Kobe deserves it man. Paul is great, but hey Kobe is critiqued by one guy who wrote on the NBA as "the best player in the world".
Paul can't match his skill. But anyway Kobe is going to be less productive in a few years, and by then Chris, LeBron and Howard would have reached their prime. Interesting to see the MVP race down the stretch.
Maybe Wade will come back too.
