Off the bat here are my initial thoughts:
1. Great to see Aldridge & Randolph get some acknowledgment, especially after they both got snubbed from the All-Star game.
2. Kobe took Wade's spot again, and the discrepancy in votes shows that the voters are just giving Kobe the career achievement award. The Heat won more games than the Lakers and Wade posted better numbers in every major statistical category (except for 3PT% and FT%).
3. I personally would've probably chosen Nowitzki above Durant, but that's a toss-up really.

This quote sums it up
And it doesn't even mention that Wade averaged more steals and blocks as well. Unbelievable. Of all the very top superstars in the league, Wade has been the most under appreciated his whole career. Heat didn't even go on those streaks till Wade started taking over in the 4th. This is a joke.

This quote sums it up
Wade averaged more points, rebounds and assists than the Black Mamba and shot significantly better from the field. And Wade crushed Bryant in head-to-head competition.
And it doesn't even mention that Wade averaged more steals and blocks as well. Unbelievable. Of all the very top superstars in the league, Wade has been the most under appreciated his whole career. Heat didn't even go on those streaks till Wade started taking over in the 4th. This is a joke.
