    LOL... writers are having a field day with lebron sweeping kobe.

    IMO, if Kobe SIMPLY hadn't jacked up shots this past month and chose to play smart and efficient basketball, he'd still have a shot at being the #1 or the debate would still be on. Early in the season he was amazing, and the MVP hands down. But the injuries happened and his stubborn little self refused to rest up or at least "take it easy".

    Take not btw, that the writer never even mentioned Kobe's injuries.

    By the writers definition of who sweeps who should be MVP, does that not mean that Kobe should've been MVP when we sweeped Cleveland last year?

    Writers just like finding new ways to lick LeBron's jock strap. I really wish he'd break a bone or something to keep him out for a while, so I wouldn't have to read about him as often. Or, maybe not. I might have to read more about how much of a pansy he is. And I guess it would probably be bad for the NBA as well to lose it's main attraction. Ugh, it's rough despising the NBA's golden boy.

    I know Kobe is injured, but if the season ended today you'd have a hard time convincing me why Kobe deserves it over Lebron.

    Personally, I'd rather see someone like Kevin Durant win. The kid has been sensational and is leading the Thunder to a lot more wins than what anyone would have ever expected. LeBron and the Cavs are doing the same thing they did last year to me, and doing it with an improved overall cast. If they keep it up while Mo Williams is out, sure, he'd probably get my vote then, but right now, I don't think so.

    C'mon, I have a man-crush on Durant, but there's no way he deserves the MVP over Lebron. Don't let your emotions stray you away.

    Kevin Durant isn't a possibility because his team is nowhere near the best in the league.

    I dunno...I just have an issue with LeBron getting it again because he's putting up mostly the same stats and his team is overall better. They're doing exactly what they're expected to. No one really saw the Thunder coming, and Durant is THE reason why they're as good as they are this year.

    I will admit, part of why I'm opposed to LeBron winning another MVP is because I hate him and just feel like the league is going to just keep giving him MVPs because writers are all obsessed with him.

    LeBron regular season MVP. Kobe Finals MVP.
