    Does ESPN now vote for the NBA MVP? I must have missed the memo.

    You incorrectly declared MVP voters do not even know there is another team in LA.  MVP voters are very aware of Blake and he is one of the biggest young stars in the league. Of course he is a huge underdog to win it. But show me a different bet at 200-1 that is more likely.

    As far as you missing the memo we just did not bother sending it to you.

    No, I am pretty sure I am correct that MVP voters only know of the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Clippers are and always will be the little step brother to the Lakers in the city there. If someone in LA wins it, it will most surely be Kobe Bryant.

    David Duval 200-1 to win the Bob Hope Classic, the tournament he shot '59' in the final round to win it. He generally plays well there, even with his recent struggles. No way do I expect him to win, but much better chance than Blake because Blake has 0% chance playing on the Clippers.

    Ok, name one MVP voter who has never heard of the LA Clippers.

    Not sure where you are getting +20000..I see +2000...It really doesnt matter though because there is no way he wins MVP playing on a Clippers team that probably wont make the playoffs!!! I do agree that he is a great young player and I think that eventually the Clippers will be a +.500 team!!! If you do decide to take that bet GL to you!!!

    Unlikely to happen?  Yes.  But ZERO chance dude?  C'mon, you look really ignorant right now.

    If they allowed players who got had great stats that played for losing teams to win MVP... Zach Randolph might have a few extra trophies

    Zero chance is something that should never be said in respect to gambling.  If I popped in here when the clippers were 1-13 and said they would go 14-12 the next 26 what do you think people would have said??

    ZERO CHANCE.   They would have been wrong, thats why its sports, that why its gambling, and thats why we love it.

    Zach has shot over 48% one time in his career and that year (2002) he averaged 8 points . What great stats are we referring to that are comparable to Blakes ROOKIE season?

    Zach Randolph can't even come close to being an all-star let alone an MVP.

    Yes, 0% chance. David Duval isn't Tiger Woods, but he shot in the mid 60's several times last year, and doesn't have to beat the voters, just the golf course. 200-1 is more likely with Duval than Griffin. He truly is 0% and that is not up for question.

    Blake Griffin has a better shot than most are giving him...simply because of the year we are in. 

    LeBron James?  Doesn't really have a shot because of the team he is on...won't be able to put up the insane stats we are used to seeing out of him.  His only chance was if the Heat won 70 games...which is out.  Or put up a triple double average...which is out.

    Kobe Bryant?  Team isn't doing as well as they probably could be doing.  And ALL of his stats are down from last year.  He has an awesome November...but since then he has fallen back a bit.  Plus, how many players have won the MVP award after being in the league 13+ seasons?

    Kevin Durant?  I would say Durant is the statistical choice for MVP right now...but what if the Thunder fall back a little bit after the All-Star break and just barely make it into the playoffs?  Durant won't be as prominent at that time.  Also, I think Westbrook has stepped up more this season and taken a little bit away from KD.

    Amar'e Stoudemire?  The points are certainly there...and there was some strong buzz towards Amare during the Knicks winning streak...but they have since gone 6-9 in their last 15 games and are more than likely locked into the 6th position in the East...meaning a road playoff series against Miami, Boston, or Orlando.  He has revitalized the city without a doubt...but unless he goes nuts in the 2nd half of the year...it's not happening.

    Now let's just say Blake Griffin continues to dominate...and the Clippers give him the ball on just about every possession.  Let's say he goes on a scoring binge and gets his PPG up to about 25.  He rebounds per game are probably going to end up at about 13 or so.  If he can do that...and bring the Clippers at least close to a playoff berth...I'd say he has a very outside shot at taking it. 

    Remember how much the voters dislike LeBron now...that could play a huge role.  However, I still believe it's either Durant or Bryant

    The Voters LOVE Kevin Durant, wouldn't be surprised to see him get it even if his team doesn't play that well. Kevin Durant is twice the player Blake Griffin is right now.

     Ok, you say 200-1 odds comparing Duval to Griffen.  Last time i checked 200-1 odds equals long shot chance NOT zero chance.  Thanks for proving my point that you are an ignorant individual.

    Charles Barkley is 1000-1 every year to win the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe.. but he can't even break 100 on the course.

    According to your retarded logic, Barkley isn't 0%, rather a 1000-1 longshot? God you are epically stupid.

    While the Clippers are exciting now.

    1-13 start and 14-12 since...7 games back half way almost.

    They need no worse than 26-16 to get to .500, and will not make it at .500?
