umm, the MVP's already been decided, but I'll go with this anyways.

1. Chris Paul
2. LeBron James
3. Kevin Garnett
4. Dwight Howard
5. Deron Williams... please wait for the arguments, I know this is wild pick but, Williams is incredible important to the Jazz

Sorry I didn't come up with more changes, but his is all I got.

Well, I will go with my first argument...

Deron Williams proved this season that he is among the top point guards in the league. Yes, not just top YOUNG point guard, but TOP point guard. He averaged a double double during the regular season (18.8, 10.5) and has elevated his scoring game during the playoffs while keeping his assist numbers up (20.2, 9.1). He is the leader on this Jazz team and a major part of their success. He has great durability playing in all 82 games this season while averaging 37.3 minutes per game, and has gone for 42.2 minutes in the postseason thus far. He has been able to go all season long. Lastly, he makes his teammates better. His passing percision is unmatched by many other point guards.

Stoudemire shouldn't be on this list. He was unleashed after Shaq was brought in a stole a lot of attention. It wasn't until then that he showed his offensive abilities were MVP worthy. Plus he plays with Steve Nash, who could be argued even higher than Stoudemire for MVP. He certainly doesn't deserve to be on this list.

Arguments for LeBron over KG are next...

Well since you didn't argue I'll just say a short bit about Lebron vs. KG.

I know KG has changed the entire basketball culture here in Boston, and has elevated their defensive game, but there is no denying that Lebron James is the Cleveland Caveliers. No other player in the NBA could do what he has done and is doing. Last year he brought his team to the finals and he is making another playoff run. No other player can score 30 ppg and be the playmaker on the team. He grabs rebound and plays defense. I can't think of something Lebron doesn't do for this team. While KG is great and is a top player in the NBA and has done great things for Boston, Lebron is just ahead of him right now.
