Yes Duncan should have 4 MVPs not 2

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

1997 Malone, 2001 AI, 2011 are my 3. The rest are all good picks, though I'd have probably voted for Shaq in 2005 if I had a vote at the time.

 

[Silkk]

Lebron in Miami

Would be like giving it to Steph or KD this year.

 

[FTBS]

Nope. There is a rhyme and reason and precedent for all of those picks.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Nash in 05. Should've been The Big Sensitivity's

No problem with his 06 without Amare and Joe Johnson.

 

[mastermind]

Kobe deserved it in 2006.

Everything else makes sense tho.

 

[MoneyTron]

If Russ gets the MVP this year, it could change the course of history in terms of MVP picks. Bron would have an additional one for 2011 and Kobe for 2006 and 2007 but not 2008 under the same criteria in my opinion. Shaq would probably take '05 too.

What years though breh? You cant just give him 2 more. Who is he taking them from?

 

[Damnshow]

steve nash is the weakest mvp of all time

you couldnt do shyt to him otherwise he would go to the free throw line

played for a coach who basically made every point guard look great in his system

played absolutely no defense and never made it to the finals


BUT advanced stas fanboys talmbout him revolutionizing the game and turning around the suns franchise (even though they made it to playoffs in 2003)

Was Nash the best player on his team in 04-05" . I think Amare was rolling then.

Dirk was killing it with the Mavs that year 26/10 and they won 58 games

Nash contributed to that

[<<TheStandard>>]

Derrick Rose and Allen Iverson shouldn't have their MVPs.

Everything else isn't that egregious, although I would have liked to see Kobe receive the 2006 award.
