Ric Bucher Knows What He’s Talking About

Here is what NBA analyst for ESPN Ric Bucher has to say about the MVP race:

“So who are the five names on my ballot? As of right now? Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett. In that order.”

Thank you for being a sports writer who actually writes some good stuff. And who supports Kobe Bryant in this year’s MVP race. Here are some cool “MVP” acronyms he put together.

  1. MEP (Most Excellent Player): Kobe Bryant
  2. MEPFESFNHWB (Most Excellent Player Finally Earning Sympathy For Never Having Won Before): Bryant, Lakers
  3. MVPOATWTBRITWC (Most Valuable Player On A Team With The Best Record In The Western Conference): Chris Paul, Hornets.
  4. MNGPASLYFHFP (Most Naturally Gifted Player Amazingly Still Light Years From His Full Potential): LeBron James, Cavaliers
  5. MHPAOTTWTBR (Most High-Profile Acquisition On The Team With The Best Record): Kevin Garnett, Celtics
  6. MVPOTTWTBR (Most Valuable Player On The Team With The Best Record): Pierce, Celtics
  7. MSIPOATWTMVPS (Most Statistically Impressive Player On A Team With Two Most Valuable Players): Amare Stoudemire, Suns
  8. MVPVNJCI (Most Valuable Player Voters Now Just Completely Ignore): Tim Duncan, Spurs.
  9. MIPITWMTAGOV (Most Indispensable Player If There Were More Tattooed and Gun Owning Voters): Stephen Jackson, Warriors.
Now that’s some good stuff Ric. Those top two reasons are why Kobe Bryant better win this year’s MVP. All you Kevin Garnett bandwagon lovers need to read number 6. Paul Piece the most valuable player on the team with the best record. If that’s Paul Pierce, then why are we talking about KG as a winner for the MVP award? Ridiculous. Give it to Kobe people!
