The Bulls have had a magical season so far and have been led by the three headed monster of Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, and Manu Ginobili who are all candidates for MVP but who is the most valuable Bull? Let's a take a closer look into each candidate.
Elton Brand
29PPG 12RPG 3APG 4BPG 1TOPG .508 FG% .821FT%
Elton Brand is a force down in the low post on both the offensive and defensive ends. His 29ppg is good for 2nd in the league only behind Kobe Bryant. He is 6th in the league in rebounding and 2nd in the league in blocked shots. He has won POW award 4 out of 13 times so far this season and no other player has won the award twice. Elton was also the POM 1 out of 3 times the award was handed out.
Dirk Nowitzki
29PPG 9PPG 4APG 1.5SPG 2BPG 1.5TOPG .473 FG% .797 FT% .408 3PT%
Dirk is playing PF for the first time in his career and it doesn't seem to phase him as he's putting up stellar numbers. His blocked shots are at an all time career high at 1.7 per game. He is 3rd in scoring only behind his own team mate Elton Brand and Kobe Bryant. He is the 2nd leading passer out of the PF spot only behind Kevin Garnett. He is also on pace to set a career high in FT attempts this season while shooting a career high in %.
Manu Ginobili
16PPG 6RPG 11APG 3SPG 2TOPG .496 FG% .891 FT% .459 3PT%
Manu is playing his first full season at the point guard position and is thriving in the switch of positions. Manu has shown superior rebounding skills against opposing point guards which is key in the Bulls which isn't a strong point of the team. His field goal percentage is the second highest out of any guard in BBS with at least 30mpg only behind rookie PG Jameer Nelson. He is 2nd in the league in APG only behind division rival guard Jason Kidd by a mere .3apg.
The choice is yours, who is the Most Valuable Bull (MVB).
