Does Kobe have a shot at "stealing" the MVP award?

=============================================================
Rose     36.1  25.6  .544  3.7   7.1   1.1   0.6   3.3   13-3
Howard   41.6  22.6  .622  15.9  2.0   1.6   3.7   4.7    9-5
LeBron   40.1  28.0  .642  7.6   6.1   1.1   0.5   3.0    9-6

Kobe     33.8  25.8  .520  4.8   4.4   1.2   0.2   2.5   12-1
Durant   38.1  25.5  .607  5.4   3.1   1.4   1.1   1.4   14-2
Dirk     34.6  24.6  .616  7.9   2.6   0.3   0.4   1.8   10-6

Could have easily been Durant for the West, all things considered.

I heard Brevin Knight say that Kobe was the MVP. That makes him and Webber the two guys I've heard publicly endorse Kobe. Mark Jackson on the otherhand is an idiot, essentially saying to him that Rose is the MVP no matter what happens in the final stretch. Really Mark? If the Bullls lose 7 in a row, are you still going to give him the MVP?... Thankfully I don't think people like him have a vote, guys like EJ, Stein, Bucher etc do, hopefully they're more level headed.

Mark Jackson is a clown.


But honestly Kobe has not been playing very will during this stretch. Bynum, Artest and Odom emergence after the all star game is the reason why we are doing what we doing. Kobe had some good stretches. But he's been up and down and his defense to me is subpar. I'm still going with Rose.
