MVP!

I know theres no chance he will ever win on a bad team, but honestly, he is the best player in the NBA but apparently that isn't what counts, to win an MVP you have to be the best player who is also on top tier team and is also well liked by the press.

I mean lets be honest, Nash is a very good player, but the reason he wins is becasue he is white and has a good image.

I'm not sure the hornets can keep it clsoe enough for Kobe to stay in till he reaches 50...

I thought it was supposed to be a TEAM not a one man show, he should learn to pass once in a while.

If one man scoring 2-3x as much as the average player is what it takes for the team to win, then why not?

so long as the TEAM wins then whats the problem? Also, if you are shooting over 50% you might as well just keep on shooting casue thats good enough to win most any game.

They don't need Shaq to win a title, just another good one or two players alongside Kobe.

Put Shaq on the current lakers, replace kobe with average non-superstar guard and see if they win a title. Even Shaq in his prime couldn't do it.
