NBA awards

[abdcc]

Some of the NBA awards were just given. Manu Ginobili received the best 6th man award which is normal but i was really surprised when they gave Kevin Garnett the defensive player of the year award. Your thoughts?

Marcus Camby deserved DPY, his stats were even better than last year when he got the award, this year he averaged like 3.61 blocks and 13 rebounds. What makes KG got the award is the Celtics were the best team and Nuggets were struggling for the last playoff spot.

Manu, no doubt, he should even be in the all star game.

Prediction:
MVP: CP3
Most improved: Hedo Turkoglu (then Aldridge and Alston)
Manager: Ed Stefanski (just look at the Sixers)

if Kobe gets it, that would be a big bull shit. Lebron and CP3 deserves it more. Lebron has better stats than Kobe in every category... And if you wanna use the team argument and say Kobe lead his lakers to a better record, than you should agree to have Kevin Garnett for MVP because he was the leader of the team with the best record in the NBA.

i think they gave the defensive player of the year to Garnett to exclude him from the MVP award contenders. LOL.

keep in mind bostons defence...........they lock up teams.........and who leads it?....it's not only stats........little things should be counted too.......such as the ones you dont see on the stat sheet.....like helping out on weak side D and things like that

Kobe deserves MVP all the way. You can use the better record in Kobe favor cause he is in the western conference were there are much better teams compared to the eastern conference, if the CAVS were in the western conference they wouldn't even make the PLAYOFFS!! Plus the celtics and the CAVS play way more games against the eastern conference which makes Lakers schedule strength way harder than the CAVS and CELTICS!

The Lakers have had so many injuries all year long; Gasol, Bynum, Ariza, Mihlm and Walton YET the Lakers still won the western conference.

Kobe makes him teammates better, just look at Farmer, Bynum, Turiaf, Vujacic and Odom. King James makes his teammates worse just look at both Szczerbiak and Wallace having worse stats since arriving in Cleveland!

Enough said, KOBE deserves the MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of the celtcis 16 losses, only 5 were against Western teams. They are 24-5 against Western Teams. That means that they would still be good against western teams. Even though they are in East, they have 9 more wins than Lakers. And they are lead by KG who is the heart and soul of the team. Therefore, KG deserves the MVP more than Kobe if you think team stats means everything. Kobe also doesnt make his teammates better. If their stats are better it just means that lakers players are maturing. You cant really associate the success of lakers player to Kobe Bryant. he only averages something like 5 ast when Lebron is almost at 8. Ben Wallace isnt the same since he left Detroit so of course his stats are gonna be worse now. Are you gonna say Steve Nash makes his teammates worse because Shaq stats are lower than when he was with Lakers? Are you also gonna say Shaq was better in the Lakers because of Kobe?? Odom was already good when he came to L.A. You cant say he is good because of Kobe. Lebron is more valuable to his team because he will pass the ball when he has an off night. Kobe would keep shooting even if he is 7-25 FG. Cavaliers were 0-7 without Lebron and are 45-30 with him.

Enough said, Lebron deserves the MVP!!!!

CP3 for MVP:
1. It's only his third year;
2. His team had better record than LeBron's;
3. Last year Hornets weren't even in the playoff, but Cavs and Lakers were.
4. LOOK AT HIS STAT.
