This guy Phantom must not watch B-ball. I am a Kobe Fan first But instead of praising everything Kobe does I call it like it is. His defense was not as good the last couple of years just watch some of the old games. Having to score so many points could have been avoided with a more defensive mentality which was brought back to him from this summers olympic team. This year Kobe looks like Ak-47/Bruce Bowen on defense, he just seems to be everywhere helping everyone. About the MVP. We all know the media is ruled y the eastcoast period. Kobe doesn’t play that well in that market to the reporters there, who are still holfing on to M.J.’s ghost. Don’t be fooled into to believing that people have forgot Colorado either. Not to mention these experts will never vote someone MVP who is not on a 50 or more win team. Sad to say but reality. Kobe 2 years ago should have been MVP…last year I would put him in the top three but he wasn’t as dominate. Even with the way Kobe ended the year the team was still losing alot…Not saying that it was his fault, we all know injuries but you can’t give a guy a award for upgrading the play of a losing team. Only if it transfers into winning. Bottom line, these experts only see winning nothing else. Without Dirk Dallas is still a good team Without Kobe this team is last years Boston Celtics. Anyhow we still need to upgrade… Guys like Crittenton and Sasha, Cook, even Mihm are expendable… You might have to lose a evans or Vlade, Kwame, Walton but that is the beauty of it …look what the celtics did… They showcased some talent and people bought into it and before you know it they pulled the greatest feat I have witness by one team getting to future hall of famers with tons of game left for role players and maybe one potential stud. Its time for the Lakers to step up and show some balls. JO is available so is Artest maybe Gasol etc

name calling again…can’t trust your opinion to have any value so there you go again. Listen to PJ and players and others in the league…there is a consensus that kobe really didn’t play defense the last few years….wanna hint….there is a big difference from this years defense than last year, think about that before you come up with a phantom thought.

He didnt play much defense, thats true. But what other guard would take that defensive spot, other than Kobe? Kinrich and Kidd??? I dont think so. Kobe probably didnt deserve it because of his lack of defense, but when he did play, some D, he is still far better by a long stretch than anyone in the NBA.

ablounge,

my point is they dont hand out awards for nothing. look who else is on that list, all of them are deserving as was Dirk for mvp. watch a little more espn and a little less gay porn.

so they give him first team defense but not mvp? that makes a lot of sense!!! Or maybe just maybe he deserved it. ummmmm… i think i’ll go with the later.

This must be a phantom thought because it holds no weight.

Ahmed,

Kobe defense is suspect the last 2 years? He was first team all defense last year. think before you write…

His defense wasn’t that good last year. The only reason he made 1st team defense was because of reputation.

they dont give awards out on reputation. if so he would have won the mvp by now…

they did last year, this year he is earning it so far.
