The MVP candidates are the top five players in the league and they each receive votes from a panel of sportswriters, coaches, and analysts.
This year they included:
Kevin Durant
Dwayne Wade
In the 2010-2011 NBA season Dwight Howard, the Magic's Center will win the MVP award. Lebron when he moved to Miami should have known he wasn't going to get it. Kobe is having another great season but LA is stacked will good players. So in the end Dwight Howard better get the MVP award.
Considering that their are only 4 given out for the entire season (Rookie Challenge MVP, All-Star Game MVP, NBA MVP [for the season], and the NBA Finals MVP), the most prestigious would easily be the NBA MVP award.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 6 NBA MVP awards
No, he never won NBA MVP.
LBJ-2011-12 NBA Season
Kobe Bryant won the MVP award in the 2007-08 NBA season
Kevin Garnett was the 2004 NBA MVP.
