But Kobe was the better player, MVP is based more on your team's record and the individual's image.
I agree and I believe that is why Kobe didn't win it!! It's like 2011 when Matt Kemp lost the MVP to Ryan Braun!! Even though Kemp had better overall statistics, the Brewers made the playoffs while the Dodgers went 82-79!! Different sport, but the MVP voting seems to go the same way regardless of the sport!!
