Who do you think should win?? There are many MVP candidates and there are many deserving nba players out there right now, who do you think it is? I personally think either Kevin Garnett or Lebron James. KG is a great rebounder but hasn't put up his game for the past few games and Lebron James is a great player during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters but isn't doing much in the 4th due to fatigue. I think LBJ is doing too much work for the cavs and KG isn't doing enough for the Timberwolves. Thats my opinion, again, who do YOU think's gonna win??? DONT SAY STEVE NASH!!!!!!!!

Most def Steve Nash is gonna win. Look at his numbers. 19 ppg and 11 apg. That's bananas. And look at PHX record. 42-18. Just imagine what they could've done if Amare was healthy. Probably would be better then the Pistons. But Nash has lifted his team by himself to the top of the league.

Its obviously Iverson. First off, the rest of the players have some sort of backup they can go to. LeBron has Larry Hughes to fall back on as well as Ilgauskas, Kobe has Lamar Odom, and Dwade has many players, Shaq, Williams, Posey. Iverson..who does he have? Eric Snow? not reliable. It is a close race between Iverson and LeBron tho, LeBron does help his team with his presence, averaging a lot of assists while maintaining 6+ assists per game. Iverson is very similiar, however he has no one to really help out.

1) It will be detroit and Dallas...in the finals but each team has hard road getting there...other possiblilities are the Heat and the Spurs or the Nets and Pheonix...\n\n2) Kobe "ball hog" bryant is the best player you will ever see in this generation...so get over yourself...he makes his whole team better, look it up...but to answer your question, yes, they are currently the seventh seed in the West...a few games ahead of Sacramento and a few games back of Memphis...\n\n3) Grant Hill is so f'd up with his 100000 injuries that he decided that he needed to admit himself to a nursing home, and that's where he's been ever since...\n\n4) Dwayne will not take the MVP trophy simply for one reason...Shaq...with him on their team Wade will never win a MVP trophy...plus there are better players more deserving of it out there...Chauncy Billups, Steve Nash, Elton Brand, Kobe "MVP" Bryant, Vince Carter...

My votes for the East would go to Dwyane Wade and Jason Kidd (who is playing out of his mind right now) at guard, LeBron James and Vince Carter at forward, and Shaquille O'Neal at center.  While in the East, I would vote for Chris Paul (though I know Tracy McGrady will eventually get this spot), Kobe Bryant at guard, Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan at forward, and Yao Ming at center.  I predict that Dwyane Wade will bring home the All-Star game MVP trophy.\n\nAs for the All-Star game festivities:  I feel that both Wade and Nowitzki will defend their Skill Challenge and Three Point crown respectively.\n\nHope this helps.

I think Kobe Bryant or Steve Nash should have the MVP title this year. Steve Nash has really maintained the Suns' rankings even though Amare was injured, but Kobe has been doing his best to involve his teammates as much as possible and he has set some records this year too. For me, Kobe is still the MVP for this season because he completely plays in a different level compared to other players. Steve Nash is second...

I'm a "temporary" Heat fan, wanting Shaq to whoop the CRAP outta' Dirk! Go SHAQ--WOOT WOOT! LoL. In all seriousness? I think they can take it--no duo has played better in the playoffs  than Dwayne and Shaq. Plus, I'd love to see Mourning,Peyton, and Walker finally get rings after such long careers. GO HEAT! =)

Maybe they've been "considered" for MVP, never will they be awarded the trophy. The only reason they'll consider a player from a non-playoff contending team is they'll look at most likely, the last half of the season, and check out that players superior stats, versus how his team did in that span. A team can lose the first 40 games of the season, then turn around and win the last 40 games.... when they won the last 40 they could've had a player single-handedly boost them into an "almost" playoff spot. Maybe the player's averaged 40 pts, 12 rebounds, 10 assists...(extreme example). He was able to bring his crappy team into the NBA spotlight by going on a 2nd half season tear. But for now, don't get a headache, a VERY extreme circumstance would have to happen before a player from a crappy team gets awarded the MVP. And it won't happen.

