Shaq has been the force that has kept the Suns afloat this season, putting up some of the best numbers in his career. He is shooting a higher free throw percentage (.629) than field goal percentage (.602) ans has seemed to have found the fountain of youth in the Valley of the Sun. With injuries throughout the season to Steve Nash, Grant Hill, and Amare Stoudamire; Shaq has been the most consistent and most dominate of any of the Suns and maybe even the NBA.
So I raise the question is Shaq the MVP of the League?
Think about it..he averages 17.8 pts, 9.0 rpg and has only missed 2 games all year. To make it worse he has the bounce back in his step, no longer just overpowering opponents with dunks; but using jump hooks and the infamous left hand stare. Lol. Once you factor in the fact that Shaq only averages 11.2 shots per game and he plays in the new happy offense the Suns have resurrected then he is one of the most productive players in the league. In his last two games he has poured in totals of 45 pts and 33 pts both in big wins without Amare and Nash. Lebron and Kobe may be the favorites but the Suns would not even be in contention without the Big Diesel. This is probably why the Shaq and Lebron talk never turned into action at the trade deadline. (By the way the Cavs would have won it all if that had happened..sorry Boston.) If the Suns can squeak into the playoffs with a healthy roster then "Shaqctus" will be among the few at the top of the MVP race.

ReplyDeleteShaq is still better than Dwight Howard at this stage in his career. Superman 2.0 has to get some go to moves before he can take over the crown from Shaq.
