he shoots like Iverson sometimes he is on sometimes hes off but the thing he does great is when he is not shooting well he will get to the basket and get a layup or dunk and when thats not goin down he will pass it around and get his team into it.

Kobe, ha thats funny because he has no chance to win MVP. I'm going with Wade because he is the playmaker and gives the ball to Shaq so he can score. Otherwise Shaq is nothing much.

I say Jermaine O'Neal. Everybody overlooks him. He is a great shooter, even if he fouls a little to much. And Shawn Marion ROCKS. Thank you for not being a hater.

Give it two more years, and no one will have to ask - it'll be LeBron. He needs some work on his baseline game yet, but that *will* bear fruit.\n\nI'd like to see how Amare Stoudamire is when he returns from his injury, but something tells me it won't matter.

I'm going to say Maurice Cheeks.  He's a great person, but he hasn't proven himself to be a winner.  All the other people on the list at won a playoff series.  Larry Brown is burning out, and honestly needs to give it up soon.

I do not think it will be Shaq because he missed a big chunk of this season. I think either Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, or Shawn Marion would be great MVPs because they aren't big superstars like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, or Allen Iverson, yet they are just as athletic.

Dwayne Wade will win the NBA Finals MVP. Here are some reasons why:\n1. He willed his team to come back being down 13 points in the 4th to win in Game 3 by scoring 42 points \n2. He has hit crucial jumpers in key moments of this Finals series\n3. He is only 24 years old and is only going to get better\n4. He has consistently drawn fouls and gone to the FT line and he made two big ones in Game 5\n5. He is legitimately "the next Michael Jordan"

Paul Pierce. He had his best season this year.

My votes for the East would go to Dwyane Wade and Jason Kidd (who is playing out of his mind right now) at guard, LeBron James and Vince Carter at forward, and Shaquille O'Neal at center.  While in the East, I would vote for Chris Paul (though I know Tracy McGrady will eventually get this spot), Kobe Bryant at guard, Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan at forward, and Yao Ming at center.  I predict that Dwyane Wade will bring home the All-Star game MVP trophy.\n\nAs for the All-Star game festivities:  I feel that both Wade and Nowitzki will defend their Skill Challenge and Three Point crown respectively.\n\nHope this helps.

I think Kobe Bryant or Steve Nash should have the MVP title this year. Steve Nash has really maintained the Suns' rankings even though Amare was injured, but Kobe has been doing his best to involve his teammates as much as possible and he has set some records this year too. For me, Kobe is still the MVP for this season because he completely plays in a different level compared to other players. Steve Nash is second...
