2008 NBA MVP Award?

Whos going to get MVP this season?

My top candidates are:

Kobe, LeBron, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson. Dwight Howard is a longshot, but hes still playing good basketball and is a big reason the Magic are having a good season.

2008 NBA MVP Award?nba all star

My rankings are : Kobe, Lebron, Chris Paul, KG, and Dwight Howard.

In the past Kobe has been dubbed as a selfish player and a ball hogg but this year he has rounded out his game to the next level. Making the players around him better and adding the assist and steals catagories to his game. No question Lebron is having an amazing year however, a true MVP should be able to increase the playing level of his team mates and he is having a hard time doing that. He needs to make the players around him better. Chris Paul has no doubt been the heart and soul of the Hornets but he is still yound and has a lot to learn about the game, him winning the MVP is something that is not out of the question but he still has some growing to do before he reaches his prime, he has a lot of potential though. KG simply because of his strive to win. And Dwight Howard is showing us glimses of a Shaq to be. His dominance on thew offensive end and his ability to prove to his own coach that his deffense is as strong will lead him to be one the most dominant players to play the game and yet just lke lebron he needs the ability to make the players around him better and like Chris Paul he has some growing to do.

What about steve nash hes the best Report It


It's either Kobe or LeBron.

Paul has been great but not as great. Also not much spotlight in NO.

KG has been solid but not MVP like. With 2 other stars in Pierce and Allen in lineup KG needs much bigger numbers.

AI has also been great but Carmelo is just as important to that team,

Dwight Howard will someday compete for MVP. Just not this year.

I vote:

1-Kobe

2-LeBron

3-Paul
I have either Kobe or KG.

Chris Paul now is included. He had a performance against the Suns awhile back in a double OT game that proved he's on that next level.

I know he doesn't get any consideration now, but in the future Chris Bosh may become dominant...
Steve Nash isn't on there, ur crazy.
Kobe: No contest
I think Narbeh makes some valid points. I think Kobe has a strong chance now that the Lakers are one of (if not) the best teams in the league. However, now that Lebron has Wally and Ben Wallace, the Cavs could take their game to the next level. No one competes with Lebron in stats -- he is the most efficient and dominant player when one looks at pts, rebs and asssits. I even created a site because I am such a Lebron fan and I am hoping this is his year to win the MVP. http://www.nbamvprace.com. Based on the voting, it appears Kobe has more fierce/loyal fans. Currently, Kobe is outpacing Lebron in votes 2-1. We'll see at the end of the season.
Kobe will win !Its his time and he by far the best player on the best team right now!!
kobe
Kobe Bryant for me.
I think if New Orleans makes the playoffs and goes past the first round - Chris Paul should get some consideration. He has really turned the team around and has given the team the respect that they deserve.
if this new cavs trade works out and they start winning more games and Lebron keeps getting triple-doubles.

then it will be Lebron.
KB24

Hands Down
It should definitely go to Kobe or Chris Paul. The two most unstoppable players at their positions.
CP3 if he plays like this through playoffs.

Kobe if Lakers go to Finals!
hmm CP3 OR L-Train :)
Chris Paul right now is the #1 guy in my book.

pato - youre funny.

maybe theyre waiting for a non eventful day to announce it to keep the drama. so far games have been good generally so theres no point as far as nba org is concerned to hurry a much anticipated announcement.
It will be announce during the 1st round playoff!

Keep on refreshing your browser in NBA.com and ESPN.com

Kobe is the MVP!
As soon as Kobe tell them that he is ready!!
I said today or tomorrow.
In may or end may
IT DOSNT MATTER KOBY BRNT IS THE 2008 MPV!!1

GO KOBY!!
Kobe already won MVP it for the next 5 years. Does that answer your question?

Who is your pick for the NBA's MVP?

i say Steve Nash. he has contributed to much for his team and they have been winning games, and they have proven that even tho Dallas has the better record, Phoniex is the better team. ppl say kobe should win because of his numbers but MVP is not only for numbers its for the way you lead your team and help them win and go to the NBA Finals. you can tell kobe aint a leader because if he was he wouldnt care if did or didnt pass wilt chamberlain for consecutive 50+ point games. but kobe wanted to be in the books and only cared for himself. thats my opinion. So i say Steve Nash for MVP!

