Official NBA League MVP Discussion Thread

We should just make a stickied MVP Discussion Thread

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.

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.

Kevin Durant in a landslide.

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.

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.

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.

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.
