Michael Jordan campaigning for Dwyane Wade to win MVP in 2009 over Kobe and LeBron:
โI think Dwyane is a phenomenon. If heโs not talked in terms of MVP then theyโre not really giving him a fair assessment. No matter what you can say about his team, but if you take him away from his team Iโm pretty sure theyโd not be as successful. If you take away LeBron and take away Kobe, Iโm pretty sure those teams would still be competitive. Not to speak down on his teammates, just to say how much he represents offensively and defensively on that teamโฆ This kid each and every day if he not playing they donโt have a chance to win and when he does they can beat anybody on the basketball courtโ
D Wade had a real case for MVP this year.
Dwyane Wade was robbed of the 2009 MVP:
โข led NBA in scoring (30.2)
โข finished 3rd in DPOY voting
โข carried Heat to the 5th seed
โข no all-star teammate
