Kobe gets it. I don't know how LeBron is even being considered. He is "leading" his team to the 13th best record in the entire league while playing for the Eastern Conference!
Clearly most of us acknowledge this and now have Lebron out--see the voting. But KG's team has been by far the best team in the league. And Paul's team is two games up in the loss column on the Lakers, who are tied with 2 Houston and SA (thus the Lakers are between #4-#6 overall). Paul also leads the league in two categories, assists and steals, and is a 20PPG+ scorer shooting better than Kobe. Kobe may get the MVP, but if he gets it over Paul and KG--if Paul's teams hold on the the #1 seed, it will be a legacy vote, not a rationale earned vote. Think back to Karl Malone's MVP when Duncan had better stats and Duncan's team overtook Malone's for the #1 seed at the end but the idiot voters had already mailed in the ballot and refused to consider all the facts (and Duncan carried that team to a title--proving he was better than Malone at that time in their careers).
