DC, you don't think D12 had it that year Rose won it?

I mean you can always make a case for a group of players. You could have made a case for Rose, Dwight, or LeBron. I think LeBron didn't get the award because of "other" things.

The man that cannot commit a foul meets the man nobody is allowed to touch lol.... Entertain me!

 

[Master Zik]

I figured this would be a blow out by now but it seems this will be one those disappointing LAL losses.

 

[shoeking2101]

Random but Kobe has aged really well. Not even talking about how good he still is, but he still for the most part looks like his 17 year old self.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Chalmers
Wade
Battier
Lewis
Haslem


THat's what you end the quarter with Spoelstra? :x

 

[dmbrhs]

I agree. It is LeBron's award to lose. I still say they gave it to Rose that year since they were mad at LeBron for the Decision fiasco.

I'm fine with Rose's MVP. There was no clear cut winner that year. But now, it's just not even close.

He still only 34, though.
I agree. Kidd aged horribly

 

[Bert.]

This is gonna be like 1993 all over again. People sick of voting for LeBron, so they'll give it to KD because of OKC's record and whatnot. LeBron is just on another level though. It's absurd how well he's playing, on both ends.

NAHH

they love Lebron, if he deserves it he will get it everytime.

Kobe and td got great fundamentals. Both are efficient and don't need to rely on athleticism to be productive

 

[big j 33]

You guys think dwight reached his ceiling?

Yes. Even if he was fully healthy, his improvements the past few years haven't been substantial enough to think he'll make any kind of drastic improvement. 

He won't reinvent himself as a jump shooter, his footwork probably won't improve that much, and unless he bulks up (and lose part of his athleticism) he isn't going to start pounding away in the post. If and when he gets fully healthy, the best case is he'll be an elite defensive game changer who can get you 20 points a game but not a reliable offensive option in the clutch.

We ain't talking about their skills, B.

 

[solarius49]

Considering their college careers, are Mario Chalmers, Tyler Hansbrough and JJ Reddick Basketball Hall of Famers?

 

[rook]

Howard should be pissed off.

Lakers didnt even look his way basically the entire 2nd quarter

 

[T0INE]

Considering their college careers, are Mario Chalmers, Tyler Hansbrough and JJ Reddick Basketball Hall of Famers?

No.

 

[quik1987]

Dwight 2013/2014

Son's obsession with accessories makes me sometimes.

 

[CP1708]

Bill with a Fast & Furious reference!!!!!

Magic begging for more drama. Jesus.

What we were talking about his looks not his skill

Someone get Jalen Rose off of television man.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

The ESPN crew is ******g garbage. All of them corny as hell.

 

[flyerthandelta]

Sound like a fool saying TP should be MVP over LeBron it's not even close, yeah TP is having an MVP type season but I wouldn't even put him over KD let alone Bron

A Fool? Really? It's foolish to say the best player on the best team in the NBA at present is the MVP?

Foolish? Oh Okay

Come on man, If you are a true follower of the NBA, then there's no way that that train of thought is FOOLISH.

He has no other all stars (Still a good supporting cast though. None like Lebron or KD though) and has led his team to the best record in the L.

But it's foolish?

Ok too harsh on that word, statiscally Lebron may be having the best yr ever across the board it's really a landslide unless KD can finish with the best record in the league

 

[shox23]

Considering their college careers, are Mario Chalmers, Tyler Hansbrough and JJ Reddick Basketball Hall of Famers?

No.

They might be based of their NCAA merits it's not the NBA hall of fame

 

[pmatic]

I'm surprised Jalen didn't drop an obscure Big Daddy Kane reference. There's still time though, I guess.

 

[albert pull hoz]

Yes. Even if he was fully healthy, his improvements the past few years haven't been substantial enough to think he'll make any kind of drastic improvement.

Crazy how hes never improved his offensive game all these years

Biggest dude on the court with his athleticism cant dominate on the daily

No.

...wut

What is so crazy about that? Its not the NBA Hall of Fame, and those are all time great college players

Especially Hansbrough
