Early MVP candidates

[Ridders]

Dirk Nowitzki - (Dallas 19-4)

24.7 points (56 FG%), 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists

Deron Williams - (Utah 17-8)

22.2 points (47 FG%), 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 1.3 steals

Dwight Howard - (Orlando 15-8)

21.5 points (57 FG%), 12.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2.43 blocks.

That'd probably be my top 3 atm.

 

[andrew057]

Amare at the moment.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Derrick Rose according to Bulls fans :lol:

 

[andrew057]

Amare at the moment.

Amare Stoudemire - (New York Knicks 15-9)

26.1 points (53.2 FG%), 9.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 blocks

 

[betcats]

Amare is playing insane atm, so is Drose, dude is shooting threes now, lookout.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

How bout Tony Parker? Plyaing lowest minutes for a few years but still averaging career-best assist numbers while leading the Spurs to the best record in the NBA (and their best start in franchise history).

 

[Goldthorpe]

I think Dirk would be leading the race at the moment.

 

[aqua_duck]

Derrick Rose according to Bulls fans :lol:

He'll definitely be in contention for all NBA 1st honours
25.1 ppg
4.3 rpg
8.1 apg

Shooting over 46% from the field and over 41% from beyond at arc

 

[The Dodger]

Rondo for MVP.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I shouldn't have thrown the laughing smiley on there that was aimed at the Bulls fans chanting MVP against the Lakers not his MVP credentials.

lol amare ??? Love dropped 31-31 on him and bargani scored a season high 41 on him
he is the worse defender in the league,Dwight gets my vote

 

[The 18th Man]

The cream will rise to the top and the usual suspects will contend.

 

[Bluebag]

I cant help myself the Rookie-MVO double to the G-Men Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon, I guess its hard to hide my loyalties especially in a team of kids.

How bout Tony Parker? Plyaing lowest minutes for a few years but still averaging career-best assist numbers while leading the Spurs to the best record in the NBA (and their best start in franchise history).

Issue I have with that is that I'm not sure he's more valuable (or as valuable) to the Spurs as Manu. I mean Manu has been very good this season and you could say make the argument that he's the barometre for how far this Spurs team can go. His health has been dodgy for the last two seasons, and as a result, the Spurs haven't been able to seriously contend in the playoffs.

It's the same reason why I don't atm consider guys like Kobe, Gasol, Rondo, Garnett, Lebron, Wade, Durant, Westbrook as legitimate MVP candidates. How can you be the MVP of the league when it's not clear whether your the MVP of your own team?

Amare is a terrible defender i no, i never said he would win, i said he is playin insanely good atm and has to be considered.

Check the season stats:

Amare - 26.2ppg 9.1rpg 2.5apg Knicks 16-9

Dwight - 21.5 ppg 12rpg 1apg Magic 16-8

Also Amare has had like 8 30+ point games in a row, thats playin insane.

 

[betcats]

also tony parker will not win MVP. He is not the most important player on the Spurs, Duncan and probably Manu are both more important to that team.
