whats up with all the kobe votes?! WTF?
well i voted for lebron...
explain to me how kobe can be the mvp when the lakers barley got into the playoffs and are clinging on to 8th place
MVP... Most Valuable Player... Nash has weapons around him. He doesn't have to score. He can dish out assist all day because of Marion and the other shooters he's surrounded by. So if Nash was to miss a few games they have players that can come in and play pretty good. Not good enough to win a championship but good enough to still win games. In comparison to Kobe.... Kobe has to score points. Nash doesn't... he can just dish out assist all day because the players he play with can ball. Can't say the same for Kobe.
Kobe goes down and the Lakers won't win nothing. Ever think about Kobe's defense? He has to guard the other teams best player... the Rip Hamilton's, the Sean Marion's, the Vince Carters, the LeBron James', etc.... it's not just about Kobe's scoring. He's more important to his team because his team is garbage. LeBron should come in second... only because he has a better supporting cast... Donyell Marshall, Larry Hughes.... Kobe only has Lamar Odom (when he decides to show up) other than that the Lakers are garbage.
So to sum things up... think about all of the MVP candidates and who they are surrounded by.
