MVP: Split Opinion

It's a tough call, but I think you all know how I'm leaning... but here's what the "experts" have to say:

NANCY LIEBERMAN, ESPN Analyst:
Sheryl Swoopes, Houston
She might be at the tail end of her career, but Swoopes definitely has not lost a step over the years. She has been very consistent this season, coming up big in so many big games. The Comets wouldn't be in the playoff hunt without her, especially since Tina Thompson missed half the season.

MECHELLE VOEPEL, Columnist:
Lauren Jackson, Seattle
It's a tough year to pick just one person as MVP, but Jackson is that one -- by an eyelash over Houston's Sheryl Swoopes. Jackson has been as productive as ever, no matter how much she has been keyed on by opponents' defenses. She carries a huge load on both ends every game.
