Should Lebron win the MVP?

[BAYAMONXXX]

i think lebron should win the mvp but it's going to be very interesting. if the lakers & cleveland met in the finals because the lakers have a excellent coach in phil jackson. plus the NBA needs an Kobe vs Lebron finals lasts years one was so FN wack!!!

 

[Skyraider22]

I'm a Lakers fan and a Kobe fan but DeWayne Wade has been playing out of his mind.:glugglug:

it they went by stats wade would get it, but if they went by leadership then Lebron or Kobe would win it

they go by stats and leadership. which is why lebron will win it.

I found some pretty interesting stats from Premium Link Upgrade which measures a player's "clutch"

If Kobe, Dwyane, and Lebron were to play an entire 48 minute game the way they do in the last five minutes(crunch time), here is what their stats would look like:


Kobe Bryant

56.4 Pts
6.2 Ast
9.2 Reb
0.0 Blk
1.1 Stl
2.9 T/o
91% Ft
42% 3pt

LeBron James

55.9 Pts
12.9 Ast
13.8 Reb
1.8 Blk
3.6 Stl
4.9 T/o
86% Ft
45% 3pt

Dwyane Wade

51.2 Pts
9.3 Ast
5.4 Reb
5.7 Blk(lol, that's more than Dwight Howard, 2nd in league)
3.4 Stl
4.0 T/o
73% FT
28% 3pt

So when you look at the numbers, Lebron James does the most for his team when it's "crunch time". That's why he will be MVP!

You've obviously never seen a Cavs game, have you? The stats are veeeery misleading. LeBron misses more clutch shots than he makes. He's been like that since his rookie year.

I totally agree... but that's not my point. It about production in the last five minutes in the game and he does more than anybody.

He also turns the ball over more than anybody too. That hurt his team, especially during the last 5 minutes of the game. What I'd really like to see is his shooting percentage for the last few minutes of the game. I bet it sucks, especially if you boil it down to the last 1 minute of a game, when it REALLY counts.

I read somewhere Carmello Anthony was statistically the most clutch shooter in the league. Chauncey Billups, Gilbert Arenas and Dwyane Wade were up there too. Kobe and Lebron were both low.

 

[rwill25]

After watching the 2006 finals, I will always pick Wade over anybody.

I think there is this perception that "Lebron is not clutch", but here are some stats that prove he actually does a lot during the final minutes. Now, Lebron, isn't even on my top 5 fav players, but he's having a great season and their in first place. He should be awarded for that!

What amount of those stats were in a clutch situation though? The Cavs could've been losing by 25 points with only 5 minutes to go, rendering his stats meaningless. They also could've been winning by 25 points with only 5 minutes left, rendering his stats meaningless as well.

this is all theoretical.

Yes, and that applies to every player. I just thought these stats were kind of intresting, I'm not trying to say he's the most clutch player, but he does some great things in final minutes. Actually, I often see Lebron stay in the game when he close to having a triple double, and they have a sizable lead. Lebron is a stat padder, but it's helping his MVP case.

 

[rwill25]

this is all theoretical.

But they're 100% correct! It's just stretched to make them a little bit more understandable because we usually go by the entire game stats.

Remember it's just the last five min

LEBRON should win the mvp and i wouldn't mine seeing a lakers vs cleveland nba finals that's what i said!
