KG's Got It Locked

I thought KG shoulda had it last year, and the year before that too, but this year their's no way he can't win it. Its just no possible for him to not win this year.

KG for MVP

 

He's still got it locked, especially after winning player of the month three times in a row.

 

I know I'm simply stating the obvious but KG took a team to the playoffs almost singlehandedly, he and TD are capable of that, but he's actually done it. That is one reason he deserves it, especially if they go far, then no doubt it's his. If another first round fiasco occurs, which probably won't, then it's in the bag. Then again though "anything can happen."

 

Just checking: are there any doubters left?

 

Sorry, but I gotta disagree. KG does not have the MVP locked. If the Spurs overtake the Wolves for the division I would doubt that KG would get it. I think the bottom-line is this. If the Wolves can continue and possibly take the first seed, then it's his. But I'm starting to think that anything short of an awesome finish will hand that trophy to O'Neal. If KG doesn't get it, O'Neal does. He's put in max work this year also for his squad and clinched their Conference already with a hell-of-a-record. I personally think KG should get it because he personifies what the Most Valuable Person should be by taking a bunch of rag-tags who were either, not wanted, or losing their drive to strive for the cup. By his intensity and energy, he has taken this group to the threshold of the #1 seed in the WESTERN CONFERENCE. Jason should've gotten it 2 years ago, and I believe Duncan should have gotten it last year, so why not give it to Kev since your screwing people. Anyway, I was just not looking forward to the proverbial "only so many players have been back-to-back MVPs" BS. But Duncan is not in the running for MVP of the Spurs, much less the league as of late.

 

Shaq cannot possibly win MVP this season because everybody knows it's Kobe's recent surge that led them.

He's talking about Jermaine

 

I doubt an Eastern player would get the award. Everybody knows it's the Baby Conference. I'm pretty sure the Pacers wouldn't have done better than the Grizz, were they out west. I'm pretty sure it's KG vs. TD again. My guess is whatever happens in the last few games, if the Wolves advance from the first round, KG gets it. I know it's a season-award, not playoffs, but that was one of the reasons KG didn't get it last year.

As you said, it is a season-award and therefore they vote for the MVP just after the regular season ended and before the playoffs even start. The actual award will then be presented during the playoffs.

In my opinion, KG should get it this year, he has done so much more than just putting up those incredible numbers.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">He's talking about Jermaine</div> Ok then, Jermaine O'Neal cannot possibly win MVP because:

1. The Pacers can win without him
2. He has a FG% of 42. At Power Forward.

Jermaine O'Neal is a driving force in the paint, similar to Theo Ratliff, that can hit the jump shot (enough to make you respect it) and post up effectively. O'Neal can also play the 5 spot effectively. O'Neal is the reason they already have taken the Eastern crown and are closing in on 60 wins. Yes, the East isn't as strong as the West, but it's like when the Nets went on that winning streak.....all of the players in the NBA have the ability to play the game, so an actual streak (5 plus to me) is somewhat respectable.....(unless you play the Bulls and Magic repeatedly)

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sabretooth:</div><div class="quote_post">O'Neal is the reason they already have taken the Eastern crown and are closing in on 60 wins.</div>How about these two words for you: Ron Artest.

Artest is a big factor but the Pacers are not even a playoff team without JO. Even in the eastern conference, after their two all-stars they basically have nothing inside..all they would have to rely on for scoring would be Reggie Miller and Al Harrington.

Wolves at least have two all-star type players without KG along with good scorers in Hudson and Wally.

But still the Pacers won 4 out of 4 without JO. In the weak Eastern I truly believe without JO they still would make the playoffs. The Wolves, perhaps they could also make the playoffs but I doubt it.

But why are all the people only talk about numbers and records? I think the personal influence, the team chemistry and all that small things should also be considered, just as TWolfFanatic wrote in his post on the first page.

A team with just Sam Cassell and Spree would NOT make the play-offs in the West. Your starting PF would be Mark Madsen. C'mon AllNet...

I never mentioned the Wolves If they would make the playoffs or not. My post was directed to the Pacers without Jermaine. All I stated was the Wolves would at least have more options than Indy would.
