LeBron has been playing great this season.  Not only can he score points and play defense, but he is also a great team player.  I think he is the MVP this year. What do you thinK?

yes!!! lebron has 4 or 5 triple doubles this year. this shows that he works on all ends of the court. he scores well, he passes for the assists, he rebounds constantly, and he blocks shots for defense. you cant ask for more. not to mention hes 21. Nash and Kobe all deserve their credit but i feel that lebron is a better player. kobe is all about himself so he can score 40 in a game but has only like 2 assists. lebron scores 40 and has 11 assists. the only other person besides lebron that should even come close to getting the MVP award is Nash but it still should be lebron.

there is no way u take Paul over wade....what has Paul done in his life? yes he is on a bad team but he still isn't that great, he is good but not great, wade is great. he has already got a ring and is a leader on the court, he took the heat (who were not supposed 2 win the finals) all the way there and when they were down 2 games he took over and killed the mavs (cough*i hate the mavs *cough) wade has a long time left and will just keep getting more and more experienced and better

This question is asked about a thousand times a day by every sports writer in the country, LeBron or Kobe?  You can make a case for either player for the MVP, Kobe has had a spectacular season, posting numbers that haven't been seen since Jordan was on the courts.  Plus dropping 81 points in a game early this season, that was amazing.  But Kobe only cares about Kobe, he may be a great player, but he doesn't make his teammates better, there lies the difference between him and LeBron.  LeBron can score at will just like Kobe, and control/dominate a game like Kobe, but LeBron averages over 6 assists and 6 rebounds a game, Kobe doesn't.  LeBron plays team basketball, Kobe doesn't.  That will be the difference in the voting.

Everybody in the league is eligible for the prestigious award. Dirk has definetely had a good season putting the Mavs right behind the Spurs for 2nd place in the Western Conference for now. Unfortunately, their have been players that have been putting up bigger numbers, such as Kobe, Lebron, and Steve Nash. He may win it eventually, though. He has the potential. Hopefully the Mavs will do well in the playoffs.

I definitely think Steve Nash deserved it this year. It was stupid that the LA fans was chanting MVP for Kobe Bryant. He's not the greatest player in the league, because Steve Nash is one of the few guards that truly make everyone around him better (the other guys are probably Kidd and James). But Nash also has the record and determination as well as the lack of height and atheleticism to show for it.

I think he is  a very good basketball player. He is one of the best basketball players today. People get to stop judging his playing abilities on what he does off court and what his does on court.

LeBron is so great because he can put up 30+ points, 7+ rebounds, and 8+ assists on any given night. MJ was and still is the best player out there but LeBron is catching up to him. If you look at LeBron's stats in his rookie year and then last year and compare it with MJ's, you'll find that LeBron is better all-around but MJ is better scoring. Remember, LeBron is doing all this and HE IS YOUNGER THAN MOST NBA ROOKIES!\nIf MJ joined the NBA out of high school like LeBron, then this would be a different story. Next year, LeBron has the possibility to be one of the greats.

Steve Nash, Lebron James, and Kobe seem to be the front runners for the MVP.  I also think Lebron should win it, and that he is the only reason the Nest winning streak ended.

The 2006 in my opinion was a very good year for the NBA. The Dunk Contest being brought back to life with Nate Robinson and Iguodoa (not sure on the spelling). The night Kobe scored 81 points. Most people look at that night as selfishness, but when a player is hot, you do not stop passing him the ball. If I was on his team or his coach and he kept making baskets why stop passing him the ball? This isn't Jr High basketball where moms are going to complain to you saying they wanted to see their son shoot the ball. This is the pros and if you want to win you cannot stop a hot shooter. Steve Nash helped the suns once again be the top scoring team in the nation which he has done for the past 3 years. Kobe Bryant scoring over 40 points a game for like 4 games in a row or something like that. And I was anxious to see Detroit get over 70 wins but they didnt make it that far :( . Also seeing the playoffs this year has been good so far. It seems to be alot more physical this year which is bad and good but more teams are more desperate to win which makes watching the playoffs more interesting.

That's what the f*#k I'm talking bout... and for people that say Wade is the best, they only say that s**t cause they turn one the TV and see him right now...  they either have never played organized basketball, don't remember the Laker 3 peat, or they just got the mind of an impressionable 10 year old little kid...  and the MVP stands for the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER...  if your going to give it to the player that makes his team better...  give it to LeBron, not Nash...  wins ain't got nothing to do with the MVP.  It's supposed to go to the player that had the best year... that was Kobe...  END OF DISCUSSION !!!!

It is possible. For one thing, look at his age. He has a ton of quality years ahead of him. Also, did Jordan or Bryant have the success and recognition that Lebron had in high school? Further, did either of them go straight to pro ball out of high school? To answer your question, if he stays healthy I think he will.

I would rather have LeBron on my team. He is younger, scores more, sets people up with shots, and is a great leader unlike Nowitzki who yells at his teammates. \n\nLeBron would win 1 on 1. He's stronger and would drive by and dunk on Dirk every time. Dirk would settle for J's and they may not fall. He has the size advantage, but LeBron is too much of a competitor to get beat by anyone. \n\nDirk - Great 3 - point shooter, good jump shooter. He chokes at the end of games it seemed like in the playoffs. Struggling to make big shots. \n\nLeBron - he can get to the hoop and finish anytime he wants. He led the NBA in and 1 shots. He was one of two players to make 100 threes and 100 dunks.(shawn marion) He is a great leader, he already leads the Cavs at 21 years old. He makes big plays in the fourth quarter, he was criticized for not making game winning shots but he'll score all throughout the 4th quarter when his team needs it. He'll give you more minutes. His weak point is his jump shooting. He's not bad, but if he masters it, he'll be the best player anyone's ever seen.

For LeBron to find true success, he needs someone in the low post.  A dominant center (not a center by committee like the Mavericks) like Shaq.  Old school---like Kareem.  Nowadays--Shaq.  Draft Player---Big Baby from LSU.

Lebron is there. Lbj is him. I agree with the team though i thought those where the best players this year at their posistions.

That game was GREAT! The Cavs weren't doin so hott in the first half, but they came back after halftime! LeBron is great! He,again, broke another record.\n\nI like the Wizards,though,too,and they played a pretty good game.You gotta hand it to them.\n\nBut the Cavs are better and they're gonna win that series! Right now, they're 2-1.Only one more game til they head back home.

He should have won the MVP. No one will give him the respect that he deserves. He's about to beat the best team in the league, and make it into the Finals. People are starting to give him some respect, but he deserves more.

Whether he deserved it or not, you know the NBA is going to do everything they can to market Lebron. They really need him to become the next Michael Jordan to save the game of basketball from fading away like the NHL!
