Hoopsworld on Dwight's MVP case

Quote:
 
He has truly lifted his team; without Howard this Magic team is counting their ping pong balls.

The Magic added Lewis during the summer and Turkoglu is having a great season, so Howard does have some help. But so do the others. Kevin Garnett has Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. Kobe Bryant has Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Lewis is a good player but not as good as the other players mentioned, and a lot of Turkoglu's success can be attributed to the growth Howard has shown this season.

He probably won't win it this year; the thought that he's a 22-year-old beast with many MVP awards in his future will almost certainly work against him. But if you consider what he's done for the Magic this year you'll see that he has more of a claim than Garnett, and just as much of a claim to the award as Kobe or Chris Paul; maybe more.


I don't think Dwight deserves the MVP this season, but I agree he at least needs to be in the conversation.

:yes:

Yeah, I don't think he deserves it by any means but he should be talked about at least.

It's going to be between Kobe, LeBron, and Paul. It has been, all season - except for a few months, when Garnett was getting a lot mention, and Dwight was getting some talk on the side.

Actually, Garnett was a preseason favorite.

There really should be two MVP awards, like in baseball. It sure would make things more fair and not cause so many snubs.

Eastern and Western MVPs, like the AL and NL in baseball.

If It was Eastern and Western awards, I'd have to go with Howard and Paul. As it is now, my top three are Paul, Bryant, and a tie between James and Howard.

Nice, I think I'd go with Dwight and CP3 as well.
