Without Question, LeBron Is League's Best Player

Submitted by Daniel Delgado, Mar 7, 2008 12:04

I hate it when you guys change the rules every time. Make up your mind! When Kobe was putting up way better numbers than Lebron everybody was saying that he wasn't on a winning team and that he needed to be on a 50 win team in order to be considered MVP. He played with the likes of smush parker and Kwame for petes sake and he still took them to the playoffs and almost beat the suns and their MVP steve Nash. The cavs seem to be headed to a 45 - 47 wins this season on a very thin east conference and now you're saying he deserves the MVP because of his stats (shooting % etc etc.) Don't get me wrong but I love Lebron and all the things he's doing for cleveland and the nba, but if you dunk the ball most of the time and dominate because strength and body like Shaq of course you're gonna take higher % shots and as a result you're going to make more. Kobe has been robbed the last couple of years because the media doesn't like him. Or you're gonna tell me that he wasn't playing much better than Lebron is today, putting up much better #'s not to mentioned that unreal 81 game (2nd all time). If Lebron would've done that all of you kobe haters would be on your knees bringing the red carpet out every time he walks into a building. "I just wish more people would celebrate Kobe. I really do. We spend so much time trying to tear him apart and I think we're missing how great he is" Doc Rivers All the basketball players think Kobe's the MVP and I believe they know about the game much more than you guys. The award should be selected by GM's, Hall of Famers and not people who just analize stats. I can't believe how does Nash have 2 MVP's and Shaq only one = Dirk Nowitzki. I don't even think Dirk is a Hall of famer and shaq's one of the most dominant centers of all time. Can you explain that? If you guys want to rob Kobe again go right ahead. One thing's for certain the Kobe's getting the finals MVP and the O'brien. From Argentina
