Kobe Bryant won his first MVP but did he diserve it?
No. Why?
Because Chris paul took the hornets a team that hasent done anything in how long and made them major contenders and he DID do it singlehandedly.
Dont even get me started on what Lebron james has done for cleveland in just 5 years. In the playoffs four of those five years. won an eastern conference championship last year and made it to the finals in a shorter time than jordan i might add.
lets not forget about Garnett, pierce allen and the celtics.
so concidering all this why Kobe Bryant ?
Well as far as i can tell it is exactly as some people have said a lifetime achivement award.
Lets not forget also thta he is the NBA's biggest cash cow. there were certainly players that had better seasons than he did and because of that the voting should NOT have been so lop sided. but it was. kinda makes you wonder huh ?

The main reason why Bryant got th award and he was deserving of it. It was primarily after all these years the NBA writers felt that they were justified in giving it to him.
However though he's performed statistically better in other years when he'd placed either second or third on the ballot.
To my mind this was done to clear their conscience somewhat.
first off to howardinsacramento, thank you. at least someone out here sees the truth. second to everone else i am not a "hater". i think Kobe Bryant is a hell of a player but he didn't diserve the MVP plain and simple.
Why didnt he deserve it? Your argument is that Paul took the Hornets a team that has not done anything in how long and made them major contenders. Oh and he did it singlehandedly. Although his ppg was 21.1 and David Wests was 20.6. So there goes the singlehanded comment out the door. The Hornets record last year was 39-43. The Lakers were 42-40. Not much of a difference. Kobe MVP!!!
I like both pro and college football and basketball and i like the mlb. im a die hard cleveland fan but that doesn't mean that my opions are biased and i dont suffer from favortism. if another team does good i admit it (usually). i say what i think and i voice my opinions and if people don't like it well thats just fine.
