8. Carmelo Anthony
本赛季NBA的Mr. Clutch. 在决定比赛胜负的最后一投, Melo17次出手, 命中11次, .647%的命中率, 全联盟第一. 掘金今年伤病不断, 但仍能够在西北赛区中脱颖而出, Melo应记头功. 但我看他比赛, 老觉得他一幅在家里被老爸一顿暴扁后不爽的样子. 而且到了关键时刻, 虽然命中了不少球, 但老给人一种瞎猫碰到死耗子的感觉, 不够果断坚毅.
7. Tony Parker
得分后卫, 1米88身高, 禁区得分全联盟排名第8, 命中率54.8%(!!!), 全联盟第2. 还有个如花似玉的明星女朋友, 给马刺乏味的比赛增色无数.
6. Dwyane Wade
第一次见识Wade是在前年的季候赛, 看热队对步行者, 当时就知道热队有Eddie Jones和Odom, 没想到第四节关键时刻, 每每见一个后卫身高的小个直突禁区, 或暴扣, 或上蓝, 如入无人之境. 回头查NBA的球员名单, 没想到还是个一年纪新生. 后来O’neal加盟, 给了Wade一个flash的绰号, 两人联手, 将热队带到了东部决赛去年. Wade的确是我见过最能突的得分后卫, 第二是Parker, 但Parker进去后多是上蓝, Wade的爆发力超强, 进三秒后经常能腾起直接扣蓝. 在四月份以前, Wade是MVP的绝对热门, 但四月后mourning受伤, 热队成绩下滑, 连带着降低了Wade的形象. 而且如果Wade当选MVP, 一定无数人问: 为什么当年Kobe不行?
5. LeBron James
在连续两年冲击季候赛失败后, King James在加入NBA后第三年终于冲破了这道坎. 31.4PPG, 7.0RPG, 6.6APG, 全面是对Lebron最恰当的形容词. 在NBA之内几乎找不到能对位防守Lebron的人, 用后卫或小前锋防, 他比你壮, 能扛着你打; 用大前锋防, 他比你快, 突你没商量; 用两人包夹, 他能及时分球给空位队友; 超强的得分和助攻能力使他成为本赛季的NBA禁区之王, 更加可怕的是: 他才21岁啊… NBA几乎所有的最年轻什么什么记录, 正一项一项被King James刷新. 唯一缺点, 防守太嫩.
4. Chauncey Billups
如果比赛到了关键时候, 我能够挑选一名NBA球员并且把球交给他的话, Billups是我的第一选择. 我很喜欢活塞对比赛的控制能力, 头几节陪你随便玩玩, 一到决定胜负时刻, 全队像上了发条似的, 一下就能将球场上的压迫力上一个量级, 而活塞的场上领导就是Billups了, 三分, 中投, 助攻, 突破, 罚球, 没有弱点. 我很欣赏Billups关键时刻的眼神, 有MJ当年舍我其谁的感觉.
3. Steve Nash
看看过去五年得分最多的球队, 他们都有一个共同点, Steve Nash是进攻的组织者. 太阳的阵容和去年相比几乎没有相同的人, 球队的第一号得分手全年就上场3次, 然而有Steve Nash, 太阳还是太平洋赛区的冠军. 他的助攻能力像是会传染似的, 新加盟的球员一个个立马从去年的烂队板凳球员上升到球队支柱. 在使球队其他球员更加出色方面, Nash绝对是独一无二的人选. 可惜个人能力上还是稍差了一点.
2. Dirk Nowitzki
都说小牛老板Cuban是个生意人, 但小牛最近两年的买卖真让人看不懂. NBA有个规矩, 如果要卖自己的当家球星, 最好是送到另一个联盟, 这样对自己球队成绩影响会小点. 看看小牛的记录: 前年送走Nash, 球队的组织后卫, Nash加盟同联盟的太阳, 帮助太阳重返季候赛, 当选常规赛MVP; 去年用特赦条款开掉Finley, Finley免费加盟同赛区的马刺, 帮助马刺夺得今年的西部联盟冠军.
而正是这样一只球队, 在球队唯一全明星球员的带领上, 创造了球队的历史最佳战绩. 说实话, 我实在不明白小牛怎么办到的, 看先发名单, 认识的就Nowitzki, 单凭这点, 我觉得Dirk就有资格当选MVP了.
