Miami isn't stacked. They don't even have a post player that can score in the paint.

Bosh. And the Thunder's Center if virtually useless.

Bosh is not a post player. Also Miami doesn't even have a centre, bosh is playign out of position.

It's not a counterbalance when I'm right and you're wrong.

LeBron is the MVP, there's no never-ending profession of love when that is just fact to anybody that has a pair of eyes and watches NBA games.

Judgements is fact now?

Many could argue of players have been better because their team is doing better.

Unless Melo gets the Knicks to the #1 seed, then I could see the narrative being written for him to win.

I wouldn't say Paul deserved it last year, the Clippers were a 50 win team in an 82 game season, he put up better numbers on a 56 win team and didn't get it, and while last year he was as valuable as anyone, team record plays a part in how it is voted, so no. I believe he did in 2007 when Kobe won it, but Kobe played beryl well also, it was close.

Lebron is Miami's post player actually

Actually Miami doesn't have a post player. Their best option inside is Bosh.

Just because he backs down a player once every quarter doesnt make him a post player.

Word. But the argument is about supporting casts and he's not exactly a dominate post player though much improved.

Jrue Holiday is going to need a mention soon. Philly should not be winning like this but he's putting up 19/4/8.5 and most importantly wins.

I'm not sure why the discussion should expand to players who might be top 10 MVP candidates.

Lebron and Durant will be 1-2 in some order

Durant - 25 pts, 10 rebs, 4 asts, 2 blks, 2 stls, 50 fg%, 37 3pt%, 89 ft%

Lebron- 25 pts, 9 rebs, 7 asts, 1 blks, 1 stls, 54 fg%, 45 3pt%, 67 ft%

seems like the only flaw in lebron's game now is his freethrow shooting , needs to correct that!

His field goal percentage is within 13 percentage points of his free throw percentage. I don't know if any perimeter player that I can remember was that good from the field and that bad from the line. Rondo maybe?

Most of his field goals come from layups and dunks. He was abysmal in the playoffs last year from mid-long range aside from 1 game against Boston.

Once his athleticism declines, he will be noticably worse as you can see in Wade already.

if KD can score 28-30 ppg with around 10 rpg while shooting %50 + (all very possible) he got this,... unless Bron tops his previous season

That has actually been false this season, most of his points come from Jumpshots, but idk shooting lay-ups was a bad thing. Lol, he also hasnt had many dunks this year.

Duncan putting up a solid 18/10/3/2 on 53% shooting, and his defense thus far this season has been amazing, he's been moving very quickly, and he's been executing the pick and roll perfectly, a huge key to the Spurs success so far this season considering Ginobili is playing terribly so far...
