TMAC isnt the MVP on his OWN team let alone the NBA.
Does Tracy McGrady belong in the MVP discussion?

Theyre winning as a team collectively. Not one player on the team stands out, they make their own contributions. TMAC isnt putting big numbers, there was atime earlier in the winning where he went a week without scoring 20 points in a game.

they also won when yao had a rough 3 games on the road. the point is if tmac is on the floor, he makes his team better. with tmac alone, this team can stillcompete at a high level. yes we have a better team that we can win when tmac struggles (unlike in recent years), but he's still our most indispensableplayer. when he struggles with his shot, he usually plays PG to get others involved.
without him, we're a .500 team. yes we played better as we went on, but 3 of those wins without tmac were against the knicks and wolves.

Ok how come Kobe isnt out of the discussion after losing to Tracy 2 days before? oh because he didn't have Pau....season isnt over...whats stopping therockets pulling another 10 games off or staying on top of the conference? Just let the season play out before you dismiss anyone...also what Tracy does for therockets goes beyond the stat line.

--TMac does belong in the discussion for 3 reasons:
--The streak. A majority of that was without Yao.
--He has won games with a team full od solid role players. They are no more, no less.
--TMac's name is not Kobe Bryant. No matter what Kobe does he shouldn't be discussed in MVP convos. Because he's never gonna win. Period.
--So, Tmac prolly has a legitimate chance with that 22 win streak being the biggest story of the season and all.

Them not having to play lame Eastern Conference teams. Look who they played the whole month of Feb. They played 2 playoff teams and I dont count ATL becausetheyre like 10 games below .500. They wont beat any Western Conference playoff team in a 7 game series, bet that.

Of course he should be a candidate, and is, but at the end of the season when it's all said and done I don't think he'll get it. It's betweenKobe, KG and Paul.

I dont understand some logic here. Ok, so they did play weaker teams on their 22 game win streak. You can use that arguement for say, like Memphis Tigers, onhow they went 33-1. Are we going to give them the number one spot, and all hell break lose? No, because you should win games like those in college basketball.But thats college. Were talking about the NBA. In the NBA, anybody, on any given night, can beat any team. These guys are professionals. They are the best ofthe best. Regardless of who they played, 22 games in a row is absolutely ridiculous. There is a reason why only three teams have had 20+ game winning streaks.Because it is a professional league. A league like the NBA means that any team, on any given night, can beat another team.
MVP discussion wise, T-Mac definitely deserves to have his name in there. But I dont think he will win it.

I agree, but the dude said "What's stopping them from pulling off 10 games in a row", you're right any team can beat any other team on anygiven night, but half of the teams they played are playing for Derrick Rose and Beasely so there's no effort on those teams parts. Atleast in college theyplay hard all the time and the talent discrepancy between Memphis and a South Central Northwestern St. is waaaay different than Houston and Memphis.

HELL NO
T-mac is inconsistent and has to lean on his teammates...if it wasn't for Rafer the streak would have ended at 19..maybe even earlier....the Laker gameshowed that.
T-mac's numbers are nowhere near CP3 LBJ OR KB24
My vote goes to...
