Many of those people have had incredible seasons so I will choose the top 3.
3. Amare Stoudmire - He has been phenominal, he has been scoring with confidence, also doing well on defense, but also a very nice piece to the puzzle for the Suns. I think he is very talented.
2. Dwayne Wade - Just like Amare, he is just unbelievable. Today he got his first career triple double which was an amazing preformance verse the defending champs. He can score whenever he wants. I compare him to Shaq because, again, he can score whenever he wants. Now, this guy is Shaq's little brother.
1. Lebron James - We can't forget about Bron Bron. He has been sensational. He can rebound the ball. He can make his teammates be better. He can also shoot the ball which he has been better at this year. He is solid when it comes to pressure. But the most amazing part is, he is only 20 years old.

Tough question
I had to Go with Amare even though a lot of these guys are having good seasons. But he's so dominant and so improved. He's the best player on the best team (record wise) at the moment. Lebron is also awesome, and Dirk is showing he doesn't need Nash to dominate. Chris is also having a great season considering a lot of people (even Kings Fans) wrote him off at the end of last year. Ray Allen talked mad trash to Kobe, and so far he's backing it up... Kobe doesn't even have a prayer of beating Rays team any time soon. And Dwayne Wade seems unstoppable(especially at the end of close games). All these guys are having good years.

bron bron.
amare has one of the best PG's setting him up. bron is doing it by himself.
i still can't believe this guy is the same age as me ( ok techincally he isn't, but he did grauate the same year i did. close enough
)
and i continue to be amazed at what webber is doing considering the surgery he's had. for him to be averaging the same numbers ( well close enough, half a rebound short, i can live with that) that he averaged pre surgery is just amazing. so YAH WEBBER!

I agree with most of this. Don't forget, Amare's not much older than LeBron. If his rebounding numbers were up a little more, he'd be right up there in MVP consideration.Bballkingsrock said:Many of those people have had incredible seasons so I will choose the top 3.

I chose based on best season compared to previous seasons and expectations for this season, rather than just stats. In this scenario, I had a hard time choosing between Steve Nash and Grant Hill, ended up choosing Hill because of the feel-good factor AND that he is making a huge difference in the Magic as he was supposed to.

There ya go...better?Gargamel said:
Actually, I think KG is still putting up the most amazing numbers of any of those guys. Only way he's not top of the list is if you're including some sort of "exceeding expectations" calculation, in which case Bron, Wade, Amare, even Hill are the real stories of the season.

Still plays in the league, still a serious MVP candidate. But if you ask "who is having the best year"...well, Tim is, as always, just having his normal year. Never changes. Doesn't have good years. Or bad ones. Just is Tim Duncan. (actually I think his per minute production is up a bit this year, but we're still talking 22pts 12rebs 2.5blks. Ho-hum.KA_2 said:

heh...not really. its just their incredible defense. where teams like detroit have been hurt incredibly by david stern's stricter foul rules, SA has thrived. dunno why that is, but they lead the league in fewest pts/game allowed at somewhere in the ballpark of 85. when ya only need to score 86 pts/game on the average to win, its not gonna be terribly difficult to compile a winning record.Nikos said:Yep. Duncan is actually not playing that many minutes for an elite NBA player @34.7mpg. Minutes are down this season. Career average is 38.7mpg.
I guess Rasho, Horry, and Rose are holding down the fort for them

I know what you mean. Duncan and KG continually being the top 2 undisputable MVP candidates gets boring, and fans need to talk about the other MVP candidates, like LeBron, Wade, Shaq, etc.Bricklayer said:Still plays in the league, still a serious MVP candidate.

Still, it's Duncan this year, especially if the Spurs continue to blow teams out.
