    yea but wade does deserve all of those. He is avg what? 30 5 7 2 and 1? He is avg the most ppg in the league. Not to mention he is avg more steals and blocks then Kobe and LeBron.

    1984 Record: 44-38 (9th in west)
    1985 Record: 42-40 (7th in west; 1st round exit)
    1986 Record: 51-31 (3rd in west; swept in finals)


    The Grizzlies theme this season should be : "This Season, We're Doing It For The Lulz"

        But we already knew he was arguably better than Kobe and LeBron. He has been in the discussion since the 06 Finals, and he got injured, big deal. After the Olympics, after everyone saw he was fully fit again, we (most intelligent people anyway) put him right back where he was, among the best in the game.

        No need to hop more on top of his nutsack and give him Most Improved, when he was already top 5 in the league, LOL.

        Seriously, what jump impresses more, jumping from around 5 in the league to top 2, like Wade has done, or jumping from mid 50s to top 20 like Devin Harris did this year, for example?

          LMAO @ ppl calling Wade the Most Improved. The dude already won a fucking Finals MVP, he was already a beast.. hes in MVP discussion, not MIP discussion. Come on people.

          Devin Harris is the only correct answer. Jameer would've been arguable if he stayed healthy. Mo Williams was already a baller, but we'll see how the voters feel about that.

            Millsap would've been a good pick if he didnt fall off the face of the earth in the 2nd half of the season.

            People dont remember, but Troy Murphy was putting up similar numbers in Golden State when healthy. He took a leap this year but hes always been a baller.

              Probably the worst post in VSN history. I'd rather go against Wade than Shaq. Does that make Shaq DPOTY over Wade? Just a dumb comment.

If anything playing in Cleveland only has given Williams more exposure, but not necessarily made him better,.

                The MIP should go to Devin Harris.
                I'm pretty sure it was harder for Mo to put up the numbers he did in Milwaukee compared to how he does it in Cleveland. Again, he wasn't the featured guy, but he didn't have the talent around him that he does this year, thus making it easier for him, therefore the LeBron makes you better theory just becomes the LeBron makes it easier for you theory.

                  Mo Williams and Michael Redd's chemistry in Milwaukee was shit.

                    Just reiterating, there's no way in hell Wade wins this award, already a Finals MVP and bona-fide superstar, just injured.

                    Also no way in hell Kevin Durant wins for whoever suggested that. He was Rookie of the Year last season.

                    Harris will probably win.

                      Shaq should be most improved player.

                        I'm not saying they were best buds, but it was more conflicting playing styles than chemistry. Redd needs a true point guard (just like TJ Ford :banghead to be an great scorer, and apparently Redd was valued higher than Mo.
