I'm [the NBA's] MVP and I aint goin no where so get to know me

People who arent retards, such as Mr. Fitz know that the MVP race is really down to just two people, Allen Iverson and Shaq O'neal. So Im not gonna waste my time explaining why Steve Nash isnt the MVP because its been debated to death already. What I will do however, is explain why Allen Iverson is a better candidate than Shaq is, even though Shaq will be going deeper into the playoffs.

t really has nothing to do with stats. Of course Iverson's numbers are going to be better, he plays on an exponetially worse team where he has to take most of his shots. However the knock on Iverson has always been that he doesnt get his team involved enough. However this season he is averaging not only 30.5 ppg but also 8.0 assists per game. He is getting these assists btw by throwing the ball to Kyle Korver, who is the definition of a streaky shooter, and Andre Igudala who couldnt hit a mid-range J to save his life. Even with the addition of Chris Webber, Iverson has kept the right balance of scoring and distributing and has rounded his game into the best game in the league.

Normally I dont like penalizing someone for being on a good team, but this is a different circumstance. Shaq is the reason that Miami is as good as it is. People may say that D. Wade has become better also, but Shaq made Wade better. Shaq is definantly the MVP of HIS TEAM. However if you take Shaq off the Heat and give them the Roster they had last year, the Heat still make it to the second round of the Playoffs. Wade is a bonafide star and he could have carried this team to the playoffs. Conversly take Allen Iverson off of his team and you have the Eastern Conference version of the New Orleans Hornets.
