I think that Bryant deserves the MVP award. From the start of the season to the end of the season, he has been the best player on the court almost every night out. Keep in mind that the Lakers are at the top of a conference that is very demanding and difficult to play in, and they are proving how good they are in the playoffs. As far as the so called "experts," who picked the MVP, he was the runaway winner. He far outdistanced Chris Paul in the voting. I still find it hard to believe that this is the first time he has been named the MVP.