Most of the players a lot of you have named could be considered overrated, but why?  \n\nMichael Redd?  Just because the Bucks gave him a max contract, it doesn't make him overrated.  It makes him overpaid.  It makes the Bucks look a little less than smart...not stupid though, because Redd is a pretty good player.\n\nNow...to the guy that asked the question.  I've seen a few of your answers from other questions.  I believe you are a certifiable LeBron James hater.\n\nLeBron is 21 years old and he's doing some truly, truly in incredible things.  Look at his numbers, 33 ppg, 7 rpg, 6 apg.  Name one 21 yr. old player at his position, in history, that has done the things he has accomplished?  Only Magic had the team concept down at such a young age, but he wasn't this good at 21.....neither was Bird, or Jordan.\n\nHis understanding of team involvement, meanwhile dominating is incredible....imagine Scottie Pippen in Karl Malone's body.  Then mix the skills.  Yes...he is almost that big and strong - on top of the athleticism and speed of a modern 2 guard.  Now he is being able to come thru in the clutch, which was his one knock.  Again....he is just 21.\n\nBut anyways......your question was who I thought was overrated.\n\nI can point to quite a few guys....but the ones who stand out are: Kevin Garnett, Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson.\n\nI love KG...but it's like he has teflon on him.  No one wants to say what needs to be said about him.  He's a warrior, but to a fault.  He demands effort, and if you don't give it....he will cast you down as a pariah right away.  Instead of finding a way to communicate...to encourage... he shuts down and gets steamed up.  He's a great, first ballot HOF player.....but he's had the talent around him to make some decent runs in the playoffs.  Yes, he produces...but is it the kind of production that inspires.....and puts an entire team over the hump....that makes you want to step up to his level?  Not really and it shows.  Show me 5 instances of him coming thru in the clutch.....in his entire career.\n\nStephon Marbury fancies himself a great PG.  He is very good, but he loves his numbers more.  He has all the skills to be great...a franchise guy...he always has.  But at some point...you have to see the greater good of the team over your own wants and needs.  He questions any coach that questions him, and instead of making himself better and more productive...he sulks or he goes to a camera and complains.  He also hasn't been the greatest teammate either.\n\nKobe is one of the top 2 or 3 guys in the league, but he is a team wrecker and one of the most selfish players in league history.  He has the power to really inspire and really uplift the play of everyone on his team.....to create something positive.  He has chosen to do none of the above.  He has chosen to score without regard for any man, child, or woman.  If he was a porn actor, he would the one trying to have sex with 50 women in 50 minutes.  Watch any LA games.  Phil Jackson can usually be seen looking nauseaous on the Laker bench.

The votes are already in.  It won't be officially announced for a couple weeks probably, but there are reports out that Steve Nash has won it.  Besides, Kobe doesn't deserve the award, he led the Lakers to a seventh seed and doesn't make his teammates better, that's not the definition of an MVP.

Lebron James no question! He's the best offensive player to ever play already. (offense meaning more than just scoring he has good assist and rebound numbers)He takes so much pressure off of his team mates the way defenses key on him. Carmelo is just a scorer. Once Lebron starts playing D it will be amazing.

Best player or most dominant. We don't have a Magic or a Bird right now. \nBest player: Nash\nMost dominant: Garnett

In response to Chess...LeBron isn't overrated. For some reason you think he is but that is completely wrong. As others have stated Motown was just too good of a team for the Cavs to beat. Once the Cavs get another decent player and they develop as a team the could be the equivelant to the early 90's Bulls.

I think the MVP should not be decided until at least the end of the first round. Firstly if you cant get you team in the final you shouldnt be MVP and secondly the first round could be a confirmation of the play during the season.\n\nThe winner of the Suns vs Lakers games would be enought for me to judge show should have won between Kobe or Nash. Or if Lebron explodes in the first leg of the final then we could choose lebron

Iguodala is gonna win it. His dunks are not only acrobatic but are incredibly strong. YOu can see this if you watch just how fast the ball goes through the rim as he dunks. AI 2.0!

Dwayne Wade followed by Steve Nash... LeBron James is NOT a guard...=)\n\nMain reason why Wade is way ahead of Kobe Bryant:\n--- He has done something Kobe Bryant never managed to accomplish, that is to fullfill his teammates lifelong dreams. Kobe doesnt have what it takes to win the 2004 crown for his hall-of-famer teammates Karl Malone and Gary Payton, while Dwyane Wade carried the likes of Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton to their 1st ever championship. WITH THAT SAID, nobody can now say that Kobe Bryant is better than Dwyane Wade.\n\nWhy Steve Nash is only second despite being MVP for 2 consecutive seasons:\n--- simply because he doesnt have a ring yet! But everyone must agree that without him, Phoenix would not even have made it to the playoffs this year, not to mention conference finals appearance!

I agree with you completely. They were talking about how Steve Nash had to do it without Amare, and all that crap, he still had Marion. LeBron also played without Hughes, and I think people forgot about that. LeBron got robbed.

I think Andre should have won. The other guy took 13 or 14 tries to get his dunk off. the dunk over spud web was great but that was the only great thing he did. Everybody knows AI should have won. Andre was almost flawless in the contest. HE should have done something more spectacular for his last dunk, but he was probably thinking that he had to just get a dunk in cuz he already won. Since they cheated he didnt. UGH!!! i think the should invite him back next year
