2 reasons.  They are celebrities, and some celebrities think now that  they are famous, they can do whatever they want, they think there are no consiquences.  Reason 2, the world period has become a more corrupt by the minute.  Just my opinion but i hope it helps.

One of the criteria for NBA MVP should always be making one's teammates better. Nash does that. Kobe does not. He's made efforts before in the past, but it never lasted for very long (see his 81-point "performance") I'm speaking from the standpoint of a former Laker fan who was a fan until they traded Shaq. And before anyone calls me a "bandwagoner", I was a fan during the "Showtime" era and continued watching through Magic's retirement and through the Shaq & Kobe era until Kobe got Shaq traded. Also, an MVP never skulks off the court without so much as a congratulations to the winning team.

Dirk is one of the most phenomenal players in the NBA.  He has some people slam on him, but the amount of people he slams on is much higher, especially now that he is going to the rim more often.  San Antonio was a formidable opponent.  I am just glad the Mavs squeaked by.

Except 4 Kobe, they are:\nIverson, James, Pierce, Nowitzki and Garnett, because they have an ability to either lead a team or help team score, rebound the ball,etc.\nU can add Ben Wallace, J. O'neal ,Nash and Wade to the list, too. They are, also, very good players.

Kobe has the biggest ego of all time.  Still, he is money at the end of a game, or at clutch moments

Wow, before I read the details, I had picked Barry Bonds and Kobe Bryant.  I would also like to add Terrill Owens for his selfishness.  Great Question!
