    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It has become customary at NBA arenas for fans to serenade a star with chants of "M-V-P" when that player gets on a roll.

    Such cheers regularly rain down on Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash, San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade and Cleveland Cavaliers guard LeBron James.

    So far this season, fans packing Verizon Center have not given Gilbert Arenas the MVP treatment. But those chants will come soon if Arenas continues to perform like he has for the last month.

    According to Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Redd, who watched Arenas beat the Bucks with a buzzer-beating 32-foot jump shot Wednesday night, MVP consideration is not a ridiculous notion.

    "Who's playing better than him right now?" said Redd, who is in the midst of a career season himself. "He's been unstoppable. He's been on one of those rolls you dream about and they're winning."

    Arenas's amazing shot Wednesday night was only the most recent proof that the Wizards have the franchise's first in-his-prime superstar since Wes Unseld dominated the lane for the Bullets in the 1970s.</div>

    lol, nothing else could define his play, the Wizards are just rolling right now. Currently the Wizards are on pace to win 49 games in the season, which is more than the 45-46 games I imagined.
