At first thought you sound dead on Shub, but if you take a look at some of the names on the list who have won it, they all seem worthy as well...

You may be right, but the Lakers had pretty bad records those 2 years Nash won it so not sure Kobe was deserving then either.
Although he did average 35pts per game one of those years.
But you're right, Kobe and Shaq are 2 of the greatest ever and you would think they would have more than 2 MVP awards between them, but I guess the timing just wasn't in their favor...
Kobe is overrated, known for scoring but only has 2 scoring titles? thats the same amount as T-mac. Yea he has probably been one of the most consistent players for the last 10 years but how people can consider him one of the best ever and he only has 1 MVP award? 2 scoring titles. Rings are won by teams, not individuals. Even MJ needed Scottie
Well I dont watch a ton of basketball but I'll disagree. The only thing durant did better was score and that was just slightly better. From the little bit of basketball I do watch I can fully say that in my opinion Lebron is the best in the league basically every year for awhile now. Nobody else can do all the things he does as well as he does them.
“All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point.”