Cuban对Dirk这个赛季的评价:
Dirk for MVP
By Mark Cuban
A team loses last years MVP of the NBA.
Then it loses its 2nd leading scorer to a division rival.
Its coach is in his first year as an NBA coach.
The team is successful in turning its approach to the game around 180 degrees from offense first, to defense first.
Four of its top 8 players are injured for weeks or months at a time.
This isnt a team of 4 all stars.
This isnt a team of 2 all stars, like the teams in the standings ahead of it.
this is a team of 1 All Star.
This is a team that most sportswriters picked to be in the bottom half of the playoff hunt with some saying they would barely make the playoffs and could fall out with injuries. This is a team that no sportswriter I can think of, predicted would win anywhere near 60 games. This is a team that has clearly exceeded the expectations of everyone who follows the game.
Its a team carried by a player who has improved in every area that the team has needed him to improve. While some talk about making the players around them better as a sign of value, this player has made the team around him a better , more successful team. The true sign of value.
So what happens to this team ?
It can set a record for most wins in franchise history this week, 61.
Besides winning 60 or more games, what has the leader of this team accomplished ?
He has hit game winning shots.
He has blocked game winning shots.
He has made passes to game winning shots.
He has been a leader on the court and off.
He has taken the responsibility to carry this team on his back.
He isnt out doing endorsements, selling basketball videos, doing commercials, doing the interview circuit or promoting himself in any way. He just goes to work and busts his ass every single day.
He is a role model in every sense of the word, on the court and off.
There is no player more valuable to his team than Dirk Nowitzki.
Dirk should be the MVP of the NBA.
1. Kobe Bryant
湖人对太阳的比赛要开始了, 懒得写了, 引espn上的一段结尾吧:
Who’s the NBA MVP
By Bill Simmons
You don’t know how much this kills me. Actually, you probably do. But Mamba passes all three MVP questions …
Question No. 1: When remembering this season 10 years from now, which player will pop into your head first?
Answer: Kobe. The dude scored 62 in three quarters against Dallas, then 81 against Toronto a few weeks later. He’s about to become the fifth player in NBA history to average 35 points a game (along with Wilt, MJ, Elgin and Rick Barry). He made up with Shaq. He made up with Phil. He made up with Nike. He appeared on the cover of Slam Magazine with a Mamba snake wrapped around him. He did everything but make the obligatory cameo on “Will and Grace.” No player took more abuse from writers, broadcasters and radio hosts this season, but Kobe seemed to feed off that negative energy. It was almost Bondsian. And just when it kept seeming like he might wear down, he’d toss up another 50 just to keep you on your toes. Kobe was relentless. That’s the best way to describe him this season.
Question No. 2: In the proverbial giant pickup game with every NBA player waiting to play, who would be the first player picked this season?
Answer: Kobe. He’s the best all-around player in the league, the best scorer, the best competitor, and the one guy who terrifies everyone else. Plus, if you DIDN’T pick him, he would make it his mission to haunt you on the other team.
Question No. 3: If you replaced every MVP candidate with a decent player at their position for the entire season, what would be the effect on their teams’ records?
Answer: If you replaced Kobe with a decent 2-guard (someone like Jamal Crawford) for the entire 2005-06 Lakers season, they would have won between 15 and 20 games. I can say that in complete confidence. Terrible team. When Smush Parker and Kwame Brown are your third- and fourth-best players, you shouldn’t even be allowed to watch the playoffs on TV. Throw Kobe in the mix and they’re headed for 45 wins. So he’s been worth 25 victories for them. Minimum.
In a weird way, Kobe ended up getting what he always wanted: The Lakers completely revolve around him. He gets to shoot 25-30 times per game. He gets to take every big shot at crunch-time. He gets all the credit. Nobody else on the team dares to challenge him. And even better, because he lucked out with the only possible coach who could make this cockamamie situation work, his supporting cast kills itself to make him look good.
Basically, he’s Elvis and everyone else is Joe Esposito. And it’s working! That’s the crazy thing.
Now they’re a sleeper in the West — seriously, do you think Phoenix wants any part of them in Round 1? — and have the only player in the league who can win a playoff series by himself. He’s the Black Mamba, he’s Kobe Bryant, he’s the 2006 MVP, and since we finally have that settled, I will now light myself on fire.
