I never trusted Kobe in previous years because he was just a scorer and nothing more than that. This season, he really deserved that MVP hardware. This season, looking at his games on this playoffs, I can see that he can do pretty much what he wants. He can score whenever he wants. He can sit on the beach for the first half and get on the floor for the second half and still score 25/30 points. Paul Pierce or Ray Allen just can't score whenever they want.
