I am glad you came to your senses and realized how incredibly dominant Chris Paul has become. Like you said, he is having one of the greatest seasons of all time, and his team is fighting for the #1 spot in the WEST. Not the Leastern Conference, the WEST. He is the leader of a young team that is playing out of their minds and for that I think he deserves the MVP.
But I think you might have accidentally left a couple players out, it's okay, everyone's human, but I'll just remind you of a couple others who should get some MVP buzz.
How bout the man holding the Magic together? Yep, none other than Hedo Turkoglu! He is having his best season of all time (is it a contract year, by the way? I'll have to look into that), including triple-doubles, game winners, an awesome nose, and the most clutch player on a team that potentially could make some noise in the East playoffs. Which I guess isn't saying much because the Kansas Jayhawks could make some noise in the East.
Take a look at his numbers though: 20 pts, 6 boards, 5 assists a game. What?! Hedo?! HeWHO?! Obviously he isn't going to win the award considering all the bias out there about about Euro's, if the NBA only gave Euro's a fare chance... But he should be recognized for having a great year, and dare I say, being the best player on a team that should win 50 games.
And then there's Kevin McHale. Boston should give him the MVP, maybe not the official one, but at least a plaque of recognition for all his efforts towards making the Celtics relevant again. If not for McHale and his bumbling GM abilities, the Celtics would just be another Eastern Conference 40 game winner. But the way McHale so gallantly handed the C's Garnett, which in turn made them a ring-hunter free agents winter destination: Posey, House, Cassell, they should build a statue outside the arena with him signing the papers that sent Garnett on his way. It's the least they can do. He's done so much.
Hedo for MVP!!!!

Jemele Hill somewhat agrees, and she's a favorite of Jim Rome, so you know she must be right. Ya:
