Without a doubt, Kobe is a great player. Although being the #1 scorer in the league, he really hasn't proven anything w/o Shaq other than the fact that he can shoot the ball 30 times a game & average 35 points. Many talk about how Shaq hasn't done anything in Miami, but really think about it... would anybody have seriously chosen Kobe over Shaq if he was still in his prime? I don't think so. There are many Kobe-type players in the league, but only 1 Shaq. You can't be comparing Kobe, who is now in his prime, to Shaq, who probably will be retiring within the next few years. As for this year's MVP, the individual who makes everyone else better deserves the title. Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, Chauncey Billups, are all great examples. As for Kobe, he needs to understand that he's not the next Michael Jordan...there isn't ever going to be one.