Who is your pick for the NBA's MVP?nba 07

nash does not deserve 3 mvps in a row, didnt even deserve it last year. Dirk is the MVP this year

Who is your pick for the NBA's MVP?sports tickets ,nba teams

I'm a Phoenix Suns fan and i have to agree with you 100% Steve Nash is the Best From The West. He is the last 2 years MVP and deserve to be it again for this year he is a great shooter especially from outside and can pass the ball to Amare for the dunk or Marion for the Jay. He averages 19 points a game with 12 assists per game. He is a straight up baller who deserves MVP screw Dirk he has had all the chances in The world.
Steve Nash!
i think the suns would last without Nash, and the Mavs would last without Dirk...but the Lakers wouldn't without Kobe
Can you say 3peat. Go Nash.
Amare Stoudemaire is the MVP!
Nash is the most valuable. Nowitzki should also be in the running. Yao would have been in there had he not gotten hurt, but he is not as valuable to the Rockets as Nash is the the Suns, even though he has fantastic stats.
I think it comes down to VORP: Value Over Replacement Player. In other words, which team is better: Dallas with an average player in place of Dirk Nowitzki, or Phoenix with an average player in place of Steve Nash?

On the other hand, if it inspires another Nelly Furtado song, and especially another video, I say give Nash another MVP award. I'll bet she's glad she came from Nash's home town and not Dirk's. You ever try to find a rhyme for "Nowitzki"? Or "Ginobili"?
Steve Nash has taken Nowitzki's number in every single matchup this season. Nash is simply amazing.

I don't think he deserved the first MVP but he definitely deserves it this year.
hands down nash
As much as I don't like to admit it, it should be Steve Nash. The Suns aren't even a playoff team without Steve Nash. In fact, they're 2-4 without Steve Nash this season, with one of those 4 losses to the Atlanta Hawks, at home!

They're an avg team, at the very best without Steve Nash. It really all depends on how you view the award. The Heat are also not a good team without Shaq (18-22 without Shaq this season, and 10-13 last season without Shaq). Yes, Steve Nash should get the award.
Definately Steve Nash on the basis on what he does for his team. Without him, they are horrible. I guess you can say the same about the Cavs and LeBron, but I feel it's going to be Nash yet again.
I love Steve Nash, but it is Dirk's turn this year.

# 41 all the way!

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?

Who Do You Think Should Be MVP? I Think LeBron James

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?nba score

Dirk Nowitzki, best player on the best team. He is out for blood this year, and will stop at nothing to get that ring.

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?jerseys ,nba teams

I think D-Wade. After his injury, the HEAT have been unstoppable because of his GREAT play!
anyone but Dirk.... he's a Nazi from Germany.....

i wish Lebron would get it..... GO CAVS!
My favorite basketball player is Steve Nash. and i think he should get it just look at his stats... but in the other hand there is dirk he is one of the best players in the Best team so maybe he shoudl get it. I would personally love that Steve Nash would get MVP for the 3rd time.=]
DIRK DIRK DIRK...nash is outplayed...if he gets a 3rd..i will stop caring for the nba...
NASH
Dwight Howard
KOBE BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
as much as he deserves it, nash wont get a 3rd mvp, and kobe is too inconsistant to get it. if youre going for the true, most valuable player (rather than best player, which it has been going to in all sports lately, big difference) it has to go to kobe. if its best player, then logically its the best player on the best team, which gives it to dirk.
stevie
personally i would have loved to make the argument for dwayne wade but his injury was jus a big road block in his season. now based only on statistics it should be steve nash. shooting over 90% from the free throw line, leading the league in assists, and scoring close to 20 points a game. he has truly proved himself as a lethal weopon. based on leadership and a remarkable season dirk nowitzki. shooting the best numbers in his life and jus leading his team to first spot not jus in the western conference but in the nba overall it should be awarded to him.
i would want kobe bryant but there has never been a mvp with a team his team only 41-40 record so dirk i think will win it because how he has been playing and how his teamates follow
LeBron is good but look @ Nash's stats.18.8 ppg,11.5 apg,and 3.3 rpg,wich is great for a PG.So Nash.

NBA MVP votes - who decides?

Exactly who decides who becomes MVP, is is the fans ?

NBA MVP votes - who decides?nba live

It's determined by a hand-picked panel of sportswriters.

The fans do NOT have input, except by way of public opinion and any influence that may have on an individual writer or broadcaster.

Here's a link that explains it well...

NBA MVP votes - who decides?tv on pc ,nba teams

The fans don't decides who become MVP just like the fans has no say on who should be elected into any Hall Of Fame...

Usually its the coaches and sportswriter..

