When I read a piece from someone who actually has a vote that say he should be the MVP, then I'll start believing
. (I don't know if this guy actually has a vote or not)
I've pretty much given up and don't really care anymore, though. I just want this team to get healthy and do some damage and then I'll be looking forward to next year.
EDIT: but still, not to come off as overly bitter. I believe.
p.s: I suspected something like this might happen:"The Lakers usually let the fortunes of their players rest on their own achievements, but the team took the added step of sending out pro-Bryant material to NBA writers around the league.
The material was based on an old-style political election campaign and consisted of bumper stickers, campaign buttons, red suspenders and a letter from "campaign manager" Jerry Buss, who urged writers to vote for Bryant.
"From the owner on down, the organization feels that Kobe has had a season worthy of an MVP award," said Tim Harris, the Lakers' chief marketing officer and senior vice president of business operations. "Sending this out is not something we have historically done, but his performance and leadership warrants it."
I don't agree with this, but since the Hornets and their fans made such a vigorous campaign to sway the voters, I guess one can only fight fire with fire. It's still pretty weak, imo, let the players speak for themselves on the court.
Why Kobe WILL win the MVP
