Now that the season is over, who is the NBA's MVP? There are two clear front runners: Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. The numbers put by Lebron this year were staggering. Over 35 points and over 7 assist a game. Cleveland had 66 wins while the Lakers had 65. If the MVP goes to who did the most for their team, then it's hands down James. But how can you be the league's best player if your not in the league's top game? As good as LeBron was, he wasn't in the finals. Bryant's number are lower than James. But, they are still pretty amazing. Plus, he made it to the finals. Yet, Bryant has a much better surrounding cast. James deserves the MVP for the regular season. However, for the entire season, it's Kobe.

As a diehard Laker fan, I'd love to agree with you. But I think most people (me included) thought that Boston was going to run away with the East, and LeBron took a team of stiffs and led it to 66 wins, while -- like you said -- Kobe took a team with a MUCH better supporting cast to 65 wins. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, the award goes to the best player during the regular season.
At this point, though the gap is closing, I think Kobe is the best player in the league, which I guess is a little different than league MVP. If that makes any sense!
