parker won mvp in 2007

and this double standard needs to stop. people throw a nonfinals mvp duncan as best player in 07 just cause he got a ring

but you don't give the same credit to kobe in 09

whats it about? a guy you like with an agenda... or a factual criteria

Agreed with everyone of them aside from 2005. I would put TD in that spot.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe in 09-10 is severely underrated.

I give him the nod in 09 possibly 10 as well over Lebron.

Great regular seasons + amazing playoff performances & 2 FMVP in that stretch?

Give me Kobe 09 and 10

Parker won Finals MVP and he shouldn't have won it. Duncan was the best overall player that season, ring or no ring. He performed tremendously in the playoffs and he impacted the game on both sides which no other player that season did.

Duncan was their best player in the playoffs. Parker beat up on a rookie 2nd round PG. Im not discrediting Parker. But Duncan was a lot more important for that team. He shut the paint down every game.

So just because Spurs went with the mis-match (hobbled Eric Snow and rookie Daniel Gibson) and Parker had the better OFFENSIVE numbers in the Finals, he's the best player for the SEASON? That finals was won on controlling Lebron - Bowen on the perimeter and Duncan in the paint.

Duncan was All-NBA 1st team, All-Defensive 1st team and 4th in MVP voting in 07. Parker was nowhere near any of those honors.

Hate to break it to you, but Nash has never been the best player in the league.

Kobe, Lebron, and Wade are all debatable for the 2008-2009 season.

I'm a bit unsure about 2011 between Dwight and Lebron, but I'll just give it to Lebron.

Yeah 2011 is tough. I had Dwight as my MVP and Dirk was clearly the playoff MVP. Lebron was great most of the year but the huge Finals drop off leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[brownmamba00]

2011: Dirk

he was on a mission that year
