Everyone knows where I stand on the matter. Dirk is still learning. I see the MVP being not only the player who steps up on the court, but also the locker room leader. One who leads by example, words, and inspirational play on the court. Someone who takes care of his business, doesn't bitch about the officiating, just a basketball player in general who takes his team to a whole new level.
Dirk has the ability to take his team to a whole new level, but until he can learn the locker room leadership aspect to it, he won't be an MVP. I see the players who wear the badge of captain as being the MVP.
Finley is the MVP. Nowitzki is learning the role. Dirk has a hell of a teacher, don't you think?
