Ironically, I don't think either should get it. If you factor in team success, it should be Garnett. He has been a top 5 player, the best defender this year, and led his team to the best record. If you factor just individual greatness, it's LeBron. If Kobe wins it, it will be because the voters have a guilty conscious about robbing him of the award in the past because of his lack of team success (now that his team is good). That's not really right, but he is minus one MVP for his career, so I wouldn't complain. Paul has a nice mix of team success and individual greatness, but he hasn't been the best individual player, and his team isn't the best in the league. So anyone who votes for him is just straddling the criteria, in my opinion.
