The "who should have been" MVP in the year...

[D-Wade316]

2010-2011: Dwight
2008-2009: Wade
2007-2008: CP3
2005-2006: Dirk
2002-2003: T-Mac

09 Lebrick>> 09 Wade. Deal wit it

[D-Wade316]

09 Lebrick>> 09 Wade. Deal wit it

Including the playoffs? Of course. But the MVP award is based on reg season performance. It must be given to a top-3 player no matter what team he was playing for. Lebron was clearly better than Dwight this year, but I believe Dwight should have won because he had to carry his team by himself. Same as 09 Wade.

09 Wade>>>>>>>>>>>09 Kobe

Deal with it.

2005-2006: Dirk

Pfft yeah right

Steve Nash:

19/4/11 on 51 44 92

Duncan was the correct choice in '03, same with Lebron in '09. Can't see anyone with an equal, much less better case for the award either year. Kobe was also the correct choice in '08, but I can't argue against Paul either. He was great as well.

Dirk actually did have a very good case in '06, I'm fine with someone picking him, Nash or Kobe that year.

2011 is tough. I'm fine with Dwight, Lebron or Dirk.

Other than that, Jordan in 1990 and 1997 and Shaq in 2001.

Derrick Rose didn't deserve MVP at all. And Shaq in 05? LOL wut?

Derrick Rose deserved MVP for the sole fact it made it that much more embarassing when the HEAT destroyed him in the ECF. They won 60+, anyway and nobody expected them to be first seed before the season started.

And yeah, Shaq was ROBBED of MVP in 2005. Even Nash said Shaq should have won. He totally changed the team culture in Miami and his confidence helped Wade become a better player.

[NugzHeat3]

Rose was crap all playoffs, even before LeBron locked him down. GTFO

Another LeBron ******ger. Why did I bother?

What exactly was Tracy McGrady "most valuable" to in 03? a 42 win team? 2 of which were won without him playing (and 6 lost without him). I understand his roster was crappy (and I agree) but his 74-game season combined with his team success just doesn't cut it... The Spurs in 2003, with MVP Duncan, went 36-5 after the AS break (including an 11 game win streak). Just a dominant team by the time the MVP awarding came around.

Duncan that season was:

Points - 6th
Rebounds - 3rd
Blocks - 2nd
Points Per Game - 7th
Field Goal % - 7th
Free Throw Attempts - 6th

He hit a few game-winners in the regular season too.
