[Alan Ogg]

KD

[iTare]

Kevin Durant but LeBron is pretty close.

[Quizno]

gotta give it to KD with the 21-4 record

[Ken_Masters]

Kevin Durant is my MVP at this point. His game is much more well rounded.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I am genuinely surprised by the amount of people voting for Durant.

Same. I'm not a LeBron guy but IMO it's him by a mile.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Durant or LeBron. Give the edge to Durant at this point.

[ripthekik]

You're going for the BJ again? :facepalm

[Jameerthefear]

Don't know about a mile, but I think it is Lebron. Surprising to see how many people here are voting for Durant when LBJ is shooting 60%...

My man AD is going to pull ahead by year's end though. :pimp:

Didn't you read the thread about not trolling?

Anyway:

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

You're lucky, would've negged you for that comment...

Anyway, my choice is LeBron James

25-7-7 on 60% FG (wtf) and 41% 3P with the #2 seed in the East. Not bad, not bad at all.

Durant is definitely second, though. Westbrook is an extremely strong #2 option, though, and that will hurt Durant a bit in the MVP race. Why do I say that? Why do you think LBJ didn't win it in 2011 when Rose won. Wade was a powerful #2 option. Durant might be faced with the same problem come MVP voting time.

Let's not forget that a non Center/PF shooting 60% is unheard of. Especially if they're scoring 25 a game. I'd wager that it has never been done in NBA history; and that is, a non Center/PF shooting 60% and 40% from 3P while scoring at least 25 ppg. Hell, I bet it hasn't even been done while scoring 20 ppg.

John Stockton was the first candidate that came to mind, he had a few 55% FG seasons but he never scored above 20 ppg. In fact, during both of his 54% and 55% FG seasons, he scored 15 and 14 ppg, respectively.

[poido123]

Lamarcus.

He has been outstanding this year and if his team finishes with the best record, he deserves it.

[Alan Ogg]

I'm more of a Lebron fan, but OKC's 22-4 record makes KD the right choice. KD is balling nasty too.

[I<3NBA]

I'm going with Hibbert. without him, Pacers won't have the record that they have.

[moe94]

LeBron is at 25/7/7 on 60% again? Damn. I thought he dipped.

[Jameerthefear]

My man AD is going to pull ahead by year's end though. :pimp:
Dwight might too if he continues playing the way he is now...

Wade is still a better player/sidekick than Westbrook. I don't see why having Westbrook will hurt Durant when LeBron has much better players on his team and that has never hurt him in the MVP voting. I think Rose won the MVP that year because the Bulls had the best record if i'm not mistaken. I have no problem with the MVP award going to the best player on the best regular season team.

[DaSeba5]

LeBron, but it's very close.

[zoom17]

Lebron or KD

Steve Nash won the MVP in 2005 with the best record in the NBA, do you agree with that?

Kobe won the MVP in 2008, despite the Celtics winning NINE more games, and having the #1 record in the league.

KG won in 04 with the #2 seed, blah blah blah.

So you see, it isn't that black and white, or is it?

Lmao, someone thinks Durant is MVP and you think they're trolling? :facepalm

He brought an argument that is pretty convincing. :confusedshrug:

No sir, I was referring to him saying he chose KD as the MVP because "He is the more well rounded player."

[NumberSix]

LeBron. Statistically, he's just too ridiculous.

[Ken_Masters]

No sir, I was referring to him saying he chose KD as the MVP because "He is the more well rounded player."

I said that Durant is much more well rounded. I didn't say he was more well rounded than anyone else. I'm speaking strictly in terms of his own development. He has added a more well rounded approach to his game, which benefits his MVP candidacy. He can no longer be called just a scorer. Maybe i'm in the minority, but with the way Durant has played this season, i do not consider LeBron to be head and shoulders better than him, despite his high field goal percentage.

[Marchesk]

Durant, although Westbrook was more efficient tonight.

[bdreason]

KD.

[bdreason]

Wade averaging 20/5/5/2 on 54/74 while coasting and people act like he's some scrub. Wade is missing games with injuries, but when he plays, he's still the best SG in the NBA, no doubt.

[Inferno]

You're going for the BJ again? :facepalm

:lol :lol :lol :lol

[pegasus]

KD. Wade has been better than Lebron in most of the games he played.

[BlackVVaves]

My vote goes to KD. I agree it's close though, and still believe LeBron is the better player. KD has just been slightly more impressive to me over the last 2-3 weeks.

[BlackVVaves]

KD. Wade has been better than Lebron in most of the games he played.

Not sure about that, but statistically it's a fact that LeBron has been more productive and efficient with Wade in the lineup this year than when he's out.

[moe94]

[TonyMontana]

LeBron.

Literally the only reason anyone is picking Durant is because LeBron has won 4 MVPs already and they're tired of him winning it. If LeBron had 0 MVPs at this moment in time, everyone would be on the "this is his year" bandwagon like they are with Durant.

The point is that there is not a single person aside from blind homers who think Durant > LeBron.

I've been saying this for ages but ISH is not very well moderated. I don't think Jeff gives his mods enough power to do that shit does he? Knowing ISH if you have 5+ stickied threads the whole site will go down for days.

[Ken_Masters]

Ultimately, LeBron being on an absurdly stacked team cheapens what he's doing with his field goal percentage in my mind. No one can be double teamed on that roster, so everyone is seeing single coverage and getting wide open shots. Wade is shooting 54 percent, and Bosh is shooting 53 percent. The big 3 are shooting lights out, while taking fewer shots per game.

[B-Easy8]

Swagbrook

[russwest0]

Kevin Durant in a landslide.

[BigTicket]

Durant is the clear MVP at this point in the season, but he was also the early season favorite in each of the last two years. It will be interesting to see if he can keep it up this time.

[GrapeApe]

LeBron.

Few would argue that LeBron is the best player in the league, but Durant has amazing stats on a team with a better record in a better conference. As you alluded to, voters will be looking for any reason to give it to someone else. For LeBron to win MVP, the Heat will likely need to finish with the best record in the league or his stats will have to be so overwhelming that they have no choice but to give it to him.

[inclinerator]

as much as i dislike kd it's him, a few bad games and losses and it goes back to bran doe

[All Net]

I am genuinely surprised by the amount of people voting for Durant.

Why? he has amazing stats and OKC have the best record.

We moderate this place as best as we can. The amount of threads we have to delete daily would shock you.
