I for one think that anyone of the candidates could have easily won the award between Lebron, Kobe, Steve, Dirk, Elton, and Chauncey.  You could easily throw Dwayne Wades name in the bunch and still could get a good MVP, but when you talk about the award, the Most Valuable Player, many think that you necessarily mean best player.  How can you not say that Steve Nash was not a little more deserving considering his best player and wing man, Amare, was hurt the majority of the year.  Not to mention shipping out Joe Johnson to the Hawks.  It just meant the Steve would have a harder job and the Matrix would have to be that other part of the pick-n-roll. 

But what about King James?  His wingman was out too with a broken finger, the person they got to come in to be his Scottie Pippen, Larry Hughes.  Lebron not only averaged over 30 pts, consistently getting triple doubles, and finally getting his team to the playoffs since having years of a drought. 

Then you have the other guys like Kobe on that team of nothings except Lamar Odom, lead the league in scoring, and making it to the playoffs when last year they were absent. 

Elton Brand leading his team, the LA Clippers I might add, to the playoffs.  Oooh, that felt funny even saying that.  But he is coming off of a huge season.  Then again, Sam Cassell was on his team and we know that with Sam comes success. 

Dirk had a good year as well with the Mavs.  But Dirk always plays well.

So lets see how the results between the top 3 ended up, because if it was not a close race, then it might be some trouble.  Remember last year when Steve won it.

 Finally, after two seasons with high hopes of seeing King James to take the sorry ass Cavaliers to the playoffs, it finally happens in the King’s 3rd season and what a way to start it.  With a win, triple double (32 pts. 11 Rebs. 11 Asst.), and showing superior strength and court vision it is no doubt this is something that the NBA has been banking on since James was picked first overall in 2003.  It was not only James, he also had great help from his bench and Donyell Marshall’s 19.  

 I hope that we will be seeing more performances from the King in the playoffs and for years to come. Dude is only 21!
