True. Gotta give it to you Anonymous.

All those cats won the MVP ... "vote".

But let us consider some less subjective criteria ... numbers.

How many of these MVP's have dropped 81?

How many have dropped 60?

How many have dropped 50 back to back to back to back?

For every Nash buzzer beater Kobe has 10.

For every Magic tight-short wearing loopty-loop look-away pass Kobe has a slashing dunk and 1.

Has Shaq hit 61 free throws in his life? Kobe hit 61 free throws in a row.

Shaq needs a 40 point superstar guard to win. The big untold secret: D'Wayne Wade played in Miami with Shaq, EXACTLY the way Kobe played in LA with Shaq.

HE HAD THE BALL. HE TOOK JUST AS MANY IF NOT MORE SHOTS THAN DID KOBE IN LA.

Shaq, when you go 38% from the line, the opposing team WANTS the ball in your hands.

Give Kobe a teammate 80% the player Pippen was and he will deliver a championship this year.
