You gotta give it to him. He's a master of his craft. No matter how sad it may be.

I hear all the arguments for various people... especially Billups... but IMO MVP means.. who made the DIFFERENCE.. what happens if this individual is NOT part of the equation...

Without Billups... Detroit still goes to the playoffs.. they're still a damn good team.. so he's valuable as a complementary component.. but the team doesn't pack up and go home if he's not there..

Take LeBron out of the equation.. and we're sitting home next month.. he's not valuable.. he is THE MOST valuable player..

MVP Race still too close to call

Kobe:

Oh, and don't forget Kobe Bryant's choice: Kobe Bryant.
"I'd vote for myself," the Lakers star said with a smile.
And if he couldn't?
"I wouldn't vote at all."

LeBron:

"I never worry about individual accolades," James said. "Never have and never will. I feel like the individual awards will come with the team's success. They recognize that, people who are voting for the MVP race, and they'll probably realize who the MVP of the league is."

That's the reason LeBron has his team on the cusp of fifty wins and homecourt in the opening round and Kobe is barely hanging on to the bottom of the playoff ladder with similar supporting casts. Fuck the 81 points in a game. If LBJ went out there and hoisted 32 shots a game he could score 35 a game too. LBJ >>>> Kobe. Any argument to the affect of "the Lakers would be horrible without Kobe" is ludicrous as the same thing is true of LeBron and the Cavs. Kobe has no place in any MVP discussion.

LeBron: 31.6-7.1-6.6 Cavs 48-31, 4th(3rd) in East
Kobe: 35.3-5.3-4.5 Lakers 43-37, 7th in West

To be fair to Kobe, that record would EASILY get you into the playoffs in the east...he's still a jerk though.

No disagreement there, but I have a feeling if you were to switch the two, LeBron would have the lakers in a much better situation than Kobe would with the Cavs. LeBron has more of a tendency to bring out the best in others and will look for teammates in clutch situations whereas Kobe will take the shot everytime. Granted he makes a good number of them, but it becomes a problem when he has two and three people on him like the game at the Q last month.

I just see Kobe as the epitome of the selfish athlete, the Barry Bonds of basketball if you will. Just see his comments above, said in jest or not, deep down i believe that to be his true feelings. He is no doubt a spectacular basketball player and talent, but not an MVP.
