Stephen Jackson named "West MVP of the First Trimester"

Captain Jack getting some recognition over Nash, Bryant, and Chris Paul

Jackson is averaging a career-best 21.6 points per game and gets our nomination here over Roy for his unparalleled impact on the Warriors' potential and swagger, judging by Golden State's 1-6 record while he was suspended to start the season and its 18-8 record -- 11-6 on the road -- since Jack's return.

I'd like to see more of this from him.

I heart Marc Stein

Honestly

I'd give it to Baron Davis.

Yeah we did well when SJax was here, and we did bad when SJax was out.

But imagine this team without Baron Davis. We'd be utterly hopeless.

just look at what happened to us during the orlando game when baron fouled out before overtime.

We all love Jack but that's a serious reach

But hey, 2008 is the Year of the Baseless Claim: http://myspace.com/groping

Seriously, he's a volume shooter who plays a Jekyll and Hyde offensive game and not only is he not even an All-Star, he's not even the most valuable player on his team (which is a fringe playoff team).

Hopefully Baron doesn't start getting pissed at all the Jackson overrating. Seriously, has anyone ever gone from underrated to overrated this fast?

you have to remember

that these writers have financial incentive to create discussion through their columns, so they're bound to put some crazy picks in there. Stein even said there's no way that Jax wins the MVP for the whole year so he just wanted to give it to him for the First Trimester.

I don't think Jax is even close to being overrated. I'll believe that when he starts getting praised on sportscenter every night, not the espn.com nba section.
