“Lifetime achievement award? Stop it. Kobe is playing the team ball of his life at both ends for a squad everyone in the West deeply fears. He’s also playing in an individual stratosphere only LeBron can touch. And Kobe’s done it all while playing through a hand injury that still requires surgery, while Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol combined to miss more than 60 games. Add it all up and the game’s best player has had the best season, too.”

- Marc Stein

“Kobe’s numbers are terrific, and he is the only perimeter player in the league you would want both with the ball and defending the ball in the final two minutes of a close game. The Lakers are on the cusp of being the best team in perhaps the best conference ever, despite playing many games without their other key players. He’s played in every game this season, inspiring his teammates like never before.”

“The NBA season is in playoff mode now, and it’s time to apply the kidnap scenario to determine which candidate deserves the league’s MVP award. If you snatched all the top players away from their respective situations, it would result in one fairly obvious conclusion: Kobe Bryant is the MVP.”

“Kobe finally deserves to get recognized for what he is: the best, most complete, thorough-est basketball player breathing. In the end, the haters will have their say, making it three years in a row that he’s been overlooked like a balcony. And even though this year will make less sense in his not getting it than ever before, Phife’s Law is still in effect: “I never need a statue to tell me how nice I am.””

“To watch Kobe during the Lakers’ wins over New Orleans and San Antonio over the weekend was to see his full value on display. The way he directs his teammates, the way he’s in sync with coach Phil Jackson, the way he initiates the offense, his help defense … it’s all the subtle parts of his game that deserve mention. They’ve helped more than his scoring outbursts in the past.”

- J.A. Adande

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:08:46 -0400

“I’d give it to Kobe. What he’s done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He’s playing his best basketball all around. I’ve watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he’s made for the team and he’s done that with the Lakers.”

- LeBron James
