Nash has been awesome this year, and totally overlooked.

That will happen when your 11.5 games back of first place in your divison. And again i love how the best player cant close out games. Makes totally sense.

OP's question is kind of ambiguous.

I still think no one in the league is capable as lifting a team as much as LeBron, so calling him the best player is not unreasonable.

However, in terms of actually playing to contribute to his team this year, LeBron hasn't been nearly so impressive, thus I don't think he's had the best year of any player.


Its not like hes missed like one or two shots is been a choronic problem for him. Id say derrick rose is a better closer than lebron this year.

I don't think you follow. The Lakers are blowing out teams when Kobe is sitting. Now I think this is just a coincidence but it holds more weight than your point about Lebron.

Do some people really have Kobe ahead of Lebron? He doesn't even really have a case, people get way too caught up in the latest games.
Damn

They are talking about this season, plus the way Rose has carried that team to that record is impressive im not saying hes better or worse than wade.

Except Rose does not have better stats than Wade. This isn't MVP consideration.

Rose is NOT better than Wade.



Well he outplayed Wade just two days ago

Lol, you really dislike Kobe don't you, Kobe was +28 against their best opponent of the entire season in a 32 point blowout at a point. You sit your best player in the 4th. You really have no clue, it's blatantly obvious you just hate the guy

Nah I don't hate Kobe, just his fanboys. It's the same with Rose.

I was simply providing a counterpoint to a moronic post.

And like I said, Kobe's +/- numbers this season are probably just a coincidence since he always measures out well in adj. +/-.
