Kobe Bryant better win MVP this season. Period. If he doesn’t then we might as well just label the NBA a joke again and move on with our lives. I’ve got news for all you so called analysts out there. This is not American Idol. These are professional athletes. They go out and prove who’s better night in and night out. And in a league full of fantastic talents and players, Kobe Bryant is and has been for the past 4 or 5 seasons considered the best player in the NBA. His fans, his peers, retired greats, and even Michael Jordan himself have acknowledged him as the best player in the game. And yet still no MVP? You gotta be kidding me!!!!

Reasons Analysts are Saying He Should Not Be MVP
Really it’s kind of simple. They are saying first that Lebron James is having a better individual season and second that Kevin Garnett and his Celtics have had a better season. Some idiots are saying that Chris Paul is a possibility as well. He is having a great season don’t get me wrong, but over Kobe Bryant I don’t think so. Let’s dispute each one of these.

1. Lebron James is having a better season – this is bull. And everyone knows it. You wanna know for real how much better of an individual season Lebron is having than Kobe? Try only 2 more points and 2 more assists a game. Everything else is pretty much even. Oh, there’ s one thing though. Lebron’s team is 40-31 in a weak, and I mean very very weak Eastern Conference. Meanwhile Kobe’s team is 48-21 (for you knuckleheads out there that’s a 10 game loss spread) in a tough, and I mean very very tough Western conference. Remember the 2005-2006 season? Yeah the one where Kobe Bryant averaged nearly 36 points a game. The season where he dropped 63 on Dallas in 3 quarters. And let’s not forget the unforgettable 81 point night against Toronto. That’s six points per game more than Lebron this year and Kobe still did not get MVP. It was given to Steve Nash remember. The reason – because Steve Nash “had a better team record”. Yeah. That’s right. Whoever votes for Lebron James to win the MVP this season is a hypocrite. Straight up!
2. Kevin Garnett and his Celtics have had a better season – this is bull again. First off, the Boston Celtics are the Easter Conference. Need I say more? Second of all, the main reason why people are saying Kobe has not won an MVP yet is because he played with another great player in Shaquille O’neal during their championship seasons. Isn’t that what Kevin Garnett is doing? Ray Allen and Paul Pierce? How about the fact that Kevin Garnett is playing with two perennial all stars. Kobe currently, although he is a very solid cast is playing with none. (Pau Gasol has been an all-star once)
3. Chris Paul is having a great season as well – nice try! Chris Paul is having a career year. And his Team is doing fantastic as well as they are currently right there with the best teams in the tight Western Conference. His numbers too are right there with Kobe’s. 21.6 points and 11.3 assists. But come on. Don’t tell me you think that Chris Paul is a better leader, clutch performer, and plays both ends of the court as hard and as effective as Kobe Bryant. Please!

My Last Random Thought on This Subject
Kobe Bryant should win this year’s MVP for many reasons. He has put up great numbers yet again like he has every season. He provides great leadership as a young veteran on a very young team. He has helped nurture young players like Andrew Bynum, Sasha, and Farmar. This team has maintained a great record and a great season even with all of it’s injuries. Let’s not forget the injuries that Kobe Bryant is playing through. Half of them we never hear about!

Kobe Bryant should win the MVP because of this years play. But also, the NBA owes it to Kobe Bryant to give him the MVP from past year performances also. I compare it to this. Do you remember the Academy Awards in 2002, when Denzel Washington finally won the Best Actor in a Leading Role award? He did a dang good job in Training Day. Don’t get me wrong here. But it was his past performances in previous years when he should have one the award and continued to somehow get snubbed. Think back to 2000, when somehow Denzel did not win the same award for his AMAZING performance in The Hurricane! Also in 1993 for Malcolm X. The awards were stolen from him those two years. That’s why they finally gave it to him in 2002.

Kobe Bryant’s situation is a little better than Denzel’s. He deserves this year just as much as previous years. He reserves the right to be the MVP for what he’s done this season, and all the seasons it’s been stolen from him. KOBE FOR MVP!
