Top 3 Worst MVP Selections

Nash 2006
Dirk 2007[/QUOTE]

How is dirk 2007 a bad selection? It's a regular season award and he was the best player on the best team...

and LOL @ you not mentioning the obvious choise in Rose 2011

Anyone saying iverson was blatantly not watching bball back then:lol :facepalm

Rose is debatable, iirc there wasn't any other clear favourite though. He lead the bulls to the best record. Lebron embarrassed himself teaming up and dwight was defensive player of the year?

I fully agree with Malone though, Jordan got robbed

Who deserved it over Dirk in 2007?

Dirk averaged 25/9/3 on 61% TS and led his team to 67 wins. Was part of the 50/40/90 club. I'd like to know how that wasn't deserving in 2007.

[QUOTE=Flash31]yep,look at the stats for the other two MVP Candidtates in 2011

LeBron,Dwight
then look at Rose's

The only reason Rose won MVP is bc everybody hated LeBro,the whole media hated LeBron,they were tired of giving it to him,and bc it made a great story

and even then,Dwight also was better than D-Rose
Kevin Durant was as well,
Dwyane Wade was as well,
Chris Paul was as well

But apparently that year it was basically best player on highest ranked team and whatever makes a feel good story[/QUOTE]

or it was the fact that rose scored 28.5 points and 7 assists against the top 8 teams in the league. :confusedshrug: while having a winning record and winning 12 of their last 12 against those teams. :confusedshrug:

thats more than lebron or wade, plus the heat had a horrific losing record against those teams. :confusedshrug:

Yeah, and Dirk also beat the team who mollywhopped Rose's sorry 6% behind.

SMH at the dudes saying Dirk in this thread.

What does Dirk winning in the Finals and Rose's 6% in the playoffs have to do with what went down in the regular season?:biggums:

Dirk definitely deserved it. I dunno what these idiots are saying.

Lebron teamed up with Wade and Bosh and didn't have the best record in the East. Nothing else needs to be said there. Rose's team dominated the elite 8 in the league while Miami had a loosing record against them. Rose's team had two very big injuries. Why make it easier for Lebron when he and his friends formed a power house and managed to let a young Chicago team with one star have a better record than them. Plus Lebron said it was Rose's MVP.

DH was never in the conversation and would have been shut out in the voting if he wasn't approaching free agency. The guy had his team taken from him because the owner was called out by Lebron and then embarrassed by him while they watched Lebron go for 50 plus. So if you don't make a stand for your team and bosses you aren't going to get MVP. After that humiliation Lebron let it be known it should be Rose. Sorry, its just a brutal reality of life that nobody is going to reward you for not standing up when you should have. On top of that he didn't play too bright either.

Nobody else was really close. Rose won by a huge landslide, one of the bigger ones in recent memory, and rightfully so. And later on we see that leadership is something that you can't take for granted. All of the guys you named above went to new teams and simply underachieved big time with big time talent around them. All showed a need for leadership and the inability to come together for the team above all else.

As much as Dirk losing to the Warriors does.

Howard led his team to a 4th seed. Lebron teamed up with 2 other stars, one of whom was arguably just as good as him, but led his team to a lesser record then Rose, who was missing two of his three best teammates for 23 and 34 games, and Lebron was also embarrassingly bad in the clutch and in closing out games with many teams making big 3rd/4th quarter comebacks against the Heat. Rose's MVP wasn't even close to a bad selection. Maybe it was a weak MVP year, but it wasn't a bad selection. Its was pretty consistent with the voting of previous MVPs.

Yeah nothing wrong with picking Rose for MVP that year.

Lebron
Lebron
Lebron
Lebron
Lebron
Lebron

Wait, he hasn't won that many. Sorry, confused him with the GOAT Bill Russel.

Nothing. Rose deserved MVP.
