Midseason Awards: Nobody Has Been Better Than Carmelo Anthony

By Dime Magazine

The 2009-10 season is just about at it's midway point. These two-and-a-half months have been filled with a whole lot of surprises. Who would have thought Gilbert Arenas would be suspended for the season or Blake Griffin and Greg Oden would suffer season-ending injuries? And who would have thought Allen Iverson would be back in Philly or the Nets would be so bad (Okay, well that one wasn’t so far fetched).

There have also been a lot of positive surprises. A lot of unexpected players have stepped up and made a huge splash so far this season. While a lot can happen between now and mid-April, here are our midseason awards.

MVP: Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets) – It is funny to think that Anthony didn’t even make the All-Star team last year, yet he is probably the leading candidate for the MVP award so far in the season. His stats have been ridiculous: 29.8 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 3.3 apg. But more importantly, he has kept the Nuggets near the top of the Western Conference standings. They’ve slipped a little in the past weeks and ‘Melo has been nursing a knee injury, but Denver has been 2-0 since he returned.

    Thanks DIME appreciate it and agree, no telling what the next 3 months will bring!

    The Nuggets have to keep up the pace with the Cavs and the Lakers or better yet blow past them in their wins. There's no doubt the league is going to look at a number of things to decide on the MVP and one of them is a winning team. Melo is MMMVVVPPP and hopefully he will get it he is deserving! The Nuggets have to keep up their wins on the road and of course at home (their record is awesome at home!) and so far they're unstoppable. They've improved in the last 3 away games, they have won 11 out of the last 13 games and they're on an 8 game winning streak! Lebron and Kobe have had their time, it's Melo time baby! MMMMVVVVPPPPPP, Most Valueable Player!!!

    I love Melo but we all know the sports writers have an infatuation with LeBron & Kobe. So the only hope us Melo fans have of seeing our boy get MVP is if the Nuggets have a better record than the Lakers. (remember what happened to CP3 a couple of years ago.. Kobe beat him out for MVP because the Lakers won the west by a game or something like that... so lets hope the Nuggets keep pace with the Lakers)
