you guys surprised howard got 3 million votes?

[gtc08]

more than lebron, lebron got like 2.7

 

[gabbana]

not at all..by far one of the best centers in the league..

 

[yanni_gogolak]

he would be the MVP this year if lebron already had one. lebron was a better candidate last year, but kobe didnt have one. personally i still feel lebron was the mvp to his team, but thats over and done with.

 

[Greenbacks]

I dont thinks its a problem

Howard is a center 3,150,181

James is the top forward vote getter 2,940,823

He did`nt beat him by much anyways

Howard got some great numbers....19.9 ppg.....14 boards.....3 blocks
And his team is 33-9

Yeah but alot of fans don't vote based on merit as we've seen pretty much every year. Does Howard deserve it? Yeah. Am I surprised he got more votes than LeBron and other players who seem to be bigger celebrities than he is? Absolutely. I guess his performance at the dunk contest last year really made an impact on a lot of casual fans.

howard has probably eclipsed KG as my favorite player. i'm just surprised he got more votes than lebron. i think they said howard is the first ever to get that many votes.

i agree, think the mvp is starting to be too much of a controversial award and really losing its value

im surprised yao didnt get the most votes, with all the people in china i thought he would be at the top again

 

[shaprie123]

HAHA... maybe they forgot about Yao this year.. lol...

 

[gtc08]

no. the chinese dont go that crazy over there people in the states. they probably know as much or more about the game than we do. huge huge following in china. lot of the time they can only get 1 nba game a week there and it gets what football gets here.
