Why T-Mac and Yao Ming will not be MVP?

When talking about the MVP of this season's ubiquitous talking Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett. .. but never naming two players who led Houston to fight for anything in the Western Conference: Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Rob Peterson, a reporter for NBA.com, explains.

With 16-9, Houston Rockets are a team that may have one or two candidates to win the MVP, but these players are unpredictable. For example, the other day Yao Ming had 32 points and 7 rebounds, while Tracy McGrady polyvalent scored 20 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and 10 assists (achieving the fourth triple-double of his career).

But Tracy McGrady has been hard hit by injuries. In his first year at Houston Rockets played 78 games, but since then he has managed to add 71 in a season. When Tracy McGrady is on track, is as good as anybody, but it is disappointing to see so often in costume.

Same with Yao Ming. When plugged in, nobody can stop you, but often falls from his injuries. In the past three seasons, Yao Ming has played 150 games for 246.

The reporter also asked about the possible inclusion of Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon in the top 10 candidates for MVP, but Rob Peterson declined to talk about it. "I am passionate about the Raptors, 10-14 but they have to record. We can talk about them when they are over 50% of victories "
