I would have taken Paul, but honestly, I can't really fault a vote for any of the 3.
I would have to agree here, you can argue about which of the three won the award, but I don't think that anyone can say that any of the three didn't play well enough to win it. I would have taken Paul as well, just because I am a fan of the point guard position and Paul is the best in the league at what he does. Kobe, in my eyes, is just a scorer. Meh...
So.....this is about soccer, right?
Kd.
The odd thing, of course, is that Kobe's year was worse than his 05-06 year and Chris Paul's year was better than Nash's 05-06, yet Nash won in 06 and Kobe this year ...
Not saying any one of them didnt deserve it, but lets face it, the MVP is more a popularity contest/team award than anything esle.
Its hard not to like what Kobe is becoming this year. The guy actually has a personality! But I would have voted Paul due to what he's ben able to do with that team all year. Players around Kobe made him and that team better. I think Paul helped make everyone around him better like Nash when he won the MVP
Thanks a bunch!Quote:

Chris Paul, not even close
Well, I really don't understand that at all. I like KG, and he totally deserved Defensive player of the year, but he simply was not as valuable to his team as Lebron was.Quote:
