    All i did was explain to Budadii WHY 1 or 2-4 of the hypothetical 50 voters might give the #1 vote for Lebron instead of Durant....

    Durant has done more, but not enough to get 100% votes.... thats impossible, i dont even know if that has happened before...

    Lebron has not done enough to take it away from Durant, but he has done enough to keep Durant from getting 100% of these kindof votes like ESPN just had.... understand?

    Dude, this post is different to what you first posted, you talked about "voter fatigue" being a factor in why Durant gets a number of his votes, which we both know isn't true, then you go ahead and say it is closer than we think it is, which is entirely different to 1-3 votes for LeBron like you are now saying, stick to one arguement rather than chipping and changing, voter fatigue has nothing to do with it, Durant was better this regular season, which is why he will get the most votes.

    I expect Durant to win but for some reason I don't expect it to be a landslide...maybe it's cause he's not getting his D sucked like Rose did or how LeBron does in general by the media.

    They were asked who WILL win the award and seven people said LeBron...

    I'm asking how these experts could actually get such an obvious 'prediction' wrong.

    I don't care who they think is the MVP it's just odd that they don't know how it's gonna turn out.
    If shaq didn't get 100% of the votes neither would Durant.

    Yep, but just like they predicted wrong there it will also maybe be somebody giving at least one #1 vote to Lebron when the official MVP voting results come out soon for same reason (whatever it is), thats nothing though, dont be surprised if you see 1 of those many voters give a #1 vote to somebody even more unexpected.... like mentioned for example Melo (last year) got 1, the rest (120) went all to Lebron, if one or more went to KD instead of Melo it would be more understandable as he i think did more than Melo... it is what it is, call it bias or whatever, but there is always that 1 (or more) rebellious voters...
