lakersfag here.
i'm a reasonably big fan of Kobe, but i really can't see it. if he gets it, it'll be a 'lifetime achievement' award, not for the season. if you go with best player on best team, hello mr. Garnett. if you go best stats, hello mr. James. even if you go biggest shock, has to be either KG again or CP3 dragging the Hornets to within 1 game of the top of the west. the bean has been the best all-around player in the league for several years, but this season he's been overshadowed by at least one other player in pretty much every potential facet.
now, he SHOULD have gotten it in 2006, as opposed to Steve Nash round 2. 35+/gm, killing himself to get the team into the playoffs, "MVP moment" 81 points (the real most astonishing stat of that game? Kobe had only 3 turnovers despite 46 FGA plus another 5-7 "shots" that weren't counted because they were missed shots with a foul called). one more defensive rebound and the lakers upset the suns in round 1, in a game bryant dominated pretty much from start to finish (LOL SMUSH PARKER 0/5 2 PTS 0 REBS 2 AST 3 TURNOVERS 6 FOULS).
so should kobe have an mvp trophy by the end of this season? yes. but it should already have a thin layer of dust on it from 2 years of sitting on the shelf.
