Re: Chris paul for MVP

My reasons for my votes.


Lebron James to me he isn't Most Valuable Player but the Most Unstoppable player, if he feels like it he'll just cut to the basket for an easy two points and there isn't anyone that can stop him. NOT EVEN KOBE BRYANT. But to say that he is the best player in the league, but yet hardly has a good jump shot, and is a liability at the free throw line (70% from the line), is kind of a disgrace to the game. When you say best player in the league you want that player to be able to be simply amazing at everything.

Kevin Garnett Really he hasn't missed a beat, there's talk that he's slowed down a step but its just the fact that he doesn't need to play 40 minutes a game and take every shot for his team to win that makes his numbers go down. It hurts him hugely when it comes to the MVP voting since you have Stat studs like Lebron, Chris, and Kobe. But if you just look at how KG changed to community of Boston, HELPEDlead his team to 66-16 record, and was defensive player of the year. Then its kind of hard not to vote for this guy.

Chris Paul Lets face it, NO ONE expected the hornets to make it to the playoffs let alone the second seed in a western conference where you needed 50 wins to MAKE the playoffs. Chris Paul's Stats 21.1 PPG, 11.6 APG, and 2.7 SPG makes a huge case for Paul in itself. Plus adding that his team had 55 wins and putting into consideration that without him the teams offense is more than likely horrible. Yet another thing to add is that he really saved the New Orleans Hornets from moving to yet another home. This year wasn't the year of Lebron, wasn't the year of the Celtics, or the Year of Kobe...it was the Year of Chris Paul.

Kobe Bryant In my opinion, because he can do anything you ask him to do and do it amazingly, Kobe Bryant is the best player in the game today. He finally has the leadership to go with his amazing ability on the court that kind of reminds you of one person...Micheal Jordan. There was talk in the beginning of the year from people such as Stephen A. Smith that even WITH Kobe Bryant that the Lakers wouldn't make the playoffs, the Lakers are the number one seed in one of the strongest Conferences in history. He was told that he can't get the MVP until he makes his teammates better. Pau Gasol is getting mainly lay ups, Lamar Odom is now a 3rd option and isn't pressured to be the 2nd guy. Kobe was told he can't get the MVP until his team gets passed the 50 mark AT LEAST. Kobe's team is at 56 wins. They told Kobe Bryant that individual stats alone won't give him the MVP, so he decided to lessen his stats for the better of the team.

Kobe Bryant has done everything we told him to do to be considered for the MVP award, what more can we say that he hasn't done that he needs to do to get MVP? I've ran out of them.




In conclusion my voting will stand for Kobe Bryant.
