LeBron James -- 28 PPG, 7.2 AST, 7.6 REB, 49% FG, 1.7 STL, 1 BLK
It's more than just a numbers game, but these cats are remarkably similar. Arguments can be made for both guys - the Cavs are worse w/o LeBron than the Heat would be w/o Wade, etc. Bottom line is this is my kind of decision to have to make for MVP, albeit not a very exciting one: either pick is a winner.
Give it to James for being more consistently dominant over the past couple years and don't fret. Because health permitting we're going to be seeing these numbers from D-Wade for a long time coming. He's smack in the middle of his prime and LeBron has been in his since what, his second year in the league? Depending on where these two go (or stay) in 2010, maybe we can even see a little rivalry start to develop.
Kobe is always noted as LeBron's west coast counterpart, but he's tucked away in LA. The Cavs and Heath play, and with Wade healthy again I'm looking forward to those games looking more competitive between the best two players in the conference.
Who do you think should have won this year's MVP award?
