He got the narrative but he wont be able to fail many games. I can see his ppg rise aswell as assists . Rebounds i dont know if this is possible with this kind of defense. If we got in the first 3 positions and they have stats for that i dont see how they cant win the mvp. Theres alot of narrative around us this year. either way i would trade that **** for a fmvp again
As much as I CRAVE for this to happen, it is highly unlikely. He may have good-great numbers but he will be competing against the likes of Durant/LeBron/Rose(possibly) and their team have a likely shot of having better records.
I can still find solace that Wade will probably be the best player to have never won a regular season MVP.
MVP is mostly a popularity vote from the media and for some reason Wade - compared to other superstars - has always been the player that had to prove himself over and over to get accolades. I mean, Rose won during the one season everyone hated Lebron for leaving Cleveland. Not that Rose did not deserve considerations but if Lebron was still the "darling", I doubt Rose wins.
I prefer Finals MVP. Wade dominated in 2006 like noone else and if Lebron didn't choke against the Mavs, I think Wade takes that Finals MVP also.
Unfortunately Wade played during the Kobe, Lebron and now the Durant era. Not that these players aren't great or deserving but IMO, they just happen to be more popular to the media and the common fan than Wade will ever be.
Don't have a doubt, we still witness greatness like we never experienced before Wade arrived in Miami. It is going to be sad the day he is no longer playing. All we can do is hope that we don't stink it up like the Dolphins since Marino retired.
