If the that Lakers lineup existed, it might be relevant.

Again Kobe had a nice season and deserves the MVP I just dont think he deserved it more than Chris... In a vaccum not including Paul's year than I would have given it to Kobe over Bron and KG easy. It doesnt matter any way because I knew it would be almost impossible for a small market Star* to beat out a Large Market SuperStar




*After this years playoffs I think he will be considered a superstar but there is still alot of doubters and nonhardcore fans who dont know about CP3

Bynum and Gasol never played one game together.

It shouldn't be based on the criteria of being more of a team award. Teams like the Lakers hold it together when Kobe is out... The Cavs without LBJ is like watching a deer in headlights.

Based on what? Kobe didn't miss a game this year. Playing for 6 minutes at a time is a lot different then playing for several games.

I would too, I just don't think it's as lopsided as some are making it out to be.

For what it's worth, I don't disagree with those who would have picked Paul, and I would have no issue with him winning it. Honestly, I probably would have voted Paul just ahead of Kobe, then Bron, then KG.

But people are acting like Vince Carter was just awarded the MVP.

Its cause there is still alot of anti Kobe sentiment among NBA fans especailly on this message board.
