LeBron should have been the MVP in 2006

[Lebron23]

Cavaliers won 50 games while the Suns won 54 games in the regular season. LeBron put up better numbers than Nash.

Lebron also destroyed the Suns in the regular season.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Dirk was MVP, Kobe was best player

[navy]

One of the worst mvps ever

[Lebron23]

Lebron should have been the youngest MVP in History, Not Derrick Rose.


1st place: steve nash- 18.8ppg...10.5apg...4.2rpg...team record(54-28)

2nd place: lebron james- 31.4ppg...6.6apg...7rpg...team record(50-32)

3rd place: dirk nowitzki- 26.6ppg...2.8apg...9rpg...team record(60-22)

5th place: chauncey billups-18.5ppg...8.6apg...3.1rpg...team record(64-18)

[Marchesk]

Meh, he got 4 MVPs. The real issue is that Kobe, Shaq and Hakeem, all considered top 10 players, have only 1

Wade didn't even get one.

Meanwhile

[Lebron23]

Larry Hughes only played 31 games in the regular season.

1st place: steve nash- 18.8ppg...10.5apg...4.2rpg...team record(54-28)

This is what it took for a perimiter player to win MVP in the 60s:

31.4 ppg, 11.3 apg, 9.9 rpg, 55-25

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe had 27 forty point games that season, scored 62 in 3 quarters, 81 against the Raptors, averaged 35/5/5/2 on 56% TS, had 2 months of averaging 40+ ppg (only other player to average 40 in a month was Wilt) took a team that featured Smush and Kwame as the 3rd and 4th best players to the playoffs in the western conference, averaged 36/5/5 post all star break, had 6 fifty+ point games, Lebron has 10 in his entire career.

Lebron wasn't even that good defensively that year, didn't make the all nba defensive team which according to you Lebron stans is "all based off hype" yet somehow the most hyped player of this generation couldn't make the team..

Kobe was 2nd in first place MVP votes, but somehow finished 4th on the ballot, there were some voters that completely left him off the ballot.. it was a joke..

That Lakers team wins maybe 10 games without Kobe, he was the most complete player in the league that season.

[Prime_Shaq]

Nope.

[Im Still Ballin]

Yeah definitely

He backed it up in the playoffs too

[Lebron23]

Yeah definitely

He backed it up in the playoffs too

Lebron James 41 pts vs Gilbert Arenas 34 pts, playoffs 2006, cavs vs wizards game 3

[Im Still Ballin]

He was 3 points away from beating the 2006 64 win Pistons

[ballinhun8]

50 wins in the East back then was easy. It was the Heat and Pistons and that's it.

[SouBeachTalents]

'05 & '06 were nearly impossible seasons for choosing an MVP. Both seasons had multiple players that had legit arguments for MVP

True, I would've given it to Dirk Personally, but LeBron and Kobe both put up insane numbers while Nash actually won the MVP. I prefer that over the simple 1 or 2 horse MVP race we see nowadays though
