Overall Analysis

Any fan could make an outstanding argument for either of these phenomenal players to win the MVP award this season.

Dwyane Wade has single-handedly brought his team from having the worst record in the NBA last season (15-67), to becoming the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference this season (42-38). He literally carried the Heat on his shoulders for the entire season and has proven consistently healthy throughout the entire year. Wade also leads the league in scoring this season with a career-high 30.20 PPG.

On the other hand, LeBron James has proven to be the most dominate player in the game today. He has taken his game to a completely new level and has turned his team into a Championship caliber type of team this season.

The Cavaliers have the best overall record (66-15) and home record (39-1) in the entire NBA. They have made Cavs history and have an outstanding shot at making it to the Finals this season

If the MVP trophy was awarded to the Most Valuable Player to their team, then Dwyane Wade would win.

Since the MVP trophy is awarded to the Most Valuable Player in the entire NBA, LeBron James will be crowned the winner.
