Back in 2008, the then Power technical director Peter Mubanda, argued for Afidra to awarded MVP instead of Komakech, but sounded crazy. Afidra might not have been a wise choice four years ago.

He has made his own case and not even Mubanda, now in Zimbabwe, can defend him more than he did. He still has Komakech to beat as the point guard finished with 121 points, the highest tally for anyone and Enabu, who brings crowds in plenty and changed the way Warriors play. The latter’s case is lessened by not winning the Holy Grail even though he has a compelling case too. Afidra edges it.
