One of the discussions going on in NBA is the MVP candidate. Right now it is the battle between these three players - LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade.

Let's see... To me, i actually feel that the MVP is more of a battle between just two players, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Kobe is of course 1 of the best players in the league, but judging by the stats alone, he is definitely not producing as well as the other 2 players are. Still, he is a very good player, very versatile I must say. Let him loose and he will score, 100%. That's how accurate he is. Just check out on videos and you will be able to see a lot of incredible plays from him.

Moving on...

LeBron James.
This year, the Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely doing VERY well, being the 1st in Eastern Conference. James is also producing good results. Scoring buckets, blocking shots, even dishing out more assists than he had during the last few seasons. I don't think that many Forwards are capable of doing what he is doing now.
He also has great vertical abilities, man, he can just soar from near the free throw lane and then throwing down a monster dunk.
For example, during the last dunk he did at the all-star game, his head was at the rim level. That is how HIGH he can jump.

Dwyane Wade.
For the Miami Heat, they are definitely not as well as the Cavaliers with the winning and losing record pretty close, near 50%. Hence, i must say that more load is cast onto Wade than Cavaliers has on James.
Judging by Wade's performance this year, he is definitely having his best season so far.
He is taking shots, dishing out assists, intercepting balls and passes and most impressive of all, he is blocking more shots than usual. He is the only guard to make it in the top 50 list of Blocks per Game.

If you were to look at personal skills and abilities, I feel that James would stand out more.
However, if you were to look at Team stats as well, I feel that Wade would deserve the title more. He has a heavier burden with a weaker team. Yet, he is still winning matches for the team and also performing well on his own.
It all depends on how you look at it.
Oh well, let's just see how the season will end.

Okay that's all, enough of my thoughts, ciao people!
