Uhh, it was rocboys that made the statement, are you surprised? He would believe Keith Van Horn won MVP if someone told him.

Yup. It's about time he got the trophy. He's been the best individual player for a while now, but he's finally turning the corner and workingon his leadership and that's what makes him a worthy MVP.

The Lakers were only successful because of the Development of Bynum and the addition of Pau Gasol, not because of Kobe freaking Bryant. The Lakers without him are still a playoffs team, the Hornets and Cavs without Lebron and Paul are int he Lottery easily. They gave this award to Kobe out of pity, period. This scumbag should of never been awarded MVP. This is his first and ONLY MVP, cause he ain't winning it ever again.
So much hate you've dished to Kobe the whole year, I'm beggining to think you envy him,

The NBA should be ashamed to name a rapist as MVP.
How are you going to have such a person who has committed something like that represent the league.
Michale Jackson should get MVP next year.

Who's Michale Jackson?
And the NBA didn't name a rapist as MVP. They've named an adulterer MVP. But if we're ruling out adulterers... then... I'm thinking the onlypeople up for consideration are... ummmm... actually, I guess we'll just have to give it to A.C. Green every year.

[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 9 Right now they're the wildest card in the deck. With Kobe Bryant they could squeeze into one of the last playoff spots. Without him they're lottery bound. Lamar Odom would become their best player by default, and he's played more than 64 games only once in three years as a Laker.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
Greg Anthony
ESPN.com[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 8 The cloud hangs over L.A. no matter what happens with Kobe. If he leaves, there's an adjustment period for the new players. If he stays, the question of if, and when, he will be traded will linger. Tough times.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]

[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 10 Quite miraculous they made playoffs last year. Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom are not a good tandem -- both are terrific individually -- but sometimes it just doesn't work together. I saw no improvement with Andrew Bynum throughout the year.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]

[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 9 If Kobe remains, he still won't be enough to get this crew into the playoffs. Injuries are a problem again, and team chemistry is -- and always will be -- horrible. The good news? Maybe a "to-heck-with-it'' Kobe will entertain us with another 81, or more.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]

[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 8 It hurts to see such a proud franchise be reactive, not proactive. Patching it up with Kobe was never going to happen, making the draft the time to trade him. Now they have to make a face-saving deal. Meanwhile, a season is wasted.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
Chad
Ford
ESPN.com
[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 2 | WEST: 9 If Kobe is happy and motivated, the Lakers are probably in line for the seventh seed. But if the melancholy Kobe we've seen in the preseason shows up, the Lakers will be in trouble. Kobe being halfhearted might be the final straw that gets him traded.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
Jemele
Hill
ESPN.com
[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 2 | WEST: 7 Assuming Kobe is still there, the Lakers will be wonderfully mediocre. Thankfully the Smush Parker era is over, but their frontcourt is still an eyesore. Let's see if Kobe makes it to midseason without taking out his frustration on someone.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
John
Hollinger
ESPN.com
[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 2 | WEST: 7 This prediction obviously assumes Kobe stays here all season, which is still where the smart money lies in my estimation. If not, revise this downward by 15 wins or so.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
Chris
Sheridan
ESPN.com
[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 2 | WEST: 9 With or without Kobe, they're no better than a 44-win team. They should be a terrific soap opera, however, so don't fall asleep on them. The clock is ticking on the next Kobe eruption.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
Marc
Stein ESPN.com
[/td] [td]PACIFIC: 3 | WEST: 8 You have to believe that Kobe, after everything that was said in the offseason, is going to play with a chip on his shoulder so big that every other Laker can hop aboard. But it takes some serious faith to believe that Kobe and his chip will be Laker property for the whole season.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
[/td] [td]TOTAL PACIFIC: 2.6 | Standings WEST: 8.4 | Standings[/td] [/tr][/table]So really both the Lakers as well as the Hornets were predicted to finish along the bottom of the western conference...they both finished 1 and 2.
The best player on the best team in the best conference won....how can you really be mad at that?
