Depends on how you vote MVP. He's putting up video game numbers on a great team at the moment, I think thats a good basis for a MVP vote. I'd actually like to see KD or even PG get one though.
I don't want to hear about efficiency in a league where Rose won MVP shooting 44%. LMA is the best player on the best team in the better confeference. If Blazer get the #1 seed, why shouldn't he win? Nash won 2 and he's never even averaged 20ppg
and Konex ain't about that advanced stats life
LeBron James winning the MVP on these Miami teams doesn't impress me.
LMA has an above average ws/48. Cp3 bron Durant and George are elite.
Even rose, who I don't believe should have won MVP, at least had a superstar level WS/48.
I think you have to out up superstar numbers to be an MVP. LMA is just star level.

Roy Hibbert: 53.6TS%, 47.6FG%, 76.1FT% on 4FTA
But he's made 1 out of 3 3PT this year so I guess that explains why his TS% is 2 points higher than Aldridge's?

No way he shoots 60% on those Cleveland teams. It was him and the Pips for the most part. He shoots a higher percentage now because when you have 3 years playing with other HOFers, you are in a position to take better, more efficient shoots when the defense commits to those other guys.

No, it's because Hibbert's FTA/FGA rate is .414 to LMA's .247, but LMA is still more efficient because he doesn't turn it over while Hibbert does, but Hibbert isn't really an awesome offensive player when he's not playing Chris Bosh or Ryan Anderson.
It's a weighted average of the shots a given player takes.I didn't realize it took the rate into account. B-R makes it sound far more pedestrian:
TS% -- True Shooting Percentage; a measure of shooting effeciency that takes into account 2-point field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.
MVP generally goes to the best player on the team with the best record...at least recently.
Cloudy gonna get yaLakers didn't have the best record in 2008.
Lakers didn't have the best record in 2008.
Explain Nash winning twice with arguably less impressive stats than Isaiah Thomas (Kings not Zeke) on a loaded team?
Better than everyone but the Celtics and none of their guys was close to Kobe stats-wise

How can you compare him to Thomas?

Thomas right now is a better player than Nash has ever been
Please don't. Almost as bad as harden is a higher ft% Xavier...Thomas right now is a better player than Nash has ever been
And with that I'm off to bed. I'll read all the flameposts tomorrow lol
He's gotten significantly better since moving over to Miami and I'd argue that he still gets more double teams than most anybody in the league. Dude takes like two-three players to the hole on each drive.
Yep, this is the worst basketball opinion of all time.Thomas right now is a better player than Nash has ever been

LMA's plus or minus this year is definitely MVP-worthy though (+9.6 on, -8.9 off, like going from the best team in the NBA to the worst team in the NBA), but that probably has a lot to do with his backup being Thomas Robinson as well though.
I still don't know how much better he's playing than the last few years where he wasn't a candidate though so it would seem weird to give him MVP for Damian Lillard now being a teammate and Wesley Matthews taking a few levels in awesome.
don't ever include chalmers as a positive.When he gets hit with those doubles and triples now, he is passing out to Bosh, not Andy Verajao...to Wade not Mo Williams...huge difference.
He is in a great rhythm playing with 2 other, not only HOFers but 2 other FRANCHISE SUPERSTARS in their primes for going on 4 years now. I would expect him to get more efficient as he has to do less. He isn't expected to play out of his mind every night to give the team a chance to win.
He can score 20/5/5 and there is enough offense to shoulder the load. Wade/Bosh/Jesus/Chalmers/etc. makes all this a lot easier for him.
I think your giving too much credit to lebrons ugly post gamedon't ever include chalmers as a positive.
also, being in miami has definitely helped him pick his spots better, But his post game development and better jumper have just as much if not higher impact. and pretty much everything i said in my earlier post.
hell even wade is being super efficient now because he's dusted off his post game and implementing it a TON more this year. and he's shooting the best he has in years.

Ugly but still literally the most effective in the league.I think your giving too much credit to lebrons ugly post game
He averaged more assists with the cleveand teams, they were crazy effecient in the regular season.
LBJ's field goal percentage jump boils down to; Alot smarter field goal attempts, Alot better shooting, Alot better post-game, then team mates.
I really don't see how how can downplay him improving his game in the off-season by screaming "but the teamates"
So reilo, we are penciled in to come down to Portland again for the Wolves game on the 25th. It was either that or the Baaaaaaaaw-ston game on the 11th.
I figured the Wolves game would be more entertaining...and I would get to see NON
Wtf is NON
Google "Superman 2 NON" and all should be made clear.
You ever wonder why teams don't double-team LaMarcus in the post, like, ever?
SighBecause he only shoots 47%?
Also mama, if you look at the next 5 PPG spots after Lebron on his two teams, cleveland actually averaged more than 3pts above the Heat's for this year.
Someone send this dummy back to the NHTSA.
