On a serious note: he does have a good case. He is one of the top 5 candidates right now, along with Rose, Howard, Dir, Lebron, and Durant.
I don't think he's the MVP, but all those people at the beginning of the season that were doubting Kobe when he was coming off knee surgery, look silly right now. I fully anticipate him taking his game to another level in the playoffs.
Haha oos my mistake. Ok looking at that list of players again I think this is how they rank right now. 1. Rose 2. Howard 3. Dirk 4. Kobe 5. Lebron 6. Durant
