Does Lebron still have any chance to still win the MVP?

[KDthunderup]

As the stats stand currently.

KD: 31.9ppg, 7.7rpg 5.5 ast, 1.3 stl, 0.8 blk on 50.8 FG% 40.3 3FG%

50-18 record in the West, 23-9 Without Westbrook (14 games left)

Lebron: 27ppg, 6.9rpg, 6.4 ast, 1.6 stl 0.3 blk on 57.2 FG% 38.3 3fg%

46-20 record in the East, 9-6 without Wade (16 games left)


KD is currently on streak of 33 straight games with 25+ points and currently holds the biggest winshares lead in over a decade

So does Lebron have any chance in hell of winning the MVP still?

I say no.

[leMVP]

No.

That stretch where they lost 5 of 6 was a dagger at Lebron's chances.

[russwest0]

No.

[kells333]

Its still possible but hes pretty far back at the moment. If he finishes on a kevin durant like 40 point streak and the heat heat finish on a roll he would win mvp.

[AintNoSunshine]

He had his chance during his hot streak and Thunder struggle with Russell back, but now the ship has long sailed.

[Andrei89]

No

[dabigbaws]

no. he never had a shot tbh. durant was still playing at the same level lebron was when lebron was on his hot streak and KD cooled down

[fpliii]

Definitely, but I don't think it'll happen. KD is the MVP as of today and rightfully so. In order for LeBron to win (most likely):

[Jailblazers7]

Lebron would have to rack up like 5-6 straight games with 40 points to have a shot at this point.

[Le Shaqtus]

Well he's not playing against the Cavs every game so no.

[Jlamb47]

I believe its possible but i doubt itl happen. KD is going to keep dominating. He has to have alot of bad games while Lebron has alot of good games. Not going to happen

[TheMan]

It's KD's to lose at this point.

[red1]

Realistically nah. Thus far kd has had an amazing season and by his standards bron had a solid season but nothing special

[kamil]

How is it possible for LeBron* NOT to be beasting given how incredibly piss poor the eastern conference is? Dude should be having a field day every time he plays against any team that isn't Indiana or Chicago.

What?

[kamil]

What?

Eastern Conference is a joke. Why is LeBron* still struggling? If he's supposed to be a top 5 player of all time (yeah right) than why isn't a 6'8" monster putting up insane numbers on arguably one of the weakest eastern conferences of all time?

[HoopsFanNumero1]

That GreatDeraj clown just posted a picture of the '12-'13 predictions :facepalm
Good thing you deleted your post.

[Big#50]

Durant has the MVP on lock. But Lebron is better.

[inclinerator]

slight chance if heat win every game while lebron puts up big numbers while thunder lose 5 games or so

[DJ Leon Smith]

It depends. If he has a 50/40/90 season he will be MVP. And LeBron says he could do that if he wanted to and I'm sure he wants to so it will happen.

http://p.twimg.com/A6V_UsUCcAEH55f.jpg:large

[SpecialQue]

There's always the chance, because sports analysts are stupid assholes.

Remember...Melo got a vote last season.

[MavsSuperFan]

KD's play would have to collapse that this point. 99% chance kd is the mvp

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Not really unless KD gets hurt or suffers a significant drop off on impact.

[Genaro]

Too many Lebron's stans on the media to say that it's already Durant's.
If Lebron does anything good and get the better record (even though he plays in a much worse conference) he'll get it.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Honestly, if the Heat would have taken Indian's #1 spot, then he would have a much better shot. Plus he had that stretch where he averaged only 20ppg for 3-4 games after the 61 game

[J Shuttlesworth]

Too many Lebron's stans on the media to say that it's already Durant's.
If Lebron does anything good and get the better record (even though he plays in a much worse conference) he'll get it.
Just about every media person I've seen on ESPN has said Durant is ahead for the MVP.

[fragokota]

Is he out for tonight's game?

[J Shuttlesworth]

LeBron is worst against Chicago, Houston, Indiana, Orlando, SA, Utah it seems.
Noah, Howard, Hibbert, Duncan, etc..

[coin24]

Lebron has stunk it up all season, no 5 or 6 game stretch is going to change that now.. KD=MVP..

[aj1987]

Lebron has stunk it up all season, no 5 or 6 game stretch is going to change that now.. KD=MVP..
LOL, wut? His current season, statistically, is better than all but one or two of Kobe's.


Unless Durant turns into PG and LeBron averaged 40 PPG for the rest of the season, there's no way in hell that he's winning it.

What else did Lebron tell you while he had you bent over?

[Smoke117]

Lebron could go on a truly dominant stretch and let's say the teams end up with the same record and Durant would still win it. He'll win it no matter what because of voter fatigue. Lebron's won 4 out of 5 of the last MVP's...he's not getting it no matter what.

That doesn't mean I don't think Durant deserves it...he absolutely does. I just think voter fatigue makes it a certainty.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yeah reg season is meaningless, rings is where it's at right?

So regular season does count... let's count MVPs

LeBron - 4
Kobe - 1
KD - 1 (as of this year)

So LeBron > Kobe = KD...

Doesn't work for me. We all know KD > Kobe. See my usertext.

LeBron > KD > Kobe

And piggy back rings don't count

[pauk]

If you go back from the start and look at the MVP race each week (NBA.com) you will see that Lebron/Durant were ahead of eachother in this fashion monthly:

October/November - 1. Lebron 2. Durant
December - 1. Lebron 2. Durant
January - 1. Durant (massive gap here) 2. Lebron
February - 1. Lebron 2. Durant
March - 10 games so far, Lebron was #1 at the start, then it quickly changed during that 5 game loss, KD is right now #1)

I dont think everybody really knows or appreciates how close this MVP race has been at this point really (except for January).... its maybe the closest MVP race we have seen in about 20+ years.... yes Lebron still has a chance, if Lebron goes after it these last few games he could do it...

But its more likely Lebron will sit out a couple of more games preparing for playoffs and even though there will be somewhat of a "voter fatigue" case this season aswell Kevin Durant would have still deserved it imo, nothing to ponder about there.

:biggums:

No it's not the closest in 20 years, it's obviously durant:facepalm

[Le Shaqtus]

Unless he goes on an insane stretch after he comes back from his back problems probably not, and even then he won't get it because Durant is playing too well.

[LongLiveTheKing]

KD is gunning for the MVP you can tell while Lebron and the Heat are coasting.

Of course he would care about winning the MVP. It won't mean as much as a ring as far as his legacy goes but it still counts a lot.
