I think he will most likely finish 4th in the voting behind some combination of KG, T-Mac, and Tim Duncan.

I loved the game last night! I love both Michael and Kobe!

Thought it was cute when Kobe rushed Michael and Kobe stood

over him pretending to beat him up! Both of them were on

fire last night. They were definitely playing off of one

another which made it one hell of a game to watch!

Jordanwas Hot for One Quarter but Kobe Blew His Ass out the last 3 in a Breeze&I was glad.time for Jordan to Sit down&take them tired Wizards with Him.The East is a Badd Joke.I did like Kobe standing over Jordan that was funny.Kobe&Kevin Garnett&are 1&2 for MVP IMHO this Year take your pick.after them I'd say Ben Wallace&T-Mac,then Shaq&Tim Duncan.

Forgive me, I have a soft spot for Jordan!

I do agree that it is time for him to take the bench

but I just love watching him play! Just as I will Kobe 10

years from now. (if he plays that long)

Hmmm, well, I've never been one to predict an order of mvp candidates, but on another note; I was telling Max that I think KG is better than Duncan. But after KG's game against the Lakers when he let MARK MADSEN, of all players, completely take him out of his game, I have to change my mind. Though, having said that, I STILL think that KG can potentially be better than Tim Duncan.

Supernova said:

I've been watching KG all season and he has been amazing. True that the Lakers game certainly wasn't his best, but his play overall has been amazing.

Before this season I was never that hyped on KG, but he has completely won me over this season with his insanely incredible play.

I just think it's a shame that the T-Wolves are so rarely televised nationally that one bad game is able to tarnish his greatness.

Watch the Wolves play the Mavs tomorrow and look for big things.

KG&Kobe for MVP but you can make the Yearly Argument for Shaq&Tim Duncan.when Shaq Calls you The Big Fundemental that is the Highest Compliment I can think of.Duncan ain't Soft like KG when it comes to Money time because Tim Duncan will Hit that Glass Shot on you&ain't scared of the 4th Quarter.don't get me wrong Kevin Garnett is in my top Players of Today along with Shaq,Duncan,Kobe&T-Mac but of those 5 Kevin Garnett is last amongest them at stepping up when the Cards are on the Table IMHO.

I hear ya on that, trust me; the truly elite players come through in pressure games, and there are no higher pressure games than during the post season. This would leave both McGrady and Garnett below the top tier players. That doesn't mean the top tier players come through 100% of the time - nobody does, but they don't have a history of it, short as their careers are at this point.

Shaq won't win the mvp this season because he didn't start playing like Shaq til within the past 2 or 3 weaks. He wasn't in game shape til then. Though even before that he was still the best at his position, by far. But when healthy he's the most unstoppable player out there. Sometimes I have my criticisms of Shaq though...

My Major Knock on Shaq is that He doesn't care about the Regular Season&I Wonder if He came into Shape like Kobe&Played a Whole Season just How Much More Damage He would do? He underscores His Overall Dominance in a way&there is no telling how much further He would be with coming into a Season on His A Game all the way??? Yep T-Mac&KG are Lumped together but I feel more for T-Mac because KG did have Mauberry&Googs at one time&Now Wally.T-Mac had Vince&then had to Move on&While Grant Hill was a Really Good Player when Healthy by the time He came to the Magic He has been a Lemon on Half a Wheel!T-Mac is a Badd Cat&He has gone through alot this Year.if Vince was Smart He might think about Paying Orlando a Visit in the Off-Season since His Air-Canada Days are almost done with the Raptors??
