    Though lakers starting unit have all been all stars though you cant be talking about lakers since they have more than 27 losses.Miami has 3 all stars and one former allstar thats about it.

    You cant be talking about thunder because they are better then 55-27 but worse than 65-17 and RWB is playing better than KD since allstar break.
    Those are not realistic teams. They were made up by me. I just want you to tell me, who would you pick for MVP, if those were the 2 best records in the league.

    ?
    Cancerous? The guy has been on a tear post all-star break, moreover this last quarter of the season.

    You would take Kobe. But what you would do doesn't mean anything. Anybody with a head on their shoulders would take LeBron over Kobrick.

    Of course the first option A.It has always been the same.If your stats doesnt translate into wins what good is that.

    Look at what love did previous seasons.He didnt even get a MVP consideration because of team record.

    Look what lebron went through during 2006-2008 seasons when he was amazing and during rose MVP season.

    Look at what kobe went through during his amazing 2005-2006 campaign.

    Look at shaq he was the best player with best stats but his teams have never been very successful in RS.

    Look what Hakeem went through when he was absolutely scorching every opponent after MJ first retirements.

    Look at what MJ went through in his first couple of seasons.

    STOP BICKERING dude MVP is predefined best player on one of the best teams.

    Look at how Bird got his MVPs.He got three in a row with the one of the most stacked teams in modern history.

    Look at how magic got his MVPs.He had a teammate that ranks #2 among all time greats.

    Look at bill russell he had 5 HOFs and he still got that many MVPs.

    Your scenario was ridiculous. You said;
    "A. 5 all stars, leading their team to 65-17
    B. 1 Star, leading his team to 55-27"
    Which two player are you trying to compare?

    I've said this since "the descion." LeBron should not win MVP unless Miami wins 70 games, or atleast close to 70 games. When LeBron, Wade and Bosh colluded to join forces, everyone was projecting the team to win close to 70 games, or even surpass the '96 Bulls 72 game game record. But once again, they are going to end up underachieving with worse records than the Cavs in 2009 and 2010 when LeBron won back-to-back MVPs. (I believe James even said himself he didn't think he or Wade would win MVP with them being on the same team.)

    In short, with a more talented team, LeBron once again like 2011 (when he rightfully didn't win) is going to have fewer wins, and with worse overall stats.

    MVP shouldn't automatically = best player on the team with the most wins. Especially when the team has 3 superstars all in their prime.

    Lebron is about as clear cut an MVP as there has been historically. He fits the bill no matter what angle you look at it from. Best player in the league? Lebron. Best player on the best team? Lebron. Guy who does the most for his team? Lebron.

    I'm curious- if Lebron isn't the MVP, then who is in your opinion OP?

    *Waits for half-baked, convoluted, nonsensical rambling about how Bean deserves it*

    Who's MVP then? The only other candidate close to him is Durant and he has great teammates as well.

    Should we give it to the guy in team A with the best stats, or to the 1 star in team B who is playing out of his mind?

    This will put the whole thing into perspective.
    I'm guessing the 1 star is Westbrook?

    I feel like every year people predict that a team will surpass the Bulls' record. Hell, even World Peace said the Lakers were going for a 73-9 record when they acquired Nash and Howard. I think that turned out just a bit worse than when the Heat acquired Bosh and James

    That's a silly benchmark to set for an MVP award. How many teams in NBA history have won 70 games? That's the benchmark for GOAT status, MVP standards are nowhere near that stringent.

    2 Finals MVPs + 4 MVPs >> 2 Finals MVPs + 1 MVP. Kobe's been in the league much longer than LeBron so of course he's going to have all of those extra stats.

    ya sure... if both players have the same number of championships

    but kobe has 3 more championships with averages of

    23/5/5
    29/7/6
    27/6/6

    in the playoffs

    which is on the same level as any of kareems non finals mvp. a legit star championship

    only mj can say he won 3+ rings and won all the fmvps

    so ya...

    3 star titles by an mvp/fmvp winner > any number of additional season mvps


    its more about # of rings by mvps than # of mvps by ring winners

    shaq/kobe/hakeem/duncan are all routinely ranked way ahead of moses malone.. who has 3 mvps
















    ether taste good?
