With the NBA season quickly coming to an end who is the MVP of this season. You have several candidate who could be considered from, Kobe Bryant,Lebron James, Pau Gasol,Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, just to name a few but what does the MVP really mean?

Does MVP mean the best individual player? Does it mean the player that makes his team better or the player that actually carry his team. This is how i see the MVP Race as of right now

1. Lebron James: PPG: 30.6 RPG: 8.1 APG 7.6

2. Kobe Bryant: PPG: 28.3 RPG 6.1 APG 5.3

3. Chris Paul : PPG: 20.9 RPG 4.0 APG 10.9

4. Dwight Howard: PPG: 21.6 RPG 14.5 APG 1.3

5. Carlos Boozer: PPG 21.5 RPG 10.8 APG 3.0

The main reason I see Lebron as the leading candidate for MVP is without him on the Cleveland Cavaliers where would they be Lebron is by far the ultimate team player. He is a player who can create his own shot or get his teammate involved in the game. He Play with high energy and is very intense on offense and defense. Also who else does Lebron have on that team Big Z thats not a lot of help and for Lebron to be as successful as he is without another true star on that team is remarkable and worthy of winning the MVP.

Kobe Bryant Has always been a amazing player. The reason i have him at # 2 is because he needs the big donminate center to help him . That is not to take away from his amazing ability and the gift to play the game . It's the fact's that show with shaq 3 ring without shaq 0 simple math if you ask me.

Chris Paul is third on my list because wow look it at where he has led his team. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year that this team would be so good this late into the season Chris Paul leads this team and is responsible for where they are today in my opin ion I dont believe the hornets would be in this position without him.

I have Dwight Howard at number 4 he is dominate down low and he is just a beast to guard in the paint and he is doing all of this at a very young age . Dwight howard is by far one of the most dominate centers of this decade.

Carlos Boozer is number five because he is the finisher and he has great low post moves. With the amergence of Derron Williams at the PG position it almost looks like stockton and Malone all over again. Carlos Boozer is beast down low on every possesion. He is a very good defender and shot blocker and he does it on both ends of the floor.
