I agree with Johnny up there… YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! Kobe is beast and New Orleans would go down w/o Chris Paul…If Pau went down the have Turiaf and Odom down low it would be no big deal.

Kobe is a GREAT player. I love his desire, focus and intensity.
Now, to the real issue: who deserves MVP.
Usually there are 2 trains of thought on how MVP is determined:
1. Most Valuable to Their Team
No one, not even those HOllywood and media-biased ones, can deny that Paul is surrounded by at best- a good team of role players. Not one player on Hornets can create a shot for themselves. EVERYTHING Hornets do revolves around Paul. With Lakers, you’ve got multiple players who can create their own opportunites: Gasol, Odom, Fisher, etc. No argument, Paul is more valuable to his TEAM.
2. Statistics
Paul is having one of the most statistically amazing seasons EVER. I think only 4 players have ever averaged 20+ pts and 10+ assists in a season.. Isiah, Magic, Big O to name 3. And add to this league leader in steals and Pts-to-TO ratio? And he shoots 49% from field and 85% from free throw line? Hands down, advantage Paul again.

Just remember all: MVP is not a popularity contest, or who gets more publicity. And the MVP is not an IOU for past snubs.
It’s about this year.. and argue all you want, Chris Paul deserves the 2008 MVP award.

I agree with you…mostly because I hate Kobe with a burning passion, but looking at it level headed, CP3 has had better seasons than each of Steve Nash’s MVP seasons, plus you can argue that Paul is directly responsible for David West turning into an All-Star.

Lets see if my math is good… equality signs denote season performance

Main supporting cast
David West >> Lamar Odom
Tyson Chandler < Pau Gasol (only played last part of season)
As far as Bynum goes, MIA.

KB24 = CP3

Lakers pulling off better record, impressiveness 10x more than Hornets

Oh I forgot, Hornet’s got Peja too, that probably helped.

P.S. if jumping over an aston martin adds any “MVP-points” in the voters mind, then they are retarded. Please note, the general public are not voting for the MVP, the NBA analysts, writers, etc are, and they do this for a living, leave the decision to them and your jealousy in your pants.

You’re an idiot! Chris Paul is the MVP because he accounts for 5 more of his team’s points than Kobe Bryant? If this is your best bid, then congratulations on proving yourself to be a complete failure. Who in their right mind would give you the opportunity to spew such illogical statements. Kobe isn’t the MVP because he had a good time making a fun video? Just in case you were unaware, Kobe plays for the LOS ANGELES Lakers, a team that is located in Hollywood. Tear down Kobe in order to make Chris Paul look better, that is quite mature. Denial and False Modesty? So you are denying him of an award because of your interpretation of his actions. Have you not seen the 10 interviews in the past week alone of Chris Paul doing the same exact thing. How many all-stars did CP3 have on his team? Who finished with the better record? Who did so while dealing with roster changes and injuries? Who has been playing with injuries? Get your facts straight.
