NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Kevin Garnett has to be one of the best players in the NBA.
Kevin puts up 30 in defeating the Phoenix Suns and the crowd in Boston is chanting “M.V.P.” over and over again. Kevin, always modest, said Paul Pierce should be MVP. Uhh, right. Got you on that one.
“Honestly, I’m trying to block it out to make the free throws, which is kind of sad,” said Garnett of the chants. “But my MVP [Pierce] is sitting next to me.”
Pierce then tapped Garnett on the back of his head and said, “You’re my MVP, too.”
Pierce is averaging a team-high 20.1 points along with 5.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Garnett is averaging 19 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.
Ok, it turned into a sickening love fest for a while. There is no doubting the MVP value of Kevin Garnett or the close to MVP value of Paul Pierce, but they are not the clubhouse leaders, so to speak.
The leaders for MVP have to be Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
Detroit or Boston
Lucky Phoenix got to play Detroit and Boston on the road. So who is better?
“It’s a toss-up,” Phoenix guard Steve Nash said Wednesday night after the Boston Celtics beat the Suns 117-97, two days after they lost to the Detroit Pistons. “Both terrific teams; two of the favorites, that’s for sure.” source
Evidently Steve is running for politics or just does not want to tick off the wrong team, in case Phoenix actually made the finals and played Boston or Detroit.
