It’s a farce if LeBron James isn’t the unanimous MVP

Daylight broke LeBron James - 120 vote Carmelo Anthony - 1 vote Let the disgust flood in

It really is pointless to argue about this season's MVP. No matter how perfectly right you are, you can't convince/educate a blind man that a red shirt is indeed red. To him, the red shirt is blue.

The "we better give someone else the MVP for a change" is such a powerful thing. Just ask MJ about 1993. But LeBron has been so great to eclipse even that. There's no way he doesnt get it.

the term value is only vague and ambiguous if you wear your colon as a neck tie

Super best friends LLC.... Thats why not,

Lol no, LBJ's still my third I think what Durant did with OKC this year at 24 and what Melo has done outweighs LBJ's streak but that's my opinion (which apparently everyone hates)..... I can understand your rationale Ryan and there is no doubt in my mind on who will win it. But should it be unanimous hell no...... Is it a farce for people to see it my way? maybe yes but i'd never come to the conclusion that you did so easily with out mentioning what the 3 named players have done this season.... It was your point of the article wasn't it? Why LeBron is so far more valuable then anyone else? well not in my eyes, as thats mainly because of what he did to the game..... I love Melo as a Melo fan and as Knick fan, but he makes me more angry then Cousins does at being awesome and then not awesome... The only way i see it, is if LBJ didnt play then they are a 1st in the east title contender. If melo hadn't played the knicks are out of the playoffs if Durant hadnt played OKC are knocking on the Pepsi centers door. If CP3 hadn't played? well thats kinda scary in its self? Maybe its a different way of seeing value, I dont think your article as positive as it was for the other two mentioned will never sell their seasons justice..... but thats just my opinion. And if your MVP has to replicate LBJ's stats well then that makes the award pointless, it only means your value is as good a LeBrons stats.... and I will never agree with it, it's like saying Kidd''s 3 mil a year is for him hoisting up a couple of 3's and that. I'm not comparing MJ to anyone here - i want to make that abundantly clear. Jordan told Steve Kerr, "You know what they gonna come straight after me and i'm never gonna make the shot... your gonna make it" - and I like to think thats value. Plus steve kerr made the shot

Snowmann i'm not trying to make anyone angry, maybe Mushi a lil (take a chill pill Mushi im kidding). I know why there is 1 main player (LBJ) Another player (KD) and a daylight player (Anthony) in MVP talks. But my thinking would be like this - Team's ranking - Personal accomplishments - Teams Accomplishments - Question the road to getting to where the team is and - Achieving the above at an exceptional level This year you've had at least 3 or 4 players that have done that and I don't think LBJ while he is the best player in the NBA you still got 2 or 3 other players that have had an equally impressive impact on their respective teams. My harping is purely around questioning the vague and ambiguous term Value and peoples thinking around it because I hate stats rather then. Taking the easy option best stats best team = MVP cause as I believe that a D12's excuse for saying im GREAT

Mushi lets get this out of the way, I never said Carmelo Anthony is better then LeBron James? In fact I went on and said Anthony isn't in the top 5 Players in the NBA using the english language so you would stop using your less then pointy points..... Ryan i'm not trying to make you angry, or want you to reiterate your tests you use for your conclussions because I do read.... I'm never going to look at LBJ's stats in a year and say wow he deserves it nor would I ever talk about bridge gapping between Durant and James.... I would prefer to look at milestones and achievements throughout the season..... Lets list some LBJ - Lead the hot to the 2nd longest winning streak in NBA History - Longest streak of hitting 30+ Points at 60% + FPG - Lead his team to the best record in the NBA KD - Ended the season shooting 50/40/90 + - thats like crazy hard - 2nd best record in the league - Fantasy league MVP (thats for a laugh) CA - Lead knicks to their first atlantic tiltle in 19 years - Scoring title - Broke numerous Knick milestones through out the year (6 consecutive games with 35 or more points back to back 50 point games, 3 consecutive games scoring 40 or more tying BK from BK) There is probably a bucket load more for each player, there's no doubt LBJ's going to win it. But if you take away the statistical picture and look at what they have achieved all of them would be in discussions even Paul / Parker / Harden would. Point is if I could be bothered to show you how during the super best friends club even with increased minutes since it's inception while Wade and Bosh's stats have declined James stats have increased coincidence? or stat hoarding?

ROC, you are my new hero, I would have lost my $hit at melo a long time ago. I bow to you..some of the funniest comments I have ever read.

-I’m, not justifying my points by using yours out of context. I’ve been justifying them using data, the English language and a few common views. You have repeatedly just made something up then attributed it to me or Ryan rather than construct any rationale for your position. - You framed the discussion as Melo alongside LeBron. - Yes I’m close minded in that I want the league’s Most Valuable Player to be… the player who’s on court contribution was the most valuable in the league. - I’ve never said best stats best team. - Yes Carmelo is having a career year, but isn’t that in and of itself the achievement? Do we need to give first place MVP votes to each and every player who has had a career year? Or is it just the ones on the knicks. - Let’s be honest if Melo wasn’t a knick you wouldn’t care. He is not the most valuable player in the league by any measure and there isn’t anything rational that supports him being considered in the discussion as such.

I dont want to keep going on about it but I never said LeBron didn't deserve to be MVP it's just all your reasoning stems from a close minded approach th "best stats best team insta MVP" I said there were 3 players that had "Career years and are all deservng of the title in their own right" I know im a knicks fan but this whole time all your references have been in a direct attack on melo rather then what i had said to begin with. If you think LeBron should be the MVP well I think he deserves it to, just not because of his elite stat collecting (hording the Miami's stats is not measurable value in my eyes) but his achievements this year the streak and the most games scoring 30+ at 60% FGP.... But their are two other players thatave had career years as well an your willing to overlook their achieements purely because the dont light up the stat test..... I know you wont accept my point of view just stop trying to justify your less then pointy points by taking what i said initially out of context..... Also im working onm D on the offseason to make muhi proud of me

And I'm pretty sure the argument for nash was based on his assist numbers right? I'm damn certain it wasn't the eye test on D

You need to get some advice from Kurt Lazarus Garnett was statically dominant in the year he won, Dirk likewise (wade in great in per possession but he only played 50 odd games) For Nash both Dirk and Garnett can feel aggrieved for these years, but you can still mount a credible case with +/- data that Nash had a statistical output justifying an award. Thought I don’t think anyone seriously thinks Steve Nash should have two MVPs Rose – got me on that one. Completely undeserving. In my view it was only the “best counting stats on the best team” that got him the award. He may earn it in the future but he didn’t earn it that year. Still most somewhat reasonable people would see that list and realise there wasn’t he kind of gap in production between the elite players in the mid 2000s. The gap between melo and bron is just so substantial it takes a suspension of reality to enter the conversation.
