SUPERMAN for MVP

Dwight has been a monster on both sides of the ball for Orlando this year.


THE HOWARD CASE:

23 ppg, 15 rpg, 2.5 bpg...BEAST!

Howard is having arguably his best season as a pro and seems to be getting better and better as his offense continues to improve. Shooting just over 60% from the field Superman is starting to score in bunches. Another thing that has been huge for the big man is his improved free throw shooting. In his past two games he went 21 for 25 from the free throw line, scoring 28 and 32 in those games. His offense is starting to get scary good putting in 30+ points on 15 different occasions along with three 40 point outbursts. His rebounding has also been unbelievable pulling down 20+ boards in 9 games this season. Final thought: Howard had 31 21 night last wednesday against 7' Andrew Bogut...just sayin.

Dwight has always been known for his defense and the intimidation factor he has in the paint every night. This year is no different as he averages 2 and half blocks a game to go along with 1 and a half steals. Theres no other player in the NBA that affects as many possessions as Howard does.

MVP stands for Most Valuable Player, and thats what Dwight is for his team. Looking at the Metric stats for Howard you can see what I mean. His PER or Player Efficiency Rating is 26.42 good enough for second just behind King James and his 26.81. His VA or Value Added is also good enough for second and finally the most important stat is EWA or estimated wins added which is 20.4. Where does Derek Rose rank in these categories? PER-11th VA-8th EWA-8th

Even though the media has basically crowned Rose the MVP my vote would still go to Superman because without him the Magic dont make the playoffs.
