Kobe wins MVP
There is no doubt for the longest time Kobe Bryant has been the best player in the league. You may ask who was in on previous fixes. In this case it’s not the referees. You can’t blame the fans or the coaches either. It is a handful of handpicked ,hand -me- down ,hand puppet sportswriters. So just one more reason for everyone to hate the media. Kudos to Kobe for finally getting what he deserved. And hey David Stern coaches and fans should decide who gets the MVP for the NBA! This is the USA!

1. I'm biased
But I think Lebron is the most valuable player.

2. Being a rapist should disqualify you from winning the MVP.

4. He's a rapist.
Just as OJ is a murderer. He wasn't convicted, but it doesn't mean shit in my mind.

13. The Duke boys were bootleggers, not rapists
But I admit that I didn't watch every episode of that show

16. Different. DNA linked OJ to victims
Not the case with Kobe.

7. Being a convicted rapist didn't keep Tyson from being Heavyweight Champion
Kobe wasn't ever convicted.


Not that I'm a fan or anything. My b-ball team is headed to the conference finals, and my hockey team is due to sweep the western conference finals tonight.

Now if the Tigers would just get it together.

If the Lions ever go undefeated, it will be a sign that the rapture is nigh.

11. Chris Paul didn't get it because of where he went to school
Wake Forest grads never get MVP because so many sports writhers went to Duke and Carolina.

8. The bias is against shooting guards, not Kobe
The NBA MVP always goes to a point guard or a center.

A shooting guard has about as much chance as an offensive lineman being named NFL MVP.

I don't agree with that mentality but that's the way it is.

10. That's very true
Just like most of the Heisman trophys have gone to quarterbacks or running backs. My bias comes from rooting for the home team.

14. Well, it's true if you ignore Michael Jordan
He won plenty of MVPs and he was a shooting guard.

17. CP3 was robbed.
Without Paul, the Hornets may not even make the playoffs, let alone have the second best record in the West. But I am biased. Huge Hornets fan.
