wow this is crazy but i believe both melo and bronbron can win the whole damn months of the season barring injuries... yeah, it's no competition seriously, except for dwyane wade who has been giving these two a thought for the ROY award...
No suprise here, they should easily win all of them. I could see Wade getting in on it, but I doubt it. LeBron does so much for the Cavs over a whole month, and is a more consistant player. Just sucks to see Wade behind LeBron like that, because I think he'd win a few in the West.
^ you mean wade has got a chance to win ROM honor if he played in the west? A chance against Anthony? Sorry, but I guess the chance for him to beat out Anthony for ROM honor is the same with the chance to beat out James in the Eastern Conference... if not worse

LeBron James is LeBron James. You'll never beat out a player like him. He does so much and is finally starting to put his team at a run for the 8th spot. However, Carmelo has had his times where he stumbles while Wade played a lot better. I could easily see Wade winning a few in the West. Plus, Heat have been played decent ball lately, while the Nuggz are slowly losing that lead for the 8th spot. Plus he's been injured for different periods of time this season, so give him a break.
I think Wade coulda won it last month if he didn't have the downslide, b/c he was on fire and also won player of the week while Miami moved to 7th spot, they're back to 8th now but still.
