Most Valuable Player
|
|
Every year, the four major professional sports leagues give out Most Valuable Player awards for the player that a selected group of voters decides means the most to his respective team. This year, Peyton Manning won it in the NFL, LeBron James in the NBA, Dustin Pedroia and Albert Pujols in the MLB (AL and NL respectively), and Alex Ovechkin in the NHL. However, there is no MVP for American sports in general. Until now. The eight candidates are Pedroia, Pujols, Manning, Ovechkin, James, along with Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, and Ryan Howard, all three of whom have won MVPs in recent years, just not last year.. I’m going to make this interactive and have readers submit their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but I will also cast my votes.
3rd place: Albert Pujols
The man is a machine. He plays every game of every season pretty much, even when hurt. He does everything on the baseball field, hit, run, play defense, hit for average, draw walks. He also makes everyone better and he’s the stabilizing part in the Cardinals success over the past decade. He also has a knack for hitting in the clutch. He’s like that Tim Duncan kind of guy, a bit boring and small market, but he produces, wins, and makes everyone better.
2nd place: Tom Brady
He didn’t win an MVP this year because he was hurt, but I’d still rather have him over any other NFL player. He simply wins. He wins with bad receivers, mediocre receivers, excellent receivers. The Patriots have the best record of any American professional sports team since Brady’s arrival in 2002, and this is even if you include the season he was hurt and the team went a mere 11-5. In the playoffs, its like he goes to another level. He is in the playoffs every year it seems, but he only has 3 losses, as opposed to 14 wins.
1st place: LeBron James
He is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yes, they had help from Maurice Williams this year, but he is only Mo Williams. Plus, I bet the fact that Mo was playing with LeBron was the biggest reason why he was a first time all-star. LeBron pretty much single handedly carried the team to 66 wins this season, whether it was with scoring by himself, or making everyone else around him better.
Wrap up: Several things all valuable players have in common, they produce in the clutch, they win, and they make everyone else better.
Don’t forget to vote
