Let me begin with two aspects of the NBA that I believe should be changed. First, consideration for the NBA MVP should include the playoffs. It only makes sense. Second has less to do with the NBA than with grammar. One would say, "The Knicks are ready for tonight's game." However, people argue that "The Heat is ready for tonight's game." is correct. "Heat" is no more singular than "Knicks." You wouldn't say the "4 fish is looking like your momma" or "the children is hot, because you're a child molester." So let's change that to "the Heat ARE a bunch of cheaters."
The foul called against Kristic of the Nets with .9 seconds left was ridiculous. Yes, he got a hold of Pacer guard, Anthony Johnson's jersey, but it clearly didn't impact Johnson's shot. The refs should've let that one go.
Kobe Bryant was hit in the face on his way to the basket towards the end of the Lakers-Suns contest. But he had already traveled before the foul took place. The Lakers were down two possessions at the time anyway, though my first reason is a much better one than the second.
Since I include the playoffs in my MVP voting, here is the tenuous current MVP race:
1) Phx G Steve Nash
2) Cle F Lebron James
3) LAL G Kobe Bryant
4) Dal F Dirk Nowitski
5) Det G Chauncey Billups
