The only other player on that team that could was the backup Point Guard CJ Watson, who played 13 minutes a game.
Meanwhile LeBron was on a team with a healthy prime Wade and Bosh. LeBron at 26, led the Heat to 58 wins in his first season with Miami. LeBron had a very good season, his stats were amazing and he was extremely dominant while he was just entering his prime. Bosh that year averaged almost 19 points per game that season, while being spaced out for most of the time as their third option, who could probably have had a better season using him correctly.
Wade averaged about the same stats Rose did so you could see how much help LeBron had with him in that season. Fast-forward to the Finals. These are the same people who criticize Rose for having to carry a starting line-up with Kurt Thomas and Keith Bogans to a sixty win season. The Heat dominated the Bulls when they exposed Rose for being the only player that could create his own shot. Miami was the greater team by far and everyone knew it before the season started.
There is more into a season than advanced stats and comparing them. I think Rose deserved the MVP by a landslide. You are commenting using your WordPress.

For an inefficient scorer who lacks any semblance of a jump shot, Andre Iguodala certainly gets a lot of pub among fans. Labeled as the consolation prize to the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes, GMs should beware of what they are getting if they acquire Iguodala.
Usually when a fairly talented player moves from city to city nearly every season, there is an underlying problem that the average fan does not hear about. Joe Smith, Drew Gooden and now Trevor Ariza are perhaps the greatest examples of this, as each had a fault that made them almost incapable of sticking with a team for the long run. After moving from Orlando to Los Angeles and helping Los Angeles to an NBA championship, Ariza set out for Houston on a free-agent deal so that he could carve a place for himself in the record books outside of Kobe Bryant's shadow.
After a disastrous year in Houston, Ariza continues to struggle in New Orleans, and is shooting below 40 percent for the second year in a row. Largely considered to be the ideal role player for his ability to knock down open jump shots, score in transition and defend, Ariza fails to fully take advantage of his talents because he has a star's mentality.
His propensity to shoot horrible contested shots has left him with by far the lowest shooting percentage in the league among qualifying players after placing second in that statistic a year ago. Defensively, despite his reputation as a stopper, his greed once again gets the best of him at times.
While he is a terrific ball hawk who gets his hands on tons of balls, he gambles far too often and loses focus at times. While he could be as good as anyone in the league, his inability to focus and just play smart defense keeps him from doing so.
A selfish player with a horrible mentality, Ariza is still regarded as a solid small forward because of his championship run with Los Angeles. One has to wonder how many more seasons he has to shoot in the 30's before people start to realize that he is not. A double-double machine, David Lee is generally well-respected as one of the league's top rebounders and pick-and-roll players.
After going to Golden State in a sign-and-trade deal this offseason, Lee was expected to flourish in the Warriors' system. Early on in the year, things have not gone exactly as planned.
Fighting an elbow injury and later an infection, David Lee has been effectively reduced to a one-arm player after showcasing some of the best ambidextrous skills over the past few years. However, this year is not why he is overrated. While undoubtedly a talented rebounder, his statistics over the past few years have been inflated by playing in an up-tempo system with inefficient scorers around him. With so many more shots available per game for rebounds, his huge rebound stats piled up quickly.
However, upon a closer look, his impressive rebounding looks more ordinary.
