The Thunder are 20-4, best record in the league.
Look at the numbers of the transcendent player that is KD:
27.1 PPG
8.3 RPG
4.2 APG (love this particular stat)
1.4 BPG (this one, too!)
1.5 SPG
51% FG
44% 3FG
90% FT
65% TS (oh mah lawd!)
His numbers give me the chills. His game is phenomenal. He scores within the flow of offense and takes less shots than the next best scorer on his team (Westbrook). He rebounds, he plays D, he shares the basketball. He is the complete package.
I am of this school of thumb: the MVP belongs to the best player on the team with the best record. And when that player has the best numbers of anyone in the league? That just solidifies the choice.
Carmelo Anthony has impressed me so much this season. LeBron has been LeBron. Chris Paul has been his usual wonderful self, and Tim Duncan has continued to outrun Father Time. Nuff respect to Randolph in Memphis. But if the MVP was voted on today, it would go to the man, KD.
