He was ranked 27th in rebounds, 8th in steals, and 23rd in blocks. D-Wade has better better steals and blocks rankings, but way worse in rebounds. D-Wade should run away with the MVP. There's only one reason I can come up with. I think they gave Dwight Howard the defense award because he got absolutely robbed in the slam dunk contest. Throwing the guy a bone?
