Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Because New York has 8,000,000 people

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

I wouldnt waste my money on Knicks tickets, I dont see why 20,000 people would..

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Knicks tickets are EXP also.... its all an business thing, you guys are forgetting the the NBA is a business, but still Kobe should be Mvp..

In the games that I've watched, he tries to get them involved, but they end up just screwing up, and then he has to take the load himself. I think he's less selfish than people think, but is selfish as a result of the play of those around him.

If Kobe Bryant doesn't get the MVP, I'm going to be pissed more than ever! He has done more than anyonelse in the NBA this season, and has turned his team around completely compared to the disaster last year. Now, it's not about a soap opera, it's about basketball.

Odom is very versatile. He can hit the three and also get inside too. Kwame has improved his inside post moves. The key to success is getting your teammates involved. Kobe does not do that enough to be credited as the MVP because in order to be valuable to your team you have to get other people involved and get them for shots and such.

Chris Mihm, Smush Parker are just average players. Michael Jordan was a great scorer like Kobe and I didn't see him pass the ball a lot.

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Bcb, when will you learn? There is a different set of rules for kobe bryant and michael jordan. Kobe drops 35 on 27 shots and his called selfish. MJ drops 33 on more shots and he's called the greatest.edit: Smush is an average player and the reason why he's shooting is good because he gets alot of open looks because defenses are attracted kobe.

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Many of these kids never watched Jordan in his prime...I watched EVERY playoff game.

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

many of them probably aint even seen jordan play!...im guessing CB

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Kobe > NashThe Suns and Lakers played not too long ago.Kobe and Steve Nash both sat at the same time, Suns were up one. The lead drew to 15 while they were both on the bench. Suns ended up winning the game.Kobe had 51 points on 57% shooting. What more can you ask for? His teammates shot 37%...Nash's teammates carried him in the game. They're the reason the Suns won. Not Steve.

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

No, there are more deserving memberslike gilbert arenas

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Your kidding. Gilbert isn't even a candidate.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BCB @ Apr 8 2006, 10:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I am on the Kobe for MVP bandwagon. The MVP should go to the games best player. Don't give me that <Censored> that it's about who helps their team win most because thats impossible to find out. Who's to know if KG or LBJ helps their team the most and who cares. Kobe is the best player in the game right now, I like Nash but let's get real here. He's not the leagues MOST VALUABLE PLAYER... Kobe has 3 Championships, has done tons of other <Censored> that I don't want to spend 4 hours posting and is averaging 35ppg and keeping a HORRIBLE team over .500 in the Western Conference. I just think it's about time Kobe got his MVP....I love Nash but the more I think of it the more I think it's fishy that he's never played this well until he was 31 years old. When we look back and see that Nash had 2 MVP's while putting up Rod Strickland numbers in his career I think people will think it's a mistake It's about time Kobe got his MVP.</div>Shaq should get more credit for 3 championships.You all Lakers fan said Phil Jackson is a candidate for Coach of the Year, so don't go against Shaq saying that he had a great team already.

 

Re: Does Kobe deserve MVP because it's about damn time he gets one?

Haha, I never said Phil was a candidate for Coach of the Year. I predicted he would be, but that was back in November. He's not an "X and O's" guy. Coach of the Year goes to Byron Scott, Avery Johnson or D'Antoni again.

Gasol is the only 'star' on that team, and the rest are role players. They're playing 11 games above .500 in a tough Southwest division, where you have two of the top elite teams in the L. So that statement is flawed. You dont need two all-stars to have team success. Gasol is the only 20 PPG scorer on that team, and then after him they have 6 other guys who average double-digits in points. They are capable of handling his responsibility as scorer on that team. Why do you think the Wizards are playing .500 ball despite the huge trio of Arenas, Butler and Jamison? Because they have no other players that are capable of doing the same thing that they're doing. Daniels is the only one. After him, everyone else is inconsistent. It's all about chemistry and balance.
