To the people that are saying Melo should get it:
If Carmelo was on the cavs in place of LeBron, do you think they would have had as good of a record? Hell no. Cleveland had no outside threat, possibly the worst bench in the league, no solid defender like nuggets have with miller, their only good players were 1 rookie and two sophomores, very little threat in the paint... denver was already a much much better team then cleveland minus the two rookies. Especially when cleveland started getting hurt by injuries. There is a reason that boozer and Z did better this season: Lebron MAKES them better. He can control the tempo on the court, Melo can't. Lebron can play more positions, had better stats, almost got a much worse team to the playoffs (missed by one game), and is an overall player.
Now, that still doesn't take away from what Melo did this year as well. There should be a CO-ROY imo. But if it had to go to one person, it should go to LeBron.
