no his prime was 01-09

01-04 was his athletic peak on a dominant team with another top 10 all-time player
05 was injury riddled season
06 and 07 were his overall prime but stuck on bad teams
08-09 were toward the latter end of his prime but he finally had good teams and started winning again
10-12 were injury riddled seasons
13 looks like his resurgence back to his form in 08 and 09
Nah.

His prime was 06-08. He was much better during that time than in his other years. I would put 03 up there with 06-08.

How can a guy like Kobe prime being only 3 seasons? That makes no sense.

For comparison sake

Magic's Prime was from 85-90

Bird 84-90

Jordan 89-93 (retired) 96-97

Shaq 99-05

Duncan 99-06

Lebron 07-present

No if you follow it closely, Kobe has played at a high level since 01, but yet u want to argue his prime was only 3 years. It makes no sense, Kobe had an elongated prime like the others i mentioned.

How is it Kobe's fault that his teammates sucked and Dirk's and Nash's didn't? A player shouldn't be penalized for playing with worst teammates.

If Lebron was on the Bobcats this year he shouldn't be the MVP?

:what: kobe wanted shaq out & when he got his wish his team sucked
be careful what u wish for

and if u put bron on the bobcats they would win 50plus games

see: the cavs after he left



u cant keep making excuses for kobe

it's not a disgrace he only has one mvp- the only other case he had was for 09, but lebron was worthy also. lebron and the cavs won an extra game that season, but the lakers swept cleveland that year. all the other years, either he or his team didn't meet the "media" requirements which is stupid. 06 and 07 were great individual years but kobe didn't have the great season success unfortunately.

the same way- rose solidified his mvp by his team sweeping miami (bron was his mvp contender) that year. lebron secured his mvp last year with that big time win over durant (his mvp contender) in miami. i think cp3 in 08 and kidd in 02 deserved the mvp but can't argue with mamba and duncan winning it in those years.

They were great in those years, but prime means peak play right? Duncan wasn't at his peak in 99. Same with Shaq in 05, Jordan in 06, and Lebron in 07. Just look at Lebron. He is much better now than he was in 07.

Idk if it's been mentioned but Kobe should have wound up with 3-4 MVP's (He definitely should have got one of Steve Nash's MVP's). Rape case destroyed his image; the NBA/David Stern couldn't possibly justify giving that award to a convicted rapist.

It's sad that some called kobe's lone mvp a life time achievement award, he should have gotten that 06 mvp from nash.

you geeks will never get it, but when players and coaches view you like this you are the mvp




when amare stoudemire is on steve nash team calling kobe the hands down best player in the league, you need to reevaluate that award
