Kobe is the MVP
I always hear that without Steve Nash Phoenix would fall apart. That's pathetic. They have a loaded roster, talent at all the positions. The same goes for Dallas.
So why do the two players with the best ensemble casts, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzski, always frontrun the MVP talk? Kobe Bryant has Lamar Odom, and that is the only other player on his team that can really create his own shot. I mean, has anybody seen this guy lately? Talk about peaking at the right time. That's exactly what the Lakers used to do when they were winning championships. Of course, back then Kobe and Shaq always got dropped down in the MVP discussion because of the fact that each had each other to relieve pressure. Who is relieving pressure for Kobe Bryant? Maybe if he had a Josh Howard, Jason Terry or a Jerry Stackhouse, he could relax on offense and save his energy for clutch fourth quarters. Or if he had a Shawn Marion- Raja Bell-Leandro Barbosa- Boris Diaw-James Jones three point shooting threat, he could dribble anywhere on the court and not worry about being doubled immediately. I mean, have you seen him? He's going through double teams like MJ. That's it. I've never seen somebody cut so nice, and neither have you. No, you haven't. Stop trying to think of someone. Kobe For MVP. All I'm saying.
