Yea, he said his self before they extended his contract "I want to be a Laker for life". Eventually Kobe we get mo' good players on his team, and he will lead dem 2 da finals and finally he will get da MVP of Finals like he should have n 2002.\n\nYA HEARD!!!

Nah he did deserve it. 40% from the 3 point line, 50% from the field, 90% from the line only the 4th player in history to do that, very impressive. And leading a team without Amare to a 50+ win season and pass the Lakers, yep mvp!

I gotta say that Kobe will easily be in the top 10 by the end of his career.  He's already setting records and people don't even think he's peaked yet.  Comparing him to Shaq is unfair...  Shaq = most dominant player in the NBA, Kobe = best player in the NBA.  The only legit person I'd compare him to is Jordan (not that I think he's as good as Jordan).  Just compare the size of both guys and their game.  Kobe's still leading the league in points per game and most of the time he's double (or even triple) teamed.  He has already been nominated in the "next top 10" list during the all-star break, ahead of players like Wilkins or Iverson.  I'd bank on him even breaking top 5.\n\nMatt

Great question.  I think this year is so wide open.  Everyone who's a candidate has a legit reason on why they should be the MVP.  If you ask me, the MVP should be Billups but if they go James, you can't argue that.

believable. He's a big ball-hog anyway\n\nbtw, he ain't the best player in basketball. That honor still goes to his Airness, Michael Jordan. Unlike Jordan, Kobe's just a natural ball-hog that doesn't care about his team but just cares about himself... Yes he's a one in a million player but he's not of Jordan's calibre.

Only the most ignorant of Lakers fans can believe Kobe wins it over Nash - Who's still playing? I'd say that's way more valuable. Kobe and the rest of the LA-LA-Losers will never come to grips with the fact that Shaq meant more to that team than Kobe ever will. Good luck watching Kobe score 81 in a meaningless game and then score 1 point in the second half of a game 7 for the next few years...

Is that a serious question?  Mike's career scoring avg-30.1 Kobe's avg. 22.9...need more, Mike- 6 finals MVP's, 5 League MVP's, 10 Scoring titles,...Kobe-0, for all these(although he will win the scoring title this year) Don't get me wrong, Kobe is darn good, but Mike is the unanimous greatest basketball player who ever lived.  Stupid question.

No. The NBA MVP award has yet to be given to anyone. It will be awarded later in the playoffs to... I think Nash or Kobe, after all the other awards have been given (Rookie of the Year, 6th Man, Most Improve, and Defensive Player. The Dallas coach took away the "Coach of the Year" trophy.

I don't think so...Dwayne Wade is Special. Is he better than MJ?NO!\nBetter than Kobe or Lebron  .... Not quite. But he is up there.\nI would rate him above Iverson.\nThe hype is his right now he just won the title. But so is the Bullseye, everyone hates Kobe, so they want to crown someone as better. I recall Shaq saying after winning one of the 3 titles that Kobe was the best player on the planet. well guess what he was at that moment. As is Wade right now. But 1 ring doesn't put in inJordan status overnight.. let's not be ridiculous.

Before I answer your question \n\nI agree with you when you said Kobe is a great player\n\nI disagree when you say he is Like MJ on the Wizards. \n\n       Kobe was way better than MJ on the Wizards. On the wizards MJ averaged 20 points with a losing team. \n\n         Kobe averages 35 carrying a 7th seed team. He has no one to help him. \n\n         1.   I am not sure about the other young players but Andrew Bynum is nice. He used to live near me. And I would play with him at the park. He will be a great help to the Lakers.\n\n         2.   Maybe Jim Jackson when they need shots but other than that no. Aaron Mckie is too old he should retire. Being a 76er fan I have grew up watching Mckie he was only good at two things defense and a fadeaway. He has ok defense now but that is it.\n\n          3.    If Odom played like a star when he was on the heat he would relieve Kobe with scoring. I believe Kobe does not give him a chance sometimes. Smush started out great and finished poorly. He started the season with 20 and ended with 12. But he is young so he will get beter. Kwame was never good and Mihm will probaly continue to put up his 10 when he comes back next season. \n\n         4. They need to get a star without trading Kobe. The only player that has a brighter future than Kobe is Lebron.  But Cavs would not do that. Or sign one over the offseason.  Andrew Bynum steps up Smush Parker steps up Lamar Odom steps up. Kobe stays healthy and out of Colorado.\n\n        Just build team chemistry no one notices how much talent they have I just noticed from your last couple of questions. Im not a Laker Fan but I have become one recently because I am tired of people hating on Kobe. And it all started with the courtcase. I think that Kobe is trying hard to ffix it. Helping that kid at the ALL Star Break becoming friends with everyone passing to all the ALL Stars.\n\n    I hope you pick this answer it took a long time to write.

Look.  I'm going to tell you this, and please don't feel like you need to respond, or defend Kobe, since you are obviously a fan.\n\nAnd what I have to say is this.  Kobe Bryant is one of the three most talented players in the league.  However, he is the the most selfish player than has played, since Wilt Chamberlain circa 1961, and that's covering tons of players.\n\nThat 81 point game was the most sickening display in basketball's most recent history.  It was like watching a gangbang, that lasted on guy too many.  Yes......it was that disgusting.  They stood around and he continuously shot the ball...regardless of where he was on the court, and if there was an open man.  \n\nWatch the game again and look at Phil Jackson during this exhibition.  He looked like he wanted to vomit......the entire time.\n\nKobe is not an MVP.  He has MVP talent all the way around, but don't gush all over this guy.  I do like that he is becoming a leader, but he still is not well liked by a lot of people in his locker room.  Unfortunately, he HAS to score....so it's a license to score, similar to Dominique and Jordan of the 80s.....but at least they tried to involve over people i.e. Pippen, Grant, Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis....\n\nWhat will happen is a talent like Chris Bosh comes to LA?  My money says Kobe attempts to eat him alive, and Bosh's career will go down the tubes because if it.  Kobe's middle name should be lymphoma, because he is definitely a cancer on the team.

that's where i'll put Kobe Bryant! he's one of the best NBA players around but i'd say he's not the best right now but if you're talking about looks, i'll vote for him! :)

You damn right !!!!  And if anybody doesn't agree with that then there just full of it and need to wake the hell up !!!!!!  Kobe's the best scorer since " His Airiness" and nobody can take over a game like he can since MJ did it.  He's not better than Jordan, but he's the closes thing, and that's why everyone hates him.  When Jordan was the same age as Kobe he was called selfish and a ball hog too...  and everyone told him scoring kings can't be champions...  Well, six rings later here we are.  Don't hate Kobe, congratulate him, he's the true air apparent.  And he will soon make fools out of all his naive critics, to the point where they don't even exist.  And I'll be there to taunt and reticule each and every one of them.  (people are just to impressionable) !!\nI bet that if Duncan, T Mac, or Kobe  were in the finals right now, everyone would be on their jocks and nobody would be talking about Wade.  Its funny to me how blind people are.
