No one can be as stupid as I was when I decided that his 1 block per game and almost no assist per game was enough reason to leave him off this list. Well, I got a shot of "profanely-filled" reality check from a good friend that called me after reading the blog.
THANK YOU Albs! Your carefully structured verbal lecture made me see my mistake. For that, I say thanks bud!!!
The player I left off is CHRIS BOSH. I did mention him at the beginning of the entry but left him off the final run of MVP candidates. How could I have left him off because of a low number of blocks per game and then include Dwight Howard and his horrendous below .500 ft percentage. Even the original Superman (Shaq) is shooting at a better clip that Howard.
Forgive me CB4. Please forgive the omission of a misguided soul such as myself. You are currently shooting 54 percent from the field, even though most of your shots are jump shots. Your 82 percent from the charity strip should not have been ignored since Howard would give you his NASA designed physique just to be able to shoot at that clip for a game.
I should be even more ashamed for ignoring the fact that you are currently in the top five for MVP talks at this point by many league experts. I saw you single-handedly carry us to victory against the Charlotte Bobcats last night; and yet I acted "ignant" by leaving you off the list.
Chris Bosh numbers thus far: 27ppg, 11rpg, 3apg and 1bpg
Those numbers are definitely MVP worthy. Here is my revised list of the candidates after the six games; in no particular order:
Chris Paul
Chris Bosh
Dwayne Wade
Lebron James
Dwight Howard
Looking forward to one of these guys and a few others to separate themselves from the pack.
Sportacularly yours,
The Vicarious Athlete
