I’m sure all of you are aware that I am a big Laker fan and how much I’m enjoying this season so far.  I know this might seem a little early, but in my opinion Kobe Bryant should be this year’s MVP no matter how the rest of the season plays out.  I still can’t believe how he has not won this award yet.  He’s been the greatest player in the league for the last few seasons and just keeps on improving.  The guy is just a complete winner, he hates to lose and that’s the drive that motivates him to get better with each passing year.

This year alone, he has endured great adversity from the pre-season starting from the trade demands to the injury to Bynum and then having a dislocated Pinky.  He’s played through all these things and still has his team sitting on top of the west.  Watching him drop 52 points last Sunday against the Mavericks had me on my feet the final quarter and OT of the game.  Then watching him take the Kings apart on Tuesday just makes me shake my head in amazement.  There are a couple of other guys making great leaps this year but compared to what Kobe has done this year it should be a no contest.  But then again, I’ve been lobbying for Mr. Bryant for awhile now and for some strange reason he doesn’t get this award.  But I believe with as much waves the Lakers are making this year he will win the MVP this year.  And hopefully the Lakers will follow suit by winning the title and I’ll be in heaven.  Of course if the Lakers win it all this year, then Kobe will win the Finals MVP without a doubt.
