My nod goes to Kevin Durant. He's putting up great numbers and his team is winning; they have the second best record in the NBA (behind my Bulls, of course). Lebron may be putting up better all-around numbers, but Miami has been struggling of late. My only argument for Kevin Love over Durant would be that Love might be more vital to his team's success. Minnesota is hovering around .500 and they're only 2.5 games out of the 8th playoff spot in the West, but if Love wasn't there they wouldn't be anywhere near that. I think that the Thunder would maybe have ten less wins without Durant, and with that they would still be 29-22. Love's numbers are ridiculous, too. He's averaging almost 27 points and 14 rebounds a game! Those are definitely MVP type numbers. Meanwhile, Durant is averaging a shade under 28 points per game with about 8 rebounds. I can't argue against that. While I would love to say that Love should win it, Durant definitely deserves it, and the fact that his team is doing so well makes him much more likely to win it. If I were to vote, I would give it to Durant.
Hey, didn't he win the All-Star Game MVP as well? I wonder how many times a player has won both the ASG MVP and the regular season MVP in the same season. I'll look it up, and maybe I'll post my findings.
That's my take.
And because of you're hate against him, you don't put the nba's leading scorer in discussion, kobe bryant? He has had a new coach and a trade rumors of other players all year!
