2011 NBA Awards: Dwight Howard Is the True MVP of the Season

The MVP race has been tight all year. Chris Paul started the season as a contender, then it was Amare Stoudemire, and then Lebron joined the party, but everyone seems to agree—Derrick Rose is the unanimous MVP.

Rose has a great case for MVP. He kept the Bulls near the top of the Eastern Conference, even with injuries to key players like Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah. He has outrageous numbers, too. He is the best player on the best team (sorry, San Antonio). So why isn't he the MVP?

Because Dwight Howard is the true MVP.

I agree that Rose is going to win the MVP, because he is the "new guy." The new guy always wins, because the media always falls in love with the underdog or the guy who came out of nowhere. Although he didn't win it, Chris Paul belongs to that group. So does Steve Nash and even Dirk Nowitzski.

However, Howard is the most deserving canidate of the MVP. He is keeping a horrendous Magic team at the top of the East. If you take him away from the team they have above good players, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson. Other than that, the Magic simply have a bunch of role players.
