LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
So far, I'd say the likely candidates are LeBron, Durant and Melo. I think Kobe's playing at an MVP level but the Lakers' record won't help him right now. Thoughts?

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
I'd say LeBron and KD are definitely the front runners followed by guys like Kobe, Randolph, CP3 etc.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
To win it, LeBron will have to play much more exceptionally than he's playing right now. He's been content to hold back until he has to take over late in games, and the stats have reflected that. Guys like Greg Monroe and Larry Sanders have beaten him to a triple double this year, not to mention Durant and Bryant. Voter fatigue will be a factor. If the Heat have a far better record than the other top candidate, he may not need the transcendent stats, though.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
It might be Durant's year. They've been trying to get him one for a minute now but LeBron has been special these past few years.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
Right now it's Melo. This is just as much a story award as it is a production one. He has everything going for him: 1) Redemption. 2) Surprising record. 3) Missing his co-star. 4) Leading the NY revival. 5) Rounding out his game.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
Dr., the quicker you realize LeBron is a terrible choke artist who only won a ring because Spo got it for him and Durant took it easy because he felt bad about getting a ring before The Chosen One, the quicker you'll stop embarrassing yourself here and in life.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
Just looked at the stats (should've done that before posting the first time). Durant's are clearly better than Melo's, but as we saw with Rose, the narrative often wins out. I'd personally give it to Kevin over Melo right now.

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
Anyone not from Memphis going to mention Zach Randolph or does he not get consideration because he's not much better than Gasol or Gay?

re: LeBron James - 2012-13 Most Valuable Player
The michael jordan rule is in effect for me. Lebron is the best player in the league and he is on the best team. He wins it every year until that fact changes
