2007-08 NBA MVP Race

This has been a good season in the NBA. Ignoring the Leastern Conference, where our beloved Washington Bullets fight the good fight, the Wild West has been the best its ever been. I feel like I could go Stephen A. Smith over this except that I hate Stephen A. Smith and would never ever emulate him in any way if it could at all be helped. Stephen A. Smith is not our 2007-2008 NBA MVP. 2 minutes on who is:

My top 3, in order: Garnett, Paul, Kobe.
Garnett changed the entire culture of the Celtics. He restored glory to the NBA’s most revered franchise. He’s tough, he’s intense, he’s a team player, he just wants to win. Plus he’s scary as shit, no one’s gonna fuck with him or do him wrong. He’s this millennium’s Bill Russell, a coach on the court.
Paul gets my second place vote because this team would be nothing without him, as was proven when he went down last year. Yes, they’ve got great weapons (West, Chandler, Peja), but he’s the guy that makes it all happen.

Everyone has narrowed down the race to Kobe Bryant versus Queen James with a little bit of Chris Paul on the side. Kobe is considered the best all around player on a top level team. Queen James has the most talent and is carrying a mediocre team, similar to Kobe the last few years when he hasn’t won. Then there’s Chris Paul. His team needs him the most. His team has a great shot at winning the West. Plus I hate the selfish Kobe who is finally happy now that his team made one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history. Turns out Kobe was wrong the whole time and the Lakers were getting him help after all. Bitch. I’d say Chris Paul gets my vote but Stephen Jackson is my true MVP hero, crazy motherfucker that he is.

Andray Blatche

Here's our two minutes on Andray Blatche, the up and coming high school second rounder for the Washington Wizards:

Andray is really coming on as advertised. The welfare-man’s version of Kevin Garnett, Blache is slowly learning to dominate in aspects of his game.
His ability to block/change shots is among the best in the league. If he played every minute of every game, he’d block about 4 a game. He’s learning to control his body better and score in bunches now.

Andray Blatche is a homeless man’s Kevin Garnett. Well, a homeless Kevin Garnett without all the scary intensity that guarantees his place in the MVP discussion. The homeless Kevin Garnett can block shots, sometimes play great defense, sometimes score a lot, sometimes rebound well and sometimes get arrested for soliciting a prostitute. Blatche isn’t the brightest crayon in the box and there are rumors of horribly mismanaged money incidents but I think he has a future. If he does mature into the true homeless man’s Garnett he could be an important player.
