    He's amazing.

    He should get the MVP.

    The man is playing out of his mind but there is no way the voters can justify giving him the MVP when Kobe didn't get it after having one of the greatest individual seasons in league history (the 35 ppg year).

    even though i think he should win the mvp..he isn't because the team isn't one of the best. lebron is gonna get it but dwayne has been playing ridiculous!! like every game that guy can't get under 35 points..

    Lebron or Kobe would get it cuz they have a better record due to their supporting cast.

    If u took Kobe of the Lakers, Lebron of the Cavs, and Wade of the Heat, the order record wise would be lakers, cavs, and then heat.

    Wade is more valuable to the Heat than Kobe to the Lakers or Lebron to the Cavs....idk if Miami would ever win a game with no Wade.

    So Wade SHOULD WIN but the nba sees it differently

    but i think the rationale for selecting wade as mvp goes beyond his individual performance. take him off that team and they would probably have the same record they did last year. for example, they are close to the hawks in the standings, and when you look at the players besides joe johnson, you have josh smith, al horford, and marvin williams. when you look at the heat, they have jermaine o'neal and after that only role (albeit reliable) players.

    take kobe off that team. hell take lebron off his team THIS YEAR. what wade is doing isn't something new. great players have had spectacular seasons if they're one-man show and have led teams to the playoffs before.

    You could say that about any runner up to the mvp from past years. You can't all of a sudden change the criteria. That would be what they call hypocrisy.

    Yes, I said he's better than Kobe. He's more 'like Mike'. Wade lead the team the way that Kobe never can do.

    I think he wants to finish his career in Miami. We could never match the Heats best offer.

    One of only 4 or 5 true superstars in the league, but by far my favorite player in the league.

    Winning over the Jazz only makes it that much sweeter.

    No he won't. The Rockets have no chance whatsoever of getting Lebron or Wade in the 2010 sweepstakes. Heck, I am not even sure that we can retain Yao if we don't have SOME post-season success soon, or if we don't throw a max offer at him (which I absolutely think would be a disaster if it were to happen, because Yao is not max contract worthy in the same way Amare is not: neither is a franchise player).

    But that is a different argument for a different day.

    50-Point, 10-Rebound Game By Guards = Jordan, Kobe and Wade

    50+ points, 10+ rebounds, 9+ assists in a single game = Wilt, Kareem, E.Baylor and Wade

    Amazing.

    Did not Lebron do it earlier this season (In NYC)? I thought he barely missed out on the first 50-10-10 triple double in like three or four decades.

    Or was that a 50-9-10 instead of a 50-10-9? Still, it is just as impressive.

    wade is just a freak right now but to be fair, lebron has been just as ridiculous. he did just follow up 3 consecutive triple doubles with a 51 point, 9 assist game.

    Yeah, Lebron had 9 rebounds.

    I took a look at Wade's game logs and it's just insane...
