Durant for MVP

        Not long ago it was the NBA season opener but now we’ve reached the last game of the season and it was another good year in the NBA.  There were lots of ups and downs that teams had to face, there were high expectations, and but also lots of disappointments.  Many teams reached new heights and now that the playoffs are about to begin we will see how the best teams in each conference will fare against one another.   It’s hard to believe this but some the best players in the league are still getting better each season.

        With the last game finished in the NBA, it’s going to be even more competitive in the playoffs as each teams aspiration is to win the NBA championship.  The favorites in the east are the Miami Heat who is looking for a three-peat and the favorites in the west are the San Antonia Spurs who were in the finals last year.  Although LeBron James is the leader of the Miami Heat and are favorites, people may be wondering why aren’t the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant mentioned.  Its because of the veteran presence and experience the San Antonia Spurs have with Coach Popovich.

        Whether all the talk be about the Spurs/Thunder or Heat/Pacers it really depends who will lead the team.  This year like every other past years we will be focusing on the best two players in the league, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.  The most wondered question between those two are who will win the MVP.  I am going to say that although LeBron is going to do down as one of the greatest players of all the time, I would give the MVP to Kevin Durant.  I truly believe Kevin will win and he certainly deserves it. The reason is that his game hasbecome more Lebron-esque the way he becomes a facilitator and handles the balland passes to open teammates rather than just scoring when he has an open look. 

        Other reasons I say that Durant should win MVP is the fact that he is putting up career highs in points and assists and is going to win his 4^th scoring title in the last 5 years.  Also Kevin Durant has never been number one in his life.  He was the second best player in high school recruits, he was second to be pickedin the draft, second in MVP for a couple of years, and second in the NBA finalstwo years ago.  Hopefully this award will motivate him to be even better.  He is playing the best basketball of his career and its scary that he is only 25 years old and still getting better each year.

        Now that the season is over it time to determine the MVP.  My choice for this year 2014 MVP would go to Kevin Durant for all the hard work he’s put in over the summer and it certainly in game.  He deserves a lot more recognition because it sucks to be called number 2 all the time.  Kevin is really young and still getting better and he going to be a force to reckon with in the league for years to come.

    

So who do you think will win MVP?
