MVP: Kobe Bryant (most people will have a weird feeling if Kobe didn't get it)

People are still hyped up on the 81 point game, Kobe's team is on pace to win a measly 44 games. That wouldn't have gotten you in the playoffs last season in the West, I'm not sure how that is MVP like performance. If he get's MVP then McGrady should've gotten it when he averaged 32-6-5 and the Magic made the playoffs as the 8th seed.

If it was based on someone who was helping their team win, I'd go with Steve Nash.

LeBron James (Only coz we got 2nd best record in east).
You weren't impressed with the 62 in 3?

I don't think you understand how the award is given out.
Note this: Wilt did not win MVP when he average 50+ PPG and scored 100 points.
The next year when he average 44.8 PPG, he didn't even make All-NBA first team.
The Lakers are 22-19 and their current pace is 44 wins, that's really not special in any way.

It's not about me being impressed, I was impressed by both, but that doesn't make him the league MVP in my mind by any means.

So this is the grounds you set to guarantee someone else besides Kobe Bryant wins it this year. Gotta be a great player for people to hate you so much.

put Steve Kerr in his place and they still have a
great record, he's not an AS starter
Chauncey aint no Bill Russel.
I call that a big mistake.
What Kobe is doing with this "CBA" like team is special but ofcourse he
needs a couple more wins than 44 to get it.
How good would the Pistons be without Chauncey Billups?

These guys aren't the Pistons, the starting point guard is a D-leaguer and the second best player on the team is virtually garbage in comparison to what he used to be.
I think they'll win a few more than 44, but even if they don't a 10 win improvement purely based on the play of one player has to get a look. Who are the other candidates? Billups, Nash, LeBron etc... their teams are vastly superior to the Lakers so of course they're going to win. I don't think team records should take as much importance as some people want to put on it.
