NBA MVP watch

 

The subject of who is the NBA’s Most Valuable Player is something that everyone wants to each NBA season. So many good players on the court, but only can take the coveted prize of being the best in the league. Players like Michael Jordan, David Robinson and Charles Barkley have won this prize.

So, who are the possible candidates to win this award this NBA season? Let’s check it out:

Many have said this and I will say it as well. The “King” of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James, is one of the guys will most likely win the prize this year. He is leading his team in the Eastern Conference and even last season’s record. Although, some key players of the team are out due to injury, he still gets the job done.

Now that we have mentioned the Eastern Conference, let’s head down to Miami, where Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat is simply showing us why he’s such a great player. He was recently named East player of the month after averaging 30.7 points, 8.7 assists and 2.0 steals in 12 games.

Still staying on the East Coast, what about Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard? “Superman” has been kind of weird these past few games. He hasn’t been blocking that much, out of the past four games; he’s only blocked in two of them. Plus, his scoring percentage has gone down little. But, if he gets everything back together, he can still have a chance to win the MVP title.

Last but not least, Kobe Bryant. The Los Angeles Lakers have been extremely dominant this NBA season, and the work Bryant has done just makes things so much easier for the Lakers. He recently made another addition into his career, for the 96th time he made over 40 points in a game. He is currently ranked third in the league’s history books, behind Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.

There you have it, folks. Your top candidates to win the NBA MVP award this NBA season. These are guys who have all the tools to be this year’s best player on the court. Until the end of the NBA season, we’ll see who takes the prize.

Kobe, not Jordan, but certainly the best out there

 

I’m pretty sure Kobe Bryant or any other player out there is never going to play as Michael Jordan did. Maybe players like Kobe can manage to achieve and even pass some of Michael’s records, but the truth is that nobody has the magic and the fantasy Michael had.

But the truth is that Kobe is the best out there, just like when Michael played on the NBA, he was also the best out there.

Right now Kobe Bryant is dealing with the responsibility of leading the Lakers to the 08/09 finals, and is finally understanding that in order to achieve championship rings, team cooperation is necessary.

Jordan was always a team player while he played at the NBA, and now Kobe Bryant is even more similar to Michael on that sense too.

Kobe knows that Shaq is not around anymore, and he wants to show that he’s the right man to lead Los Angeles Lakers to one more NBA title.

I think there is a big legion of Kobe Bryant haters out there, and they have enough reasons to despise the old attitude’s of Bryant, but it is important to know that every player deserves a second chance, and I’m sure that Kobe is asking basketball fans his by the way he’s acting lately… just like Michael Jordan, the best in the court, and a team player at the same time.

Kobe Bryant might have a unique rival in what it comes to currently being #1 at the NBA, and that is Lebron James, the smart and ambitious player from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Sure, James was second last year in the voting for MVP, but the fact that Kobe Bryant got it instead of him, and also because it was the first time Kobe got the MVP on the time he had played for the NBA, makes him undeniably the best.
