Cleveland may have King James, but New Orleans has Saint Paul. When you look at what these guys bring to the table, you cannot overlook the contributions made by the Saint.
Saint Paul gets my MVP vote this year. He truly is the most valuable player. Valuable in the sense of great use or service, as defined by Webster.com is the perfect description of what Saint Paul has been to the Hornet's francise. Let’s face it; the Hornets would not be anywhere near the top of the Western conference without him. In fact, I’m not sure they would even be in the playoff hunt. Did I hear someone say Playoff...playoffs (watch video in it's entirity)?
Paul is leading the league in assists. This is important to note because so many guys are starving to be the STAR. He’s also taken the rock from opponents more than anyone else this year.
The Saint resurrected the career of Tyson Chandler. And when you need him to get his game on, he’s ranked 15th in scoring. I’ve watched his highlights and on numerous occasions you will find him crossing defenders up, and dishing out some oval love.
If you say it’s King James or Kobe, then consider this fact: Based on the final regular season record from the 06-07 season and current team records as of today (3 Apr 08), the Cavaliers have a -8 games won differential, whereas the Lakers are a +9. The Saint and the Hornets are a paltry +13 games won differential from last year.
Hopefully I brought some truth in this madness I hear on ESPN as to who should be voted as the league’s MVP.
