NBA Daily Dose: MVP Showdown

Jason Kidd’s second stint with the Dallas Mavericks launched last night, but Chris Paul stole the show.
If Chris Paul was trying to make a statement, he couldn’t have done it in a more appropriate fashion, torching the Dallas Mavericks and defending NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki for a near triple-double Wednesday night. It was an impressive display, worthy of top billing in today’s Daily Dose.
Baron Davis played the hero for the Warriors; Shaquille O’Neal made his Suns’ debut, but Kobe Bryant stole his thunder; Chris Bosh was lights out; Vince Carter enjoyed a big night, but then got hurt; Peja Stojakovic is rolling right now; and Bobby Jackson enjoyed what was likely his last game in a Hornet uniform.
While John McCain tries to distance himself from Vicki Iseman, on the court developments are proving just as interesting, and we’ve got them all in today’s Dose.
