Kobe & Kevin Blackistone

After listening to Kevin Blackistone drone on about all the things Kobe Bryant can do on a basketball court, I think I understand why the MVP voters in the media are so drawn to Kobe.

"He can score at will."

Cool.

He couldn't really do it against the Cs this year, having shot 12 of 46 over the course of two games in which the Lakers lost by a combined total of more than 30 points.

But I will concede that against everybody else, Kobe can score the rock.

And that makes him MVP?

It makes him fun to watch, no doubt. Just like it made Dominique fun to watch in 1988 when the Hawks won 50+ games.

But MVP?

Whatever.
