He wasn't. He was amazing though and was the 2nd best player that season.....and obviously had more team success than Kobe. He should've finished in the top 3 in voting probably.
Compare Finals defense (from GS no less) to regular season defense brehs

Iverson 99-2002 was the best along with shaq and Duncan.

Kobe 2005-2010 was the best. Politics kept him out of MVPs.

Kobe was so good by 2005 he took Iverson spot as the best player skill and effort wise.

Yeah we not about to put 01 and 02 Iverson over Kobe in those years, Kobe was the best guard in the NBA in 01 and 02

Kobe was the best from the end of the three peat until 2010 imo. But the rape case and his split with Shaq turned the media against him and they ignored his greatness until 07-08 when they could no longer get away with not calling him the best.

Had Colorado never happened, Kobe might’ve ended up with the same hype around him that we currently see Bron with.

Iverson was the man. Best shoes and best player. Iverson impact was unmatched. Stephen A Smith made a career out of covering iverson.

Nobody was checking for Kobe outside of LA. He was a spolied brat that played w/ Shaq that was being compared to Jordan. But that's better than LeBron being made out to be better than Jordan, lol.

Kobe had a video game. Really didn't get props until he balled after catching that case.

Case made me start to check for Kobe again. He finally seemed down to earth. Iverson was still 5x cooler and more respected until 2005.

That case gave Kobe some cred. The case helped his career, Imo.

I feel like back then everybody knew Kobe was the shyt, "next MJ", etc, but Iverson was definitely more relatable. Growing up in LA i remember we were all Shaq/Kobe stans but at the same time, we rocked the reebok AI sneakers and had cornrows because AI was simply that nikka, he brought that rap swag to the game. Man we used to even rock the finger bands that nikka used to wear :dead:

he wasn't better than Kobe from 2001 on though :umad:

Meh. Iverson was MVP 2001 and it was well deserved. He stayed in the passing lanes and carried a lot of offensive weight.

They had to change dribbling rules cause iverson crossover was deadly with that hesitation! Plus he was part of the reason zone was introduced...shaq being the other.

Kobe wasn't Kobe until the pyscho bean era. He got a lil respect balling out after he caught that case....but once he went solo he overtook Iverson & t-mac.

We wise enough to know certain awards are narrative driven

Kobe was the ace 2005-2009
