Who's the MVP?

Anyone else want to argue that Dirk shouldn't have been MVP this year? I didn't think so. The Diggler was Jordan/Magic/Bird-esque last night. He refused to let his team lose. But Dirk's been doing it all postseason.
vs Suns
Game 5: 50 pts, 12 rebs, 22 points in the 4th (15 straight)
Game 2 (trailing 0-1): 30 pts, 14 rebs, 6 assists, 14 points in the 4th
vs Spurs
Game 7: 37 pts, 15 rebs, 15-16 FTs, game winning 3 point play trailing by 3 with :12
Game 4: 28 pts 10 rebs, 14-15 FTs
vs Grizzlies
Game 3: 36 pts (of team's 92), 10 rebs
Averaging 27.3 pts and 9.7 rebs in the playoffs.
Two other notes: Josh Howard is another example of a Wake player who had a great college career but disappeared in March, only to have a great NBA career. See Duncan, Tim; Rogers, Rodney; Paul, Chris. Childress gets a pass based on the 1995 ACC tournament.
The NBA is running some pretty cool NBA Finals commercials with video of all the past championship teams/players before games. You know, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Russell, Doc, Duncan. One player that was missing: Vince Carter. Weird.
