Kobe Bryant is the 2007 MVP far and away, and I have said it on air multiple times, I am now saying it in writing:

It is not nash, even though he had his best season in three years because his backup PG won 6th man and is extremely competent at running that offense.

It is not Nowitzki because he has talent everywhere around him in howard, terry, stackhouse, harris and has the NBA coach of the year from last season.
Not to meniton dirk is a subpar defender who gave up 33 pts to Stephen "the ticking timebomb" Jackson tonight

It is Kobe Bryant because he is flat-out the most talented player in the league. Without him the Lakers starting line-up would be:
PG- Smush "AWOL" Parker
SG- Sasha Vujajic/Jordan Farmar/ Aaron Mckie/Maurice Evans
SF- Luke Walton
PF- Lamar Odom
C- Kwame Brown

That team with Bynum, Cook and Radmanovic coming off the bench might win 25 games if Phil Jackson figured out how the Triangle Offense worked again. With Bryant in the line-up they won 42 games, gained the seven seed and had #24 single-handedly carry them to victory in game 3 with Bryant scoring 15 of his game high 45 points in the fourth quarter to seal a victory and give his team a chance to even the series. Unfortunately the playoffs do not count in MVP balloting so we can move to the regular season where 18 times Bryant tallied 40 or more points with eight of those games having 24 eclipse 50 points. Bryant single-handedly put his team in a dominant position to win all 18 games he scored 40+ and also had two regular season outings with 39 points. Thats means in Kobe=20 automatic victories which would be the difference between what the 7 seed lakers were this year and what they would have been without him. That to me is a player who is MOST VALUABLE TO HIS TEAM. He avaergaed 31.6 PPG and the next closest teammate to that number was the URI standout Lamar Odom averaging a whopping 15.9 PPG. Find me any other team where the differential between the top scorer and the number two man is larger? Still looking, because I can save you time by telling you that margin is not even in competition with any other team in the league.

Steve Nash had his best statistical season of the past three years scoring jus .3PPG elss but making up for it by setting or tieing career highs in APG with 11.6 FG% with a 53.2% mark and 3PT FG% at a 45.5% rate.

Dirk Nowitzki? His PPG total went down this season from 26.6 PPG last year to 24.4 PPG and his RPB were down as well, with his turnover per game ratio going up.

Neither is an MVP this season though, or neither is more deserving then Kobe Bryant
