I agree with you Kestus. The MVP is the player who means the most to his 
team, not the player with the best stats. Simply put, there is one way to 
determine MVP... Take that player away from the team and how would the teams 
record change. Using that theory, my MVP candidates would be, in no order, 
Duncan, Kidd, Pierce, Payton, Shaq, Mcgrady, Walker. Not making the list are 
Nowitzki, Carter, Kobe... because if you take those guys off the team, the 
team still plays pretty well.
