I am a kobe fan but you guys should look at it in this way. If the MVP should come from the best player in the best team like what has happened for the past years(Nash,Nowitzki) This years MVP should be KG! Best team in the league, best record, best player in the team. But try to take it literally. Most Valuable Player. VALUE, the player with the most value. New Orleans didn't have injured players or at least players with such importance as Bynum and Gasol have to the Lakers. Kobe carried them through those times and that my friends is the true meaning of Value! CP3 is valuable too, his resume is pretty impressive so this would be a pretty interesting year for the MVP. In my opinion it should be Kobe by a very close margin. Kobe has an advantage schedule wise and so kobe should be these years MVP.
