For sure...Dirk gotta start and i actually think hes playing better then is MVP season.
KLJ......you uh, gave me a little grief about saying I thought Peja should be starting.....now uh.....you like it huh?
And I still like Posey, even if he isn't the same as he was in Boston.
Who does Philly play next, Georgetown?
They keep playin AI'sformer teams. I was impressed he passed up the last shot for AI2. Make or miss, I give him credit for trusting someone else. See if it lasts though. Hedoes seem to be at least happy back in Philly, that goes for something.

I "gave you grief" because you were talking about the team and had no idea Peja wasn't starting.

We're about a quarter of the way through the season, who's everyone's early MVP leaders?
Here's mine:
1) Kobe Bryant
2) Carmelo Anthony
3) LeBron James
4) Dirk Nowitzki
5) Dwyane Wade
Honorable Mentions: Kevin Durant and Steve Nash

If LA keeps it foot on the neck of the league...then Kobe will run away with another MVP.

Kobe is easily the MVP at this point IMO...The Lakers squad looks straight out dominant. It seems like they cruise through games, turn it on for a littlestretch and come out with the W. I think they will walk through the West if thinks continue like this, but Boston or Orlando could give them a series.
I'm more then sure I knew Peja wasn't starting, which is why I said MY starting five would be.........but you must watch games with me from my house,so ok.

It's well-documented that Shaquille O'Neal has high standards for coaches. Typically, it takes one of iconic status such as Pat Riley or Phil Jackson to impress him.
O'Neal
James
That makes his praise of LeBron James that much more notable.
"His basketball IQ is phenomenal," O'Neal said of James. "He could coach in the NBA right now."
The 24-year-old James has impressed O'Neal with his thorough knowledge of the game -- his understanding of angles, of defensive principles, of how to set up teammates, of how opponents defend various plays and players, and of not only his own responsibilities on the court but those of all his teammates as well.
O'Neal hasn't talked about who's better between James and his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Kobe Bryant. But he has told confidantes that James has the advantage in basketball IQ, saying he's the smartest star he's played with in his 18-year career.
James was flattered by O'Neal's comments, but noncommittal on his coaching future.
"I've never thought about coaching before," James said. "I just know the game and have always been a student of the game."
Come on Shaq, he already is coaching in the NBA right now.

1. Lebron
2. Kobe
3. Dirk
4. Melo
5. Dwight

Shaq certainly goes to bat for his sidekicks.
Somehow I don't see this one being taken as gospel.

Alright, alright. Switch Lebron and Kobe.
It's just that Lebron literally does everything for that team. I never liked the idea of just giving it to whoever the best player on the best team is.Take Lebron off the Cavs and that squad is somewhere between mediocre and garbage. I don't see what more he could possibly do. Not to say Kobe doesn'tdeserve it, because obviously you can make a hell of an argument that he does. But Kobe has so much more talent around him whereas Lebron has to come out anddominate every single night. Again, I'm not saying anyone who thinks Kobe should win it is wrong, I think it just depends on your definition of mostvaluable.

Cleveland still doesn't have anyone that can guard Orlando's perimeter threats (besides LeBron but he'll be guarding JWill anyways
).
