    Well, there's MVP in the real sense (your borderline playoff team would be 76ers bad without you) and there's MVP in the real world (you are the best player on a team of very good players and collectively you'll probably win the Conference Finals).

    Dame is the first one.

    Yeah I don't understand it. Their a good lottery team without those two. Hey that's exactly what they did last year with Westbrook!

    Durant is legit though. Look at the year they plugged Reggie Jackson in injured Westbrooks role; the team was 95% as effective. Without Durant they were in the lottery.

    Yeah; in 5 years Dame will be 30 and a couple years past his prime.

    I put CP3 and Dame above Westbrook. The other 4 you list yes are above Dame. I'd put Lowry a tad ahead of Westbrook.

    That would be awesome but it would take Lillard playing like he is now for every single game in the post season as well as everyone else stepping it up consistently. You could paint a picture of how we win a championship but it will be full of "what ifs".

    Understood. That's the official KIA ladder at this time. The MVP is the KIA MVP award, FWIW.

    I'm so glad he left. This team has a much brighter future than the LMA Blazers and they're a lot more fun to watch.

    I wasn't sad to see him go. I was sad that we didn't get anything for him.

    I was fine with LMA leaving. He really did take the worst shot in the game in volume. He was good at getting easy shots, which is good. He'd have done better by either shooting 3's or closer shots in the lane (post ups).

    This is really disrespectful.
    I think you are forgetting who is setting all those 3s for Mayers in the first place!

    I mean, Jesus he had one good game against the Pacers and now he's better than Dame? this is madness!

    FWIW, that wasn't my list. I should have cited the source. I think it might have been the oregonian.

    So no incentive to have one of Kia's spokesmen win it?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Most_Valuable_Player_Award

    Since the 1980–81 season, the award is decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, each of whom casts a vote for first to fifth place selections. Each first-place vote is worth 10 points; each second-place vote is worth seven; each third-place vote is worth five, fourth-place is worth three and fifth-place is worth one. Starting from 2010, one ballot was cast by fans through online voting. The player with the highest point total wins the award.[2] As of May 2015, the current holder of the award is Stephen Curry.
