He never should have been taken off the list.

I'm not saying that he should have been voted in right away, but he deserved to be on the list, and by taking him off, you lost credibility

LOL seriously, stop whining and nominate him. If a few other people do as well he'll get back on but I'm not seeing a mad rush for the guy.

Would you have voted him in at #8? If not, then why the **** do you care? He can get nominated back on the list and then picked at #9 if he's the 9th most valuable player.

To be honest, he wouldn't even be in my top-25, so for you to complain and say his list has lost credibility by taking him off... well... shows your level of understanding of both how this game works and his value.

Credibility?

He got 1 nomination out of 35 (I imagine .. yours), and you're whining he's not on the list? Nobody's even nominating the guy, let alone voting for him!

And also, while you say someone else lost credibility, isn't it ironic this guy just happens to be on your favorite team, huh?

SMH at Kobe and his crazy contract being "valuable".

This illustrates the impossible nature of this poll. "Valuable" means different thing to different franchises. The Lakers get much more value out of Kobe than they would Westbrook, and the chance that he brings them wins, championships, leadership, ticket sales is a very valuable thing -- perhaps generating more value than Westbrook does for OKC. On the other hand, for the 24 or so teams that aren't legitimate contenders this year, Westbrook would carry more value because of his small price, age, and room for growth. It's difficult to compare these two in a traditional list format, and everyone will bring a different definition of the word "value" means to them.

Vote: Russell Westbrook
Nominate: Kevin Love 45 straight double doubles is no joke

[KnickelandDime]

Kobe-Add him to nearly any team and he makes them contenders. Even with his contract he would get a king's ransom.

Andrew Bogut-When healthy, one of the only legit bigs and that's valuable.
