Another college coach going to the pros has Billy Donovan written all over it.

Wrong. I think Kobe had the best year of anyone in 2008. Better reading comprehension would be your friend.

Don't call me boy.

And as I said before, this as much as can be expected from you.

Stop lying you fraud :mjlol:

I get what you're saying, but you don't get the MVP for what you've done over a career. You get it for your performance in a specific season.

And Kobe never clearly deserved the MVP in any season. Even in 2008, his MVP could have arguably gone to Chris Paul.

Kobe: 28-6-5 on 46% shooting with 2 steals for a 57-win team
Lebron: 30-8-7 on 48% shooting with 2 steals and 1 block for a 45-win team
Chris Paul: 21-4-12 with 3 steals on 49% shooting (led league in both steals and assists) for a 56-win team

The win difference didn't really accurately show the difference in teams - Lebron looked way better against the Celtics and came much closer to beating them than Kobe did - but Lebron was still penalized for it. And Chris Paul was penalized by the "Kobe needs an MVP before his career is over" factor.

Kobe won MVP in 2008 because it was the closest he had ever come to having an MVP season and everyone wanted to make sure that he had one before it was too late. There wasn't any other year where he had the best case. If a 32-6-5 on 45% shooting Kobe deserved MVP in 2007, then a 30-8-7 on 48% shooting Lebron certainly deserved it in 2008. The problem in both cases was that their team didn't look good enough (Kobe's team won 42 games and Lebron's won 45).

#2 in MVP voting usually means that you played well enough to win an MVP, but someone else happened to have more of a narrative that year. Chris Paul got 28 1st-place votes that year, which was more than Kobe got in ANY season other than 2008, and a lot of people felt that CP3 only finished 2nd because Kobe got career achievement sympathy after not having gotten one for so long.

You think Kobe had the best year yet you juelzed about him only getting MVP because he didn't have one and that CP3 really deserved it, which is a narrative only LeGBT fags and kobe hating media ran with. You're gonna keep getting cooked, calling posters ignorant when you made that dumbass Cooper Kupp thread when you never even watched him play before. Didn't know even J's stood for Jordans but you're talking about ignorance. Tried to downplay Messi during the WC based off random stats you looked up. Everyone sees your schtick now, the jig has been up for a while.

I swear, you're just not bright enough to have these conversations.

CP3 arguably did more to deserve MVP than Kobe did in the REGULAR season. Kobe arguably had the better year than CP3 overall cause Kobe made the Finals and CP3 didn't have as strong of a playoffs. I already pointed that out earlier in that thread.

Professor Emeritus said:
It's funny cause if y'all were really trying to win this argument competently, you'd argue for 2008. That's the year he came closest to having an undisputed case - he was the MVP (Chris Paul got a lot of 1st-place votes too, but there was some separation and CP3 only made the 2nd round of the playoffs) and he made the Finals (lost there and Paul Pierce was Finals MVP, but no one really thinks that Pierce was the best player that year). And Bron was dealing with back problems in the 2008 regular season so his #'s and win totals weren't as good as in other years, he had an amazing Game 7 against the Celtics and otherwise it wasn't a memorable year for him. But y'all are reluctant to argue for 2008 alone cause you know it's not a slam dunk. So you're arguing for these "range" of years and missing the actual question in the OP completely.

It's the same argument for Bron in 2020 - I've said that Giannis deserved MVP for the regular season, but Bron had the best year of any player. Same goes for 2016, obviously.


You made an entire long argument based off of not realizing that MVP is only a regular-season award. :mjlol:
