Weiland's NBA MVP possibilities

Norway’s Ed Weiland, a columnist for HoopsAnalyst.com, lists Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as the top three prospects for NBA most valuable player.

“In grading the MVP candidates for 2013, I look first for players who are the best of the best,” Weiland wrote.

“I’m talking about the elite, the superstars, etc. Next I look at team situations. If a team doesn’t win the top seed or at last exceed expectations, none of the players on that team are likely to win the MVP.”
