There are only three players in the NBA this season that are in the running for the MVP this season: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade

Although you could put up a good argument for any of these players, there is only one name that seems to out shine the rest: Dwyane Wade

Only about a year ago people started to believe that Dwyane Wade's career as one of the best guards in the NBA was over. He was still going to be able to play every season, but injuries would limit his progression as one of the league's best players much like it has to Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill throughout their careers.

This seemed so certain that no one even questioned it, but after being by far the best player on the Redeem Team last summer and turning the Miami Heat back into a force in the East while leading the NBA in scoring, Wade is officially reborn.

Early in the season LeBron James seemed to be the hands down decision for NBA MVP, but with the way Wade has played over the last month he has turned into the favorite to win the award this season.
