its a discussion thread but guys saying Melo has no shot when the people who vote on the award are saying he has a shot makes anything regarding Carmelo you guys say wrong
RealGM- Carmelo is not a superstar
Media- Carmelo is a top 5 player in this league
RealGM- Its a 2 man race
Media- Carmelo is a frontrunner for MVP
come on man

Durant has maintained his normal scoring efficiency advantage over Melo so far, despite Melo's career year so far in that department, because Durant has an obscene TS% of .650. Likely to come down, though (and so is Melo's .570).
And, whether fair or not, today's game is not going to exactly help the argument that Carmelo is having some unseen-in-the-box-score massive impact and that his team is helpless without him.

I somehow don't see this happening.

It wasn't...he's still better than KD though.
And LeBron tends to turn it up as the season goes on, so I expect him to play better defensively.KDgoat wrote:Thrashed by the Knicks without Melo. Yeah. Both Melo and Lebron took a dive today.
And this right here is why I think most arguments for why someone should be MVP makes no sense. LeBron put up 31/11/9 on 65% TS. He played a monster game...the Knicks got hot from 3, and Wade/Bosh combined for 6-25 shooting. How is losing to the Knicks in any way on him?
And his team is still 12-5 vs 15-4 for the Thunder. That's a 2 game difference, and there's more than 3 quarters of a season to go. If they end up with similar records...LeBron is the better player, so he should win MVP.
