The NBA Most Valuable Player award is often awarded to the player who puts up the most outstanding offensive stats on a very good team. There are times, when of course, the MVP award is given to the best player in the game at that time(Kobe Bryant last season), and there are times when it is truly given to the most "valuable" player of a particular roster(Steve Nash). But when you think about the current state of the NBA, you would be grasping at straws to tell me the difference between the amazing offensive numbers Dwayne Wade and Lebron James are putting up. Then you have Chris Paul, who is leading the NBA in assists and steals. Of course, Kobe is keeping the Laker machine rolling. But nowhere to be found in the discussion is the heart and soul of the best team in the league, Kevin Garnett.
KG won the NBA MVP award as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2003-04 season, in which he led the Timberwolves to a 58-24 record, was first team All-NBA, and led the league in rebounding with nearly 14 a game. This year may be just as impressive, but for different reasons.
