Kidd is the NBA MVP

Now that the NBA regular season is in the books, ESPN.com fans have spoken and the results are in for this season's 2002 NBA postseason Fan Favorites.

What are Fan Favorites? We offered users a chance to tell us who they feel should take home the hardware for the NBA regular season. Users voted for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and the best player at guard, forward and center.

Our first poll was for league MVP. The Answer, Allen Iverson, took home the award last season after once again leading the league in scoring. But this season, injuries limited his action and New Jersey point guard Jason Kidd took advantage.

Check out each candidates statistics, what we had to say about each player and the results from the ESPN.com poll.
