"If rap was a game I'll be MVP, the most valuable poet on the M.I.C." Big L "MVP"
Doesn't matter if it is the rap game or the sports game debate over who is the true MVP will always cause controversy.
If you have been following me on Twitter you should know how hotly the NBA MVP topic has been debated (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline).
The reason being everyone's definition of Most Valuable Player is a little different. Of course the only person's opinion that should matter is mine. Why you ask? Because I am a BonaFide Sports Expert and I only speak the truth.
So without further ado here is my 2008-09 NBA MVP:
1-Lebron James 28.4 7.6 7.4 48.9%
The King is the only person in the league who I believe is capable of averaging a triple double, but 28 7 7 while shooting almost 50% from the field is pretty impressive.
Add on he has led his team to the best record in the league, has improved his defense tremendously & has developed not quite a "serial killer" a mentality, but at least an "assault with a deadly weapon" mentally it all adds up in my mind to what should be an unanimous selection for MVP.
Also I want to point out to the D Wade supporters who say that Lebron has the far superior team to the Heat. While I agree that the Cavs are better than the Heat, we aren't talking about the 86 Celtics here. You are talking about a team that gives quality minutes to Wally Szczerbiak for goodness sake. Lebron has taken a team filled with B- and C level players and led them to 65+ wins. Considering they will have more wins this year than the Celtics had last year with three hall of fame caliber players on their roster tells me all I need to know about The King. That is why he is my MVP.
*Sidenote*
Lebron gets a bonus MVP vote from me for helping me come up with the phrases "Pimp Focus" & "Reject Bench". If you don't know what that means Google it and you will see what I am talking about.
2- Dwyane Wade 30.2 7.5 4.6 49.1
Here is all you need to know about D Wade:

Boston Celtics Easter Sunday Holiday
The Celtics stay home for Easter and don't show against Cleveland in a massacre 107-76. Cleveland showed up like this was the championship game while the Celts were simply not there.

Want an NBA Rebirth? Then We Need LeBron vs Kobe
Last year, all the NBA honks kept telling us that the Celtics-Lakers series signalled the next step in a great rivalry. Not me. Sure, my introduction to the ways of the NBA was during those epic battles between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in the 1980s but that has nothing to do what is going on in the minds of the youngsters who are being introduced to the league now. Think about...
