Who do you think is most deserving of MVP?
In my opinion its Chris Paul, because of what hes done to New Orleans and how hes made Chandler, Peja and David West have their career years. Also hes averaging a double double while able to take control of games whenever his team needs him to step up. Not only does he average 11 assist but with the 3rd highest TO to assist ratio. 21 PPG, on a high shooting percentage at 49%. He's improved in like every statistical category from his previous years till now. How can you beat that? He also leads the league in steals per game. Thats 2 categories. From not making the playoffs last year to 1st in the west this year. That is an MVP. Turning the whole team around. At age 22, Chris Paul is the leader of this team and the face of the franchise and city.
Although I like Kobe, I don't really think hes that worthy. Even after the Gasol trade he's been pretty selfish still taking alot of shots and he has been a little less selfish over the years but not enough to show significant improvement. Theres a reason all this time Kobe hasen't won an MVP yet, because of his selfish attitude and how he doesn't really trust his teammates say like how T-mac does with his players. Not taking a slight at kobe, still a fantastic player but this year was Pauls year. Also Kobe has alot of support behind him. Farmar is a good bench player, Turiaf is that energy guy off the bench, Bynum+ Gasol is one of the best back courts in the league but alot of credit is going to kobe and not alot to the supporting cast and bynum who has developed ALOT.
Meh, I know the Laker fans will hate me after this. I'm ready to take the criticism.
