When he was injured early in the season.....Phoenix went on a losing skid and the team dropped over 10 pts a game in scoring. Amare was averaging just under 20 pts.
When Shaq was injured......Miami was still able to play .500 ball without him in the line-up.
They both can win and I think they should share the award, but I think Shaq wins it this year. I just do not see giving it to someone averaging less than 15 points per game. They are both deserving. Hopefully Shaq wins
