AX Bro: 50 wins or more for a MVP?? That should be the criteria for best tema, not MVP......MVP...One person ni Bro !! Agree wiht D_Burton....Kobe has been 1st tem defensive player, and 2nd team defensive player at worst....so, he does play on both sides of the court....and 1.84 steals per game this year......C'mon...Give some love to Kobe guys...As most of the sports Analyst, Kobe has been unfairly disliked because of what happened in Colorado, and how Shaq got out of Lakers....for more Money...Kobe had nothing to do it with man.....Shaq was still under contract when he demanded a trade...Kobe was not...! Enough said ! LAKERS RULZ !!
