I heard an interview on radio last week where the interviewee, a voter
for the MVP, said that he was voting for Bryant. When asked, he
admitted that part of his vote was exactly what Dupree says it
shouldn't be: a lifetime acheivement award. How can you give Garnett a
second MVP when Kobe has none?
It's one reason why the MVP award isn't all it should be. I don't think
there is any official guidance on the criteria.
But it isn't objective, and there's no clear-cut winner among Bryant,
Garnett, Paul, and James. Arguments like this are why bars were
invented.

KG's transformation of Celtics deserves MVP honor
Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James or Chris Paul will most likely
win
the NBA's Most Valuable Player award this season. The obvious question,
however, is what makes any one of them more valuable than another?
The answer is a simple one. It's all in the eye of the voter.
You see, first and foremost, the MVP race is a popularity contest,
plain and
simple. It is 100 percent subjective with absolutely no guidelines
passed on
from above.
