For a guy who sat on the bench refusing to play in the playoffs. For a guy who swore he'd never put on the LA Jersey ever again just last summer. For a guy that said he has to be traded or else he's a NO SHOW.
He gets rewarded for MVP? What kind of jokesters are being allowed to vote?
Put guys in that can run HIS game and HE's the MVP? Only if it means the MOST VAIN PLAYER!
This is a huge cut to what pro ball is supposed to be. Forget the guys that battle through and make their team better? No it's for the crybabies like the Derk's and Kobe's now.

#2 you sound like you have the devil in you. What's wrong with you that you have to judge so harshly. Were you abused as a child or maybe still being abused? Lighten up the world has its problems but you don't have to be suicidal. Relax and enjoy a cold one and watch the lakers get into the finals. And kobe, well he is just going to punish the other teams that get in his way.

Kobe got the award because he helped the Lakers get their first place finish this season despite his whining about wanting to leave the Lakers since I believe he wants to win an NBA title without Shaquille O' Neal as his tag team partner and shut up his critics about no Shaq no title label.
