Bryant, Wade, and Kobe, not in that order
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Who wins the MVP in the NBA this year? There are really 3 main candidates and they are not hard to figure out.
LeBron James
Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
So who wins it? Kenny Smith, writing for Yahoo.com has some definite opinions.
Dwyane Wade brings the excitement
Kenny likes DWade, because he is so exciting and has very little help. He has to do it all. Kenny eliminates DWade by insisting that he play for one of the top four teams. He believes that the MVP should carry your team to the playoffs.
LeBron is another story. Is there any other player with this much talent? How can this guy be so big and still play the small man’s game as well as the big man’s game? Need speed? LeBron has it. Need jumping ability? LeBron has it. And if your team wants to play great just put players where they like to shoot, because other teams will double and triple LeBron leaving guy’s wide open to shoot.
Finally there is Kobe. The one that reminds you of the One, the Michael, the Jordan. Kobe will not just beat you, he will destroy you.
Which player is deadliest with the game on the line? Kobe. He not only lives to win, he enjoys demoralizing opponents. That edge is what separates him from LeBron and D-Wade. He’s the guy who kicked sand on your face at the beach.
Kobe almost has a Jordan-like aura among NBA players, and for good reason. He has more offensive skill then anyone in basketball. If Jordan is No. 1, Kobe is 1A. He isn’t Jordan to my generation, but Kobe is tops to the now generation. Believe that.
Kobe actually has more offensive moves than Jordan and shoots the 3-pointer slightly better. And who scored 81 points in a game? Not MJ.
So who does Kenny pick? Well, you will just have to read the article and find out for yourself.
