Lets not go this route again please. LeBron's season crapped all over Kobe's that year. All Kobe did was take over 200 more shots which resulted in 2 more ppg and a mediocre team record.

No matter how you slice it, Paul was more than deserving and in my opininon even moreso, but Kobe did merit the award too although the excuses the writers gave was crap.
