Should have a playoffs MVP. Finals MVP doesn't really mean much to me.

It would never go to a player on a team who wasn't in the finals and then it would end up going the same way Finals MVP does: to the guy that played the best in the winning team.

But it would still come down to one or two players on the Finals winning team.... just like the Finals MVP does.

Yeah but you would avoid things like "Pau deserves MVP". Bryant was the clear reason the Lakers won the two rings post Shaq. Pau no doubt was #2 and was very important but it irks me when people try to take that away from Bryant. And I don't like Bryant and think he's overrated.

Winning finals MVP is like winning SB MVP.
Just cause u had one good game don't mean u were killing it all season.
Besides the national consensus was that Gasol should've gotten that last one.
Whatever....

If kobe Bryant would have been given the keys to the kingdom like Lebron was, he would have a wildly different legacy.

Lebron was essentially told...hey,come into the league do your thing. 

If Kobe was given a similar greenlight, the learning curve would've been much more different. But ifs mean nothing tho.

Don't agree with this at all. He admits himself it took him a long long time to learn how to connect with his teammates and to elevate them to win. He admits that it took him a long time to become a true leader. He really didn't learn to win as the #1 until 2007-2008. That's like 10 years after he entered the league.

LeBron was a leader going back to day 1 in high school. Kobe was the awkward kid who was just wildly talented. 

Give Kobe what LeBron has had to work with in his career, and a lot of people's feelings would be hurt because his legacy would definitely not be where it is today.

If he was given the keys, that might have happened maybe 5-7 yrs earlier. He spent the early part of his career boxing with the shadow of micheal and the idea that he was a sidekick to shaq.

Maybe he matures quicker if that lil brother syndrome isn't fostered by shaq and phil?

You cannot make these assumptions.. Because we don't know what would happen.. Because it didn't
