DAN PATRICK, FROM ESPN's OPINION

And the winner is ...
By Dan Patrick
A pretty eventful NBA season, dominated by stories of the Western Conference's superiority and the return of Michael Jordan, is drawing to a close. I have filled out my awards ballot and it looks like this:
McGrady
MVP
Tracy McGrady, Orlando Magic
Hardest decision I've had in this category in the 10 years I've had a vote. For the better part of the season, I had this going to Nets point guard Jason Kidd. I still appreciate what Kidd has done in making a good team better, but the talent cupboard is not bare in New Jersey. In Orlando, McGrady often took the floor with Don Reid, Monty Williams, Darrell Armstrong and Pat Garrity. McGrady is also a two-way player who's electrifying offensively and guards the opposing team's best player (unless he's a center). In terms of value to his team, Tracy McGrady is the MVP. He has carried the Magic without Grant Hill and last year's impressive rookie, Mike Miller, both of whom were obviously big parts of Orlando's plans.
"Don Reid, Monty Williams, Darrell Armstrong and Pat Garrity" That sickens me

Kidd=Van Horn, Martin, Kittles, Jefferson, Macallough (lots of help)
Duncan=Robinson, Steve Smith, Parker (not too much help)
McGrady=Don Reid, Monty Williams, Darrel Armstrong, Mike Miller (so/so), pat garrity, Andrew Declerq(no help)
It's hard to say who was the true MVP, but I would definately say it was Duncan or McGrady.......Nets had a good year, but they put it all together considering the year before (Jefferson(college), Van Horn(injured 1st half of season), Martin(injured 2nd half of season), Kittles(basically came out of retirement), macullough(sixers)...They obviously improved, not just Kidd (although he is a fine PG)

iverson avg 31ppg 5 assists 3-4 rebs so is he better than both kobe and tmac? Iverson does more for his team any player period.
