MagicBizkit87 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Chris Paul, and Kobe need to be the front runners. I honestly don't see why people would call Kevin Garnett in the MVP Race, I wouldn't have him in front of Dwight Howard, T-Mac, and Lebron James. Those 5 in my mind should be in the running, although yeah, the front runners should be Paul, and Kobe. Why do people even consider Garnett in the running when the two others of the big 3 are better than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Paul - Leader of the New Orleans, leading team to probably top 3 in the scary West Kobe - He's Kobe, what else is there to say? D12 - Leader of young team, and lead them to a 50 win season. T-Mac - Team caught fire when their big center got injured. Lebron - down year for him, and his team, but he's still good. Plus the fact that Garnett isn't even the best player on Boston.

Why do people even consider Garnett in the running when the two others of the big 3 are better than him? The reason KG is in the MVP race is because of the huge turnaround of the Celtics. Maybe he's suffered stat-wise, 19 PPG 9.3 RPG, but he has brought the Celtics, who were 19th in defense, to number one in every defensive stat. He also triggered the Celtic's biggest turnaround ever.

Why do people even consider Garnett in the running when the two others of the big 3 are better than him? Garnett is considered the frontrunner b/c he took a horrific team that won 24 games last year and turned them into the favorites to go to the Finals in the East. His stats aren't great this season but that's because the Celts put teams away early on in games and he usually winds up resting in the 4th quarter with his team up by more than 15. I'd give it to either Garnett or Chris Paul. The NBA wants to give it to Kobe because he's arguably the league's biggest star right now and plays in LA but Kobe plays on a stacked team.

Yeah, but shouldn't the player whose the best player on the Celtics (Pierce) be the one in the running for MVP, and not Garnett? He may have helped this team make the biggest turn around, but he isn't even the best player on the team, if it were Allen, or Pierce in the running for the MVP I wouldn't care. Garnett is in his low 30's, and he's not even better than the 22 year old Dwight Howard, nor was he ever as good as D12 is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, Lebron is the best on his team, Kobe is the best on his team, Paul is the best on his team, T-Mac is the best on his team, and D12 is the best on his team. People need to basically stop having a love fest for KG when he isn't even the best player on his own team, he wins MVP, or is even in the running, i'd be shocked.

I'm a huge Paul Pierce fan but KG has brought back Celtic Pride. Kobe will win the MVP. Why? Because he wasn't won it before. Without KG this year the Celtics probably win 35-40 games.

124 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Whenever the Western team wins the Finals, the MVP of that team in that series should be the MVP, because most likely it will be a player such as Kobe Bryant or Tim Duncan.

I just think that Allen, and Pierce have won the Celtics more games this season for the Celtics, then Garnett has. I am hoping either Chris Paul wins it, or Dwight Howard wins it, because D12 is my favorite player. I know D12 has no chance, so I guess I am rooting for Paul, sorry kobe... lol Also, I think with Pierce, and Allen, and lets say they picked up another PF, not named Garnett, say Randolph. I still think they would have won 50 games at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says Howard doesn't play defense. Howard has 2.2 BPG, Garnett has 1.2 BPG. Not to mention Dwight Howard is 22 years old, while Garnett is 31, and in a couple of seasons he'll be past his prime.
