CP3's minute count is really low this year so I'm not sure how much total value he's providing to his team compared to LeBron or Durant.

At this point, yes it's between these two, and it's razor thin.

The Clippers are stacked.
The clippers bench is helping him more than anyone is helping durant. They lost harden and didnt fall off too much thanks to durant.
The clippers best being so good and lebron already having three. This is durants year
Clippers are too stacked cp3 has too much help to be mvp

melo and cp3 too.both teams lost games while they are gone.
What a weird argument to make. All Clippers starters are low in minutes because they've been blowing out opponents. Their win margin is 10 points, #1 in the league.

I don't think this team is as stacked as the Suns team but Nash won twice. That said, the real MVPs those years didn't have 50+ wins

And CP3 has Blake who averages 20. WB has never been near 30ppg.
wtf is this geocities website and why should I believe these stats over advanced stats from more reputable sites
82games is reputable.
i've never used it, still have the same question. How so?

blake is not nearly as versatile as russel though.

MVP is so patently Durant that it makes me question the level of intelligence in this forum at the moment.
82games is definitely reputable. The problem is with the person mis-using those stats (to put Kobe near the top).
Actually, when you put it this way, that 30 games into the season and somebody is "patently MVP", even when there are multiple players playing at an extremely high level, it is your intelligence that has to be questioned.

Just heard about and read the news about White/the Rockets. It sucks to hear that he's having so much trouble and as much as I want him to overcome his mental issues, it does appear that he's facing this problem in the wrong way, which is probably partly due to his illness and partly due to just a high esteem of himself.
I slightly followed him during his high school years and also during his stint with the Gophers and it was pretty apparent that he has some definite mental disorders outside of just his well-known travel anxiety. Perhaps the biggest example that I can remember is when he was arrested for involvement in some theft of a laptop or something at MOA and shortly after he published a video on youtube talking about how he was leaving the Gophers but at the same time he also went on a long speech of how much he loved the coaches and the programs and how he wanted to help them get lots of success in the future even though he had just announced he was leaving the program. It was really strange to watch, and I'm sure I forgot a lot of the details, but it's definitely apparent that he has some terrible mental problems that have plagued him for most of his life.
It seems that he has embraced social media as a method of talking about his inner feelings, but that I guess/speculate that the comfort he finds in the internet also has held him back from making any true progress offline. He really just needs to pursue true help, but it's hard for me to make any guesses as I don't really know his current situation or anything. While I like giving him the benefit of the doubt, he really has started to push that and is coming off as arrogant/etc, making it harder and harder to support him or feel sorry for his problems.

Kobe would definitely be at the top of the MVP list if it wasn't for his team's record.
ah ok here's the formulas: http://www.82games.com/comm30.htm Just wanted to see how they calculate player values before I blindly believed it
@linsivvi: it's waaaay too close bw durant and LBJ for anyone to call the choice a dumb one
EDIT: sorry meant Gremlin

Teams generally collapse when MVP level players are on the bench for a long time though. The fact that CP3 has the best backup PG in the league makes me wonder how much the Clippers would lose if he got injured. They would be far worse, but the fall off from the Thunder without Durant would seem to be significantly greater.

I'm talking about overall level of play at this juncture in the season. Conjecturing about players' odds of ultimately netting the MVP is complete folly. CP3 is one slip away from a career-ending injury via knee implosion, which makes the speculation about his chances of being this season's MVP ever more hilarious.
That's purely hypothetical. During their win streak they have many blow out wins where the starters played under 30 minutes. In their first 2 wins against the Jazz he played 38 minutes or so because those games where close. The minute/game argument only works if he stays on the bench even during close games, which is definitely not the case here.
Yeah let's pretend that other player don't exist. You are hilarious(ly dumb).
Edit: Are you one of Green Shinobi's alt? Must be. Nobody sane would discount LBJ's chance at MVP...
Give us some reasons why you think KD has this MVP thing locked down.

At what point have I ever insinuated that he does? I said that he's currently the MVP of the season.

hes a media darling like Rose is and thats half the battle. Remember Nash was gifted an MVP over Kobe that one season cause media loved him and the Suns.

Or they just tired of giving it to LeBron like when you know Charles Barkley and Karl Malone won MVP then got raped by MJ in the finals.

whatever, but popularity with the media plays its part. if Kidd hadnt smacked up his wife, hed probably have won a MVP but he got ignored during those Nets years. the one anomaly was the year Iverson won, but who knows how many of those votes were votes against Shaq

Found online, could be useful for some of you smaller market guys or just wanting to get some money off.
I tried it on a few, doesn't look like I can get it down enough for here. I remember the good old days when StubHub had codes all the time and I would get free tickets for the NY Mest.
