By the Numbers: Why D-Wade Is the MVP Hands Down

Move over LeBron and Kobe, Dwayne Wade is bringing home the hardware this year and the numbers speak for themselves.

There is the ever so popular points per game, which is in no means a true sign of ones value to the team, but Dwayne decided just to clear up the confusion. He would lead that at 28.4 a game.  (Note: tied with LeBron at 28.4, Kobe has 27.9.)

The next few stats are what makes him the MVP of the league, his all around play.

Assist per game 7.1 (also tied with LeBron for ninth in the league, Kobe a mere five per game, good enough for 29th.)

Blocks per game, 1.42 (Lebron sits at 1.25, and Kobe doesn't even average half a block per game .45).

Steals per game, 2.15 (LeBron has 1.83, and Kobe when he plays D has 1.3).

What really makes Wade the MVP thus far, is that fact that his team is two wins away from doubling their wins from last year. Going from being the laughing stock of the NBA, to having a top 10 record and being playoff bound.

If it keeps up it would be a shame if he is not given that honor.
