Best MVP Season in the last 15 years

[BigKAT]

Well, I've seen someone mention Rose as the worst MVP, I wonder, who you guys consider the most deserving MVP of the last 15 years?

I'll put some here,

In no particular order

2013 Lebron James-
27 game win streak, shot 56% from the field, 40% from 3pt range, 27 points per game, 8 rebounds and about 7 assists, franchise record 66 wins. Best player in the world without a doubt.

2016 Steph Curry-
Thirty points per game on an insane 50/45/90 season. 73 Wins. Nothing more needs to be added.

2004 Kevin Garnett
24 Points, about 14 rebounds and two blocks and five assists. One of the most dominant seasons by a big man, yes, he didn't score 30's a game, but that's the peak year of one hell of a player.

2008 Kobe
Long time coming, though likely not his peak year, the stars aligned for him and he finally got that nod he was waiting for all these years. While some say he was robbed in 06 after dragging his team to the playoffs, 08 I think was really the culimination of all those years. Shame he couldn't top it off with a ring, but a pair of those came right after this year.


Honorble Mention:
2010 Lebron
2003 Duncan

2003 Duncan was arguably the best if you factor in the playoffs

Point given,
But we're talking only regular season, or else Curry and 10' Lebron wouldn't be mentioned.

LeBron 2012

MVP
Chip
Fmvp
Gold Medal

Out played 2nd best player in the league and next best at his position. Faced solid competition through out the conference (unlike 2013) and had a great Finals (unlike 2013)

Very similar to Jordan's 1992 apart from regular season team record.

Thirty points per game on an insane 50/45/90 season. 73 Wins. Nothing more needs to be added.

Because nothing else WAS added

Not only that, easily one of the GOAT postseason runs of all time

Yup. That 45-point game down 3-2 was one for the books.

But once more, I am trying to put emphasis on the time the MVP award was given.

Before the postseason.

lol @ no Durant...

He trumps everybody

09 Lebron should be HM instead of 10. Just unstoppable going to the rim and his 1st year being an elite defender. 2013 is a little better because he had a better jumper and post game but he was more explosive in 09 and it's close.

James 2013 is the best.

Was the only time I felt like he was legitimately challenging Jordan. That's how amazing he was playing at the time. It felt like Miami would never lose a game.

Basically, you know how everybody says "imagine how scary Lebron would be if he had a jumper"?

Well he had one that season. He was hitting everything.

I remember the game in OKC. Durant had 40 and nobody cared because Bron made him look invisable.

Durant averaged 28/8/5 on 50/40/90 that year on a 60 win team and got ZERO MVP consideration. That's how good James was.

If westbrook does not go down Durant doesn't get that MVP.
Period.

Not that he wasn't awesome, he was.
Amazing and everything.

But it was because Westbrook got injured that he got the chance.

Allen Iverson

find me another mvp that shoots 50/45/90 and avg 30 ppt with a 73w.

No one.
One of the best seasons ever by a player.
If he can repeat something close to this, he's definetly in the mix for MVP, with or without Durant.
