ESPN launches campaign to discredit Melo for MVP

Anyone have insider? Based on the usual criteria, it's KD and Melo right now. Melo doesn't have a Westbrook either so that's a plus for him. Why the hate?

Who knows why? Most of the people at BSPN are retards.

He has Chandler though, a top 5 defensive anchor in the league.

I have Melo in my top 5 for MVP as well, but I think it's KD's to lose (I also have Kobe, Duncan, LeBron ahead of him; CP3 and ZBo are right behind him).

Durant is the MVP as of today.

I'd rather have Ibaka than Chandler

My list:

Durant
Melo
LeBron
CP3
Duncan

Kobe out of the top 5?

I'd rather have Ibaka if I'm going forward as a franchise since he's younger and has a higher ceiling (no clue what kind of peak player he'll end up as), but Chandler is better right now I think.

Excuse me? What's the argument for Carmelo for MVP over KD?

Perhaps, but does anyone honestly expect LA to finish with worse than a 4 seed? You guys are only two games under .500...

The last 3 wins came against SCRUB teams. And all 3 could have gone either way. The Bobcats were actually up by 18 last night. No way the Lakers get close to a 4 seed once they stop playing scrub teams.

My argument is not that u don't have melo at 1(cuz u can make a case for either him or durant) is that fact u have kobe, Duncan, and lebron ahead of him
