Critics already canceling Lebron and others out as MVP

All the talk swirling around the NBA concerning the MVP award is about Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki. Yeah, they've had a good year, but nothing spectacular. Both the Suns and Mavericks will have their way in the first round. The two superstars are doing a little bit of everything to keep their teams as the top-seeds in the West. Nash averages 19 ppg with 11.5 assists whereas Nowitzki is the team scoring leader for the Mavs with 25 ppg. Much of the incredible talent on both teams is overlooked however, deterring from the real reasons why the Western contenders are so strong.

I have a problem with those who are think it's predetermined Lebron James won't win MVP. Just because the Cavaliers don't have the best record in the East doesn't mean jack squat regarding an individual player award. He's damn near single-handedly kept Cleveland near Detroit the whole season in second place and in position to garner a top seed for the playoffs. I have to ask the naysayers, where would the Cavs be without King James? Another name which comes to mind is Kobe Byrant and Tracy McGrady. They have spectucular years too. To be fair here while McGrady has Yao and cast of other stars Kobe has relatively no star duo or trio in Los Angeles to compliment him (with the exception of Lamar Odom).

These NBA leaders deserve the consideration for the MVP. Out of everyone James is of course the youngest player and that will rule against him despite several remarkable performances. His contribution to Cleveland is unmeasurable because he can do so many intangibles on the court. I don't want to see Nash win the award again because he has so many scorers around to bale him out in clutch moments. He can drain big shots, no doubt about that though he's not a dominator on the court nor can solely resurrect his team by trailing by a wide margin (normally doesn't have to, yes I know). Guys like Lebron and Kobe shouldn't be overlooked too soon they may surprise everyone in the postseason.
