You must have a better reason than that.

No I don't because that's the supposid reason why Kobe hasn't gotten it the past 4 years. If Kobe doesnt get it this year the NBA is hypocritical.

if kobe doesnt get it than there should be no complaining...i personally think chris paul should win mvp becuz kobe has a lot better team around him, i was saying back in december than the lakers were goin to win it all but his supporting cast is a lot better. and everyone thought the hornets would struggle to make the playoffs. i people got a chance to watch chris paul as much as kobe they would see he is the best point guard in the league. i would make the comparison that kobe(post shaq era) is like KG and paul is like duncan. kg may put up the crazy numbers but he has never been able to really win much of anything. but paul is like duncan becuz he stills puts up great numbers but he makes everyone around him better and i think would be more VALUABLE to his team. take kobe off the lakers and they could still be an 8 seed, take paul off the hornets and they are lookin at drafting derrick rose.

hedo turkoglu should win most improved player, i thought about lamarcuz aldridge but he is kinda like hedo, there improvements came from more playing time and hedo finally being played in the right spot.

nate mcmillan should get coach of the year becuz everyone picked them to win between 21-25 games and they won 41, which is what i called at the beginning of the year.

6th man should go to travis outlaw, he has been amazing this year, ginobili is not a real 6th man becuz he plays more minutes than most starters in the league. and outlaw has been way too clutch this year and deserves some credit for his play.

THAT was beautiful. There was also the one where Kobe pretty much broke down the team by himself and did a wrap around behind the back of someone and gave it to Turiaf for the dunk and1. I can't remember what team it was against but that looked pretty good also.

Great choices. Durant being ROY, I think is the least in doubt of the major awards.

I liked this dunk.

Maybe not dunk of the year but it was an amazing putback. The Durant one you posted was good, but not great.
