Prime Kobe's Numbers (01-10)

[IamRAMBO24]

His 5 rings disagree with you.

A players true worth is not based on the amount of rings he has, but rather the amount of MVP and FMVP awards he has.

Kobe played 2 of his best years of basketball when he won the FMVP 2 times in a row. Those years happen to be Kobe's most productive role as a team player.

Those years happen to be Kobe's most productive role as a team player.

Due to circumstance.

If Kobe has an even remotely competent roster in consecutive seasons from 2006 - 2008, when he was clearly at his absolute peak, he gets well over 50 wins in the regular season, gets past the first round of the playoffs ... and easily should've been a 3x MVP.

Kobe was still having to battle the media scrutiny of him in 2006 and 2007, still battling the selfish tag, and the "he ran Shaq out of town" non sense which made voters skeptical of voting him as MVP.

He was undoubtedly the best player in the league to anyone with eye balls in 2006, 2007, and 2008. He should have 3 MVPs as of right now. The same way Shaq should have 4 or 5 MVPs right now, and MJ should have like 7 or 8 MVPs, etc.
