    Default Kobe 1 for 18, LeBron 4 for 11

    In a test to determine who is the best player in the league, the most valuable of players, the MVP award awaits it's destined winner, season after season. An award that says, "You are the greatest player with the greatest impact in the league, and because of this we honor your greatness."

    Kobe has won this award once in 18 years (2008).
    LeBron has won this award once in 11 years (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013).

    1 in 18 is 5.5%
    4 in 11 is 36%

    Can Kobe win 3 more MVPs to TIE LeBron James for being know as one of the best basketball players of all time, and one of the best basketball players in the league?

    MVP totals:
    Kareem 6
    Jordan 5
    Russell 5
    LeBron 4
    Wilt 4
    Duncan 2
    Kobe 1

    Can Kobe catch Duncan? Can LeBron catch Jordan? Kobe has already shown his greatness with a great team effort and GOAT coach to protect/help him, but can he show his supreme greatness by winning another MVP? Many of the all-time greats have at least 2 Finals MVPs (check) but they also win regular season MVPs. Can Kobe become one of the elite? He is falling behind fast, but will he gain any ground?

    A regular season media award defines greatness?

    People forget context when it comes to LeBrons MVPs, what competition did he have?

    The fact that people just point to one thing whether it be rings, MVPs, stats or whatever to prove one player is better shows that they're a dumbass and aren't capable of forming a proper argument.

    If bron played on the same teams as kobe his first 11 years he would have some more rings but less MVPs and vice versa for Kobe. That's why it's just dumb to say 5>2 or 4>1. Context is important because players usually are in compelstely different situations and have completely different circumstances for the most part.

    Together Malone & Nash have more MVPs than Kobe, Shaq & Hakeem combined

    Moses Malone, Karl Malone & Nash have a combined 7 MVPs

    Kobe,Shaq,Duncan & Hakeem have a combined 5 MVPS

    MVP is a regular season award, legends are created in the playoffs

    Nice try, nothing is perfect. Kawhi Leonard has a Finals MVP, so does Chauncey Billups. Does anyone say...

    Billups and Leonoard > Barkely and Malone

    No, because people can still be rational. So, my point still stands. Nice try but you're gonna need to bring more than just the boring, tired, old argument.

    The main reason why Shaq only has one is because he pretty much miss too many games year after year after year.

    Kobe 1 for 18
    Kobe, Mr. Clutch is 2/7 in NBA Finals, the time when he should step it up. Instead his teammates bailed him out. It show how stack his team were.

    Lebron passes the eye test of clearly being the best in the league every year, and his MVP is the product of that. Lets not get denial get the best of you. There's nothing being taken out of context there. Those MVPs show that.

    You are using MVP as the only argument to define greatness, I then showed you why thats flawed, so you include FMVP in your argument now? You are proving yourself wrong here.....
