Melo trailed Durant by over a point per game but a 50, 40, and 41 point binge in three games allowed him to take the top spot. Then after both sat out the regular season finale for both teams, Carmelo Anthony was awarded the title.
Durant had won it the previous 3 years, so I'm not sure he was even really worried about it but this was a first for Carmelo. He's a player that doesn't one attribute of basketball very well and it was about time he received some recognition for it. He won the award while averaging 28.7 points a game. Congrats, Melo.
