Personally, I love the way Kobe plays and he's my idol. He is one of the most emotional players on earth (the other guy is Kevin Garnett). He defends the ball as good as Ron "Ron" Artest. Most importantly, he has the killer instinct to score when the ball is on his hands. Unlike Lebron "King" James who uses only strength to penetrate, he uses his unpredictable steps which always seems to have an extra step for him to shoot. Hell yea, he's the best player on earth but here are the reasons why he doesn't deserve to be the final MVP.
Pau Gasol has been playing very consistently in the series. He had to defend the big men from "C" ranged from KG to Perkins to Babyface to Rasheed Wallace. None of the "C" big men did as much damage as the smaller players such as Rondo (who has been consistent) or Ray Allen (who went frenzy in game 2) to the Lakers. You've gotta give the credit to Pau's defenses on these big dudes!! Oh yea, Kobe defended Ray in game 2!
Pau Gasol is being clutch when he's needed to be clutch on both ends. He blocked Pierce's ball in the final minute which led to a Celtic turnover. He scored critical points when the Lakers went cold on shooting.
Kobe's shooting was terrible on game 7 and committing several critical turnovers which convert into 13 points Celtic lead.
Kobe handled the ball too much and shooting way too frequent (sometimes ineffective and sometimes got lucky). He got all the credits for scoring because he shot 60% of the Lakers possession? Give me a break!!
Kobe needs Pau more than Pau needs Kobe. Pau could have joined Wade or Lebron and still win a championship! Umm, Kobe?? You can't do that!!
Lastly, Kobe won the final MVP last year. You've gotta share the damn trophy to your fellow teammates such as Pau who won you the championship man!