For the The NBA MVP its the sport writers not just any..most of whom has played the game or coach it.
Choose her as a best, even I didn't know about that. You deserve ten ( Terri Yak )

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...

who do you guys think the best nba player is right now?

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...nba history

The best player in the NBA will not be given the MVP thanks to stupid media

Kobe is the best player in the game but he'll never win the MVP because of all the hate for him out there in the media

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...nba trade ,nba teams

i most def agree with PJ that the best player is kobe and he wont get it because this whole think about him and the trade claus.
well its hard to determine right now that the season just started for right now im goin with lebron james. Now i say Lebron because he is defiently overdue but he is showing so far this year or at least 2 games THAT IS IS mvp LIKE. Kobe in my opinion is overated thats just my look
Kobe Bryant is the MVP and has been for years. Everybodys just so blind to the fact that hes the best after KING JORDAN. I think everybody puts his personal matters in account for his image as a player, and even as a fan of Kobe I have to question some of his actions. As for on the court nobody compares. He plays both ends of the court with dominance. He'll embarrass the biggest of big men and tell them to GET OUTTA HERE!!! With Authority!! KOBEZ#1 WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!
Well, Kobe should have won it last year, but the fact that the Lakers as a team were in the 7th seed last season, it was rightfully given to Dirk.

This year, though, with all the support he's getting from EVERYONE on the Lakers' roster, they'll be at least in the 4th seed. Kobe's year for sure.

If not Kobe this year, then most definitely Garnett or Duncan.
kevin garnett
Lebron James. He is so freakin overdue.
Lebron James no doubt about it.
So far... Kevin Garnett. He is pretty much anchoring the only undefeated team. But of course he has help, but the offense goes through him first
Tim Duncan no doubt
How can you say Kobe Bryant is the best in the league? Let Duncan Nash or Dirk take the amount of shots Kobe does and they will prob avg 40 pts a game. Kobe is a shoot first pass errr take that back shoot 2nd and 3rd then pass. KG will get the MVP this season as long as the Celtics continue this tear their on.
kevin martin.. look at his points men...
Steve Nash
Kevin Garnet

No Question!
Carmello is lookin good. Also Steve Nash is pretty good too. Im not sure.
Some contenders are Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan (Though I don't like to admit it), list goes on and on (Nash is my choice but that is 'cause I am a Suns fan)

Kobe Bryant is a contender but his off the court actions and on the court actions sometimes take away from him. He has show-off days when he scores and scores and scores... Anyways, MVP means Most Valuable Player and Kobe Bryant is not the most valuable (he is up there with salary though ;-))because a valuable player doesn't diss his teammates whether he likes them or not. Makes his teammates look good as well as himself. Can help his team overcome hard situations if needed. ETC.
i dunno, but go warriors!!!!!!

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?

How come Lebron james is getting mvp consideratins.Why not Allen Iverson. The nuggets have a better record.

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?nba draft

i just asked myself the same question, why is that bum being considered when there's so many other people deserving of the attention

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?ncaa ,nba teams

its going to be Al Thorton cuz Clippers r #1
I vote-

Carmelo Anthony

Allen Iverson

Marcus Camby

Kenyon Martin

JR Smith

GO NUGGS! coolest mascot in all sports!!
because he is a crowd favorite.
They're good but the real MVP is Kobe Bryant
because he hekps the team more and isnt a ball hog
AI is nasty and deserves MVP!
LEBRON
Iverson has Melo, Camby, JR Smith and Martin backing him James doesnt have much and he can single handenly beat any team.
LeBron James is the King of the NBA. Allen Iversons days are passed, but the MVP should go to Chris Paul. He is unstoppable, next John Stockton (except black) and he single handedly brought back the New Orleans Hornets Franchise where it diserves to be.
well if u really seee that the nba has great players but they dont step up the one who really step up are kobe #1 , lebron #2 , and chris pual number #3 but the best one of my choice is kobe bryant they will get thier player's back and blow offf the stage in tha playofffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
they are both great players but this years mvp is KB24
Because LeBron IS his team. Without him, they win twenty games tops. Allen Iverson has another legitimate allstar on his team who can shoulder the load if he has an off night. LeBron has no such player. LeBron has to perform at an godlike level every night to pull out the win. AI's already won MVP anyway, and his stats aren't as good as LeBron's.
KOBE...no questions asked.
Because Lebron is the NBA's Golden Child. he will more then likely end up 3rd in MVP voting because of hype.
