"If rap was a game I'll be MVP, the most valuable poet on the M.I.C." Big L "MVP"

Doesn't matter if it is the rap game or the sports game debate over who is the true MVP will always cause controversy.

If you have been following me on Twitter you should know how hotly the NBA MVP topic has been debated (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline).

The reason being everyone's definition of Most Valuable Player is a little different. Of course the only person's opinion that should matter is mine. Why you ask? Because I am a BonaFide Sports Expert and I only speak the truth.

So without further ado here is my 2008-09 NBA MVP:

1- Lebron James 28.4 7.6 7.4 48.9%

The King is the only person in the league who I believe is capable of averaging a triple double, but 28 7 7 while shooting almost 50% from the field is pretty impressive.
Add on he has led his team to the best record in the league, has improved his defense tremendously & has developed not quite a "serial killer" a mentality, but at least an "assault with a deadly weapon" mentally it all adds up in my mind to what should be an unanimous selection for MVP.

Also I want to point out to the D Wade supporters who say that Lebron has the far superior team to the Heat. While I agree that the Cavs are better than the Heat, we aren't talking about the 86 Celtics here. You are talking about a team that gives quality minutes to Wally Szczerbiak for goodness sake. Lebron has taken a team filled with B- and C level players and led them to 65+ wins. Considering they will have more wins this year than the Celtics had last year with three hall of fame caliber players on their roster tells me all I need to know about The King. That is why he is my MVP.

2- Dwyane Wade 30.2 7.5 4.6 49.1

Here is all you need to know about D Wade:

Ask anyone about a deadbeat dad and you will get a mixture of responses. Some, tinged with the hurt, bitterness and resentment of a mother, daughter or son left forlorn and abandoned from a immature and heartless "man" concerned more about his own self-interests than raising his child while others share a story of an upstanding man attempting a life of shared custody only to be bombarded with accusations of being a deadbeat simply because he has no desire to be in a romantic relationship with his child's mother. Both scenarios are all too common and although the single parent household epidemic knows no color boundaries, it has hit no racial group harder than the Black family.

These days, the two parent household is a rarity. With a 50% divorce rate, there's a 1 in 2 chance that a romantic relationship ending in marriage will not eventually wind up in divorce court. Studies have concluded that children that are a by-product of a fatherless home often fare worse in life than those in a two parent home and are subject to greater bouts of depression, violent behavior, emotional stress and earlier experimentation with drugs, alcohol and sex due to poverty (Ketteringham: Associated Content 2007)

So when Litall text me about Chris Bosh, affectionately nicknamed CB4 Chris Bosh, face of the Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh, being sued by his former live-in girlfriend, 28 year old Allison Mathis, for child support, I was initially confused.

It is no breaking story that NBA poster child, Dwyane Wade has soon to be ex-wifey troubles and pending legal woes, in fact its late breaking news. Thanks to my job hunt and life's trials and tribulations dealing with personal and business relationships, this economy and other concerns, this model-writer has been swamped with strategizing and plotting the best course of action to not only improve her own life but ultimately the lives of those around her. After careful thought on whether to even post this and what angle I wanted to take, all I could come back to was what's stopping me from posting this and just how bitter Dwyane's estranged, ex-wife Siohvaughn Wade seems.

I first got wind of this story on websites Deadspin.com and BallHype.com last week. Allegedly, Mrs. Wade told the Miami Herald that Dwyane:

"...Abandoned his children, committed adultery, and infected her with an unspecified sexually transmitted disease. She wants the names of ''all of his sexual partners'' during their six-year marriage.

Dwyane, named a ''Father of the Year'' in 2007 by the National Father's Day Committee, has gone ''months'' without seeing his boys, Siohvaughn says. His ''failure to spend time with them . . . has resulted in the children at times being afraid of him; in fact, Zion . . . does not recognize or know Dwyane.'' She wants sole custody, and support.
She also says she has suffered ''grievous physical, emotional and mental injury'' from the STD, diagnosed in the fall of '07. (The infection is not HIV or a ''killer thing,'' sources say.) Dwyane and his ''paramour or paramours'' are liable," she claims.

Being a woman, of course if any of this is true I can empathize with her. I can only imagine being married to a mega-star athlete can be taxing on the mind and spirit with grueling playing schedules, opportunities for groupie love at every twist and turn at home and on the road and having to get creative with the time you spend together as well as communication in general however there are red flags here that scream "when a woman's pissed off" more so than "when a woman's fed up."

First, let me say this information is coming from the Chinese version of the National Inquiry so take it for what it is worth. Secondly, the best thing about Melo, DWade and The King getting some "Love Me Long Time" affection is that Kobe Bryant wasn't with them because, if he were, that would have been an international incident. See your BonaFide Sports Expert will travel continents to provide you with stories you just won't get anywhere else. Now I got this as a tip from a Chinese reader who obviously though I could read Chinese because the story is in Chinese. Thanks to the handy "Google Translator," I can bring it to you in English. If the USA doesn't bring home the Gold Medal, we can all blame the Chinese prostitutes.

The dance is called the "Wu-Tang" and if by the way if you don't know who the Wu Tang Clan is you should slap yourself in the face right now.

What happened to D Wade? From NBA Finals MVP to Star Jones? That is like my going from the Bona Fide Sports Expert to working for Chris Berman or something. Talk about downgrading. Is Wade on that "Roger Clemens"? Because his judgment seems to be impaired, he doesn't seem to be functionally correctly. Maybe it is all those T-Mobile with Charles Barkley that's maybe making him insane. Not to copyright infringe on Allen Iverson but....

"Star Jones? We talking about Star Jones? Not Gabrielle Union or your ex-wife. We talking about Star Jones? What are we talking about Star Jones?"

Wake up D Wade before you become Penny Hardaway.

Another year, another injury for D Wade. It makes one wonder if Wade didn't peak during the 2006 NBA Finals when there was a strong argument for his being the best player in the NBA. Better than Carmelo; better than Lebron; better than Kobe and so on and so forth.

This was a player who single handedly won an NBA final series (with some help from the refs) with his team down 0-2 and down 13 with 9 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. At the time I wondered out loud whether Wade, in the end, would be better than his counterpart Lebron James.

The assumption seems silly now, doesn't it? The Heat may have sacrificed Wade's entire career for that one NBA title. Was it worth it? Only Wade can say. But when you start having multiple surgeries on your knees and shoulders, the question begs: Will we ever see that 2006 D Wade again? I wouldn't bet money on it.
