Kobe…MVP
It is about time voters in the NBA gave Kobe Bryant the MVP award. This award has been long overdue! Everyone knows that Kobe Bryant has been the best player in the NBA for the last 5 or 6 years. He was the scoring champion in the NBA the previous two seasons. I mean, seriously, how is this his first MVP award? Yes, his team is much better this year. But, exactly what did Kobe do differently this year that he hasn’t done the many years before? Statistically, his numbers are not as good as they have been.
So has Kobe never received the MVP award before this year because he didn’t have good enough players around him? People certainly can not use the excuse that this year is the only year that he has made his teammates better. Give me a break! The only reason anyone knows about Walton, Farmar, Turiaf, and Vujacic is due to Kobe Bryant. He hasn’t done anything differently this year than he has in the years past. This year the Lakers were able to give Kobe the sidekick he has been asking for in Pau Gasol, who can make shots and take a little pressure off Kobe. And due to that reason, voters think that he is a completely different player and deserving of the MVP award?
I am just arguing that Kobe is only being Kobe, and if he is deserving of the MVP award this year, then he has definitely been deserving in the years past. But thankfully, the voters have got their heads screwed on straight this year and have given Kobe the award that he has deserved for so long!
