Comments on: Dwyane Wade’s Making His Move in the MVP Race http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/dwyane-wades-making-move-mvp-race/5786 Brown Bag it, Baby Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:51:17 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Larry Brown http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/dwyane-wades-making-move-mvp-race/5786/comment-page-1#comment-519142 Larry Brown Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:36:37 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/?p=5786#comment-519142 I can buy the winning team argument because like I said, D-Wade got his 50 against Orlando in a game they lost by like 30. But the numbers he's putting up right now are unlike any I've seen done before. He has ridiculous shooting percentages, amazing scoring lines, tons of assists, and his steal numbers have been amazing. In last night's win against the Bulls, Wade willed them to victory, getting the steals and blocks in all the key spots down the stretch, in addition to hitting 3's and setting up easy alleyoops. He's playing the best ball in the league right now. There's still 15 games left for that to change.

They made the playoffs for 2 years as a low seed, but Kobe was absolutely going off those years because he had no help, i.e. Smush Parker. If winning was a factor in freaking Steve Nash getting 2 MVPs, why all of a sudden should the winning argument take a back seat in the argument this year? Wade is having a great year, but in no way is he the MVP over LeBron or Kobe. The whole argument against Kobe in the couple years after Shaq and before Gasol, was that the team wasn’t good enough.
