NBA MVP

NBA season is almost over and the talks for MVP are in the works.

My nominees for MVP this year are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard. A lot of people may not like my nominees, but these players have been really putting it in this season. LeBron James is the leading scorer and Cavs fans will agree with me, without LeBron the Cavs are really nothing. Kobe Bryant has been killing it with a broken finger and when you watch him, you would never know that his finger was broken; on top of that he's been playing since 1996, but he is still in his prime. Kevin Durant is the second leading scorer in the NBA and giving LeBron a run for his money; because of KD playing great basketball, the Thunder are in 5th place making it the first time in the Playoffs since like forever. Carmelo Anthony is 3rd for leading scorer and always plays to the fullest. Dwyane Wade whenever he plays, you know he puts his heart and soul out there. Last but not least Dwight Howard, he leads the league in most blocks and most steals and ever season he just gets more and more athletic.

They all are great but only one can win and my winner for MVP this season is of course LeBron Jame. LeBron has been really proving this year that he deserves the award, but I do believe that Kevin Durant is still giving him a run for his money. Every time I watch a Thunder game, I already know that KD will not disappoint. Almost every game KD scores 20+ this which is crazy and did I mention that the Oklahoma City Thunder are 5th place in the Western Conference.

After LeBron and KD it really doesn't matter who comes next but here is how I would rate them:

1. LeBron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Kobe Bryant
4. Dwight Howard
5. Carmelo Anthony
6. Dwyane Wade


MVP is usually not announced until like the Conference Finals, so lets just sit and wait to see if my picks are correct or not.
