Kobe most definitly did not win the MVP last year. He won the Finals MVP, yes. But not the regular season MVP, which went to LeBron. Wade puts up the numbers he does now b/c he doesnt have anybody that is decent on his team to help him out. This is the year that the Cavs get their ring for LeBron to stay. They have everything it takes to be a championship team. They have the superstar(LeBron), the bigs down low(Shaq, Big Z, Varejao), the quick defenders outside(Moon, Parker), the traveled veteran(Shaq), and the outside shooters(Parker, Moon, Gibson, Williams, West).

I stand corrected, it was the 07-08 season Kobe won the award.

Lebron is good, but outside of him none of those players can carry the load if Lebron isn't getting his. Lakers & Celtics have more than 2-3 players that can carry the load.
