NBA MVP -- Your vote?

Direckshun · 08:29 PM

The more I look at the Jordan-esque abilities Kobe Bryant has shown this season, the harder I find it not to vote for him.

But that always begs the dilemma. Can the league's MVP seriously be playing on a team that's not a reasonable contender? The term "most valuable player" literally denotes that if Player A were gone, his team would falter the hardest. I think that definition puts two guys at the unquestioned top of the list -- Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett -- but I simply don't think you give the award to a player from a noncontender.

That said, Dirk Nowitzki has been the driving force behind Avery Johnson's unbelievable Dallas Mavericks. They got within a sniff of 70 wins and they did it on Dirk's hobblingly injured body.

Dirk's my MVP.

Sorry if repost.
