Sound Off: KD's MVP, is he the best in basketball?

[Gramps91]

I still think LeBron is better but KD had a great year and I'm totally satisfied with him winning it.

Lebron is better, but not by much.

I really don't think the gap between them is very close. I still think LeBron is far and away better, he's just so refined in so many areas. And he just has that natural vision to his game. But I don't believe the award should just go to the best player every year, I think KD was easily deserving of winning it this year.

But the award will always have controversy. With it being "most valuable to team succeeds" hell in some instances a role player or the coach can arguably be more valuable than the teams star. This award will never go without controversy.

Hmmm..it could have gone either way this year. I think you have to consider how absurdly weak the east was this year. All season long their was about 2 teams that could compete against the heat. It's tuffer out west , Durant deserved it this year. He also plays for a coach who doesn’t want to or no how to implement an offensive structure. He also runs with one of the most selfish point guards of all time. I think when it's all said and done , this will be a much closer argument then the one people have with MJ and Kobe or MJ and anybody else.

ya lebron is better IMO. durant is really just a sniper shooter. the problem is, he tends to fold under pressure. like his playoffs so far, while having some good games not all of them have been that stellar, heck he had a game against grizzlies where he only put up 15 points.

Lebron is the overall better player, but this wasn't a "voter fatigue" MVP. Lebron was on cruise control for a good portion of the year and KD had a better season. The whole "most valuable" thing is nonsense to me. It should always go to the guy that's having the best season because, by definition, he is the most valuable.

Well, the "Durant versus Lebron" debate certainly turned out to be more substantial than the "Durant versus Oden" one, now didn't it?



Congrats to a deserving and classy candidate...

Here's the list:

Bird was the last guy to win it three times in a row...it's most often a two-fer and then they mix it up...

Fine by me...

Lebron is better and more valuable.
