What I do think though is that Pau Gasol saved LA some heartache and put them over the top, that's for sure. This all of course takes nothing from Kobe, I saw him change this year, even if he did act like a whiny baby this summer, but give him the award based on his play, and cut the crap out about years ago and how he couldn't beat other players out. Give me a break.

yea good points

lol i still dont really know what the criteria is...I dont think most of the voters do either. I guess there isnt really a defined one.

...but Kobe is the best player on the planet, AND his team is the best in the league. Under any criteria, that certainly = MVP imo
