Everyone says Kobe is the best player, that should be MVP, but in case you want to make a point of "most valuable to your team", Kobe wins there too. The only only legit player on the Lakers is Lamar Odom. The Suns are stacked and Marion is a legitimate MVP candidate himself. There is some statistic out there that shows how valuable a player is to his team. Kobe is number 1, Nash is number 2 according to this statistic. I should dig it up. Nash is a great player. He's fun to watch, but he's not as good as Kobe. He can score and assist(shines) well. Kobe can score a lot (35 ppg) assist and rebound fairly well(10 last night) play good D, is like 9th in steals, shoots high percentage of free throws, shoots like 45 percent(including 3 pointers I think) and also there's the clutch factor. He's the best overall player period. I hear a lot of people say he's the best, but not MVP, I cannot understand this logic. He scores 35 PPG(highest since Jordan in 87) has a 81 point game, 62 points in 3 quarters, breaks a bunch of Laker records, but still can't win MVP cuz people don't want to give it to a 7th seed. MVP doesn't mean most valuable player on one of the best teams... Seed shouldn't matter. The fact that he got the Lakers to the 7th seed after last year with the talent he has on the rest of the team is remarkable.
