The NBA wants to have that dominant player that they used to have in Olajuwan, Jordan, etc.

Duncan is now the logo of the NBA.

Also, if Garnett got it, you would argue about Kobe, McGrady, Wallace, and Iverson. But in Duncan, all you have to say is this "His team had the best record". No one will argue with that. End of the story.

Tim Duncan is the NBA MVP because he deserves it.
He lead the Spurs to the best record in the NBA while averaging 23-13-4-4. He'll be all NBA first team on both sides of the ball. You can't make much of an argument with that. He is the MVP.

Congradulations to Tim Duncan he deserved the award. Even though Kevin Garnett had a awesome year. But IV why would you put Ben Wallace there he didn't come close to the numbers KG and Kobe and T-MAc and TD had.

What do you mean? I didn't have Ben Wallace as one of my top MVP canidates. However, I can understand why his name deserved to be mentioned. Ben Wallace is defensively what Kobe, Shaq, and Tmac are offensively. He also lead his team to the best record in the East, won the rebounding title again, and is the DPOY. Show him some luv.

because duncan got more votes.

how can garnett have easily earned the honors when his production was similar, defensively it's arguable who has the bigger impact, and his team was 10 games worse? seems like it would be more obvious that duncan easily earned th honors. it was close race. duncan was just as deserving as anyone. it should be pretty obvious. it's not like kg was obviously more productive but his team was worse.

it's voted on by sportswriters. do you really think duncan is the logo of the nba? c'mon. he's not exactly their most marketable superstar.

the point is kg and duncan have striking similar stats and impact to their own respective team, but duncan already had his share of the award, so why not give to someone more deserving ?????
kg have his best season at this point of his career and he is more deserving than duncan, and its not like duncan have overwhelming stats than kg, so it will be more meaningful if they
give the award to kg.
every year they should give the award to a different player
as sign of encouragement, instead of giving to someone who
already had their share of glory.

that's jacked reasoning. whether duncan or kg was most deserving isn't my point. my point is that the mvp award should go to the leagues most valuable player, not to the player who hasn't won the award yet. while that may be the most fair, and may work, it's not why the award is that. seriously, these guys are already making millions of dollars, do we have to alter how we distribute awards, just to ensure that nobody gets their feelings hurt?

Just because you have the best season of your career doesn't mean you are the MVP. I agree with kflo. The votes go to duncan because his team won more games. It as simple as that. The MVP is based on which player had the most valueble season with win/lose record weighting heavily. Duncan is the guy.

I am curious who the 3 Bozos are who voted for Shaq. Shaq waited until September to have his toe surgery, thus causing him to miss the preseason and the beginning of the season. He was not in playing shape until at least January. The Lakers failed to contend until shortly before the All-Star break. They were missing a key component to their team. Most Valuable Player? Hardly.

your reasoning is even more PATHETIC !!!!!! define me the meaning of most "VALUABLE" player in your own words ?????
who is more "VALUABLE" to their respective team ?????
without kg, t wolves are a perrenial lottery team and without duncan i am sure spurs can still have a better records than t wolves without kg.
kg is simply more IMPORTANT than duncan to their respective team and clearly it shows.
duncan and kg both share similar stats and yet duncan have a much better supporting cast, spurs dont win more games only because of duncan, it is because they have a much better, deeper supprting cast than kg.
you replace kg with duncan and they will also pass the suns in the first round and will also have similar records !!!!!!!
that dont means duncan is more deserving for mvp !!!!!!

What's really pathetic is using a bunch of speculation to prove a point when you've already lost the argument. Duncan is the MVP, and your rambling can not change a thing. I wont even argue with you about your reasons for why the wolves supporting cast is so much of a lesser supporting cast than the spurs. That's just foolish. You're back pedaling now and should stop before you dig a dipper whole. Tim Duncan is the 2003 MVP. If you have a beef with it go write the 60 some reporters who voted for him. Until then shut your pie hole!
