I'll echo Phaded on this one. I was wrong they wouldn't make the playoffs. That said, MVP? LMAO
I would vote for Wade, Lebron, Nowitzki, Nash etc. long before Mr. Bryant. Jacking up 30 shots a game to get your average and cursing your teammates the rare time you actually give them the ball isn't MVP material. I would also strongly dispute your inference that Mr. Bryant is the only reason they're going to make the playoffs. The strong play of Odom, Parker, Mihm et. al. are the reason they're going to the postseason. They're doing all the little things while Mr. Wonderful goes out trying to win the scoring title.
