Should Kobe have been Finals MVP?

Or was Gasol more deserving?

Kobe averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists a game in the Finals.

So even though I believe it should be Sasha Vujacic, Kobe gets it...

Kobe deserved the Finals MVP fair and square

Who cares?


Winning the championship is more important than who wins MVP.

kobe, even on a bad shooting night, had as big as an impact on this game as gasol. gasol was awful defensively and didn't shoot very well either. kobe nearly had as many boards and helped hold allen to 3-14. only one player for boston shot over 50%. it was garnett. he carried them far more than gasol post - OKC, and even then, he was about even.

They got it right... today the first part KOBE was horrible.... BUT at the end I was feeling more relaxed he had huge rebounds ... simple... he won MVP... lakers won and the end of that ..

Yeah,he deserved it

ron artest(:
bc if artest didnt do so well on pierce, what do you think would have happened..?

Yeah plus artest has cool interviews... doesnt let the reporter talk at all lol

but yeah. kobe.

Ok I gave Gasol two votes. By mistake. Once before I signed in, once after I signed in... so basically everybody can vote twice lol.


Anyway I think Gasol deserved it. I don't see how Kobe was more valuable than Gasol.

game one lakers win

gasol- 23 points, 14 boards, 3 assists, a steal, 3 blocks, 3 TOs in 47 minutes
kobe- 30 points, 7 rebs, 6 asts, 1 stl, 1 blk, 4 tos in 39 minutes

game two lakers lose

gasol- 25 pts, 8 rebs, 3 asts, 1 stl, 6 blks 1 TO in 42 minutes
kobe- 21 pts, 5 rbs, 6 asts, 4 stls, 5 TOs in 34 mins

game three lakers win

gasol- 13 pts, 10 rebs, 4 asts, 2 blks 1 TO in 39 minutes
kobe- 29 pts, 7 rebs, 4 asts, 2 stls, 3 blks, 1 To in 44 minutes

game four lakers lose

gasol- 21 pts, 6 rebs, 3 asts, 2 blks, 4 TOs in 44 minutes
kobe- 33 pts, 6 rebs, 2 asts, 2 stls, 7 TOs in 43 minutes

game five lakers lose

gasol- 12 pts, 12 rebs, 2 stls, 1 TO in 38 mins
kobe- 38 pts, 5 rebs , 4 asts, 1 stl, 1 blk, 4 TOs in 44 mins

game six lakers win

gasol- 17 pts, 13 rebs, 9 asts, 1 stl, 3 blks, 2 TOs in 41 mins
kobe- 26 pts, 11 rebs, 3 asts, 4 stls, 2 TOs in 40 mins

game seven lakers win

gasol- 19 pts, 18 rebs, 4 asts, 2 blks, 1 TO in 42 mins
kobe- 23 pts, 15 rebs, 2 asts, 1 stl, 4 TOs in 45 mins

garnett had a good series, ray allen didnt

gasol 18.5 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 3.7 apg, 0.5 spg, 2.4 bpg, 1.4 TOpg, 41 mpg
kobe 28.5 ppg, 8 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.1 spg, 0.7 bpg, 3.8 TOpg, 41 mpg

so kobe scored better(but shot awful), rebounded almost as good as gasol for his size, gasol passed just as well as kobe, kobe got more steals(wont really hold that against pau), pau got more blocks than kobe(wont hold that against kobe), kobe had a TO problem, kobe played better d on ray allen then pau did on KG and they played the same amoung of mpg


I was originally all kobe.. but looking at the stats you could really go either way... im still taking kobe

Kobe definately deserved it

Gasol is great but he has had more inconsistent games than kobe
Ron only played well in game 7
And Odom just plain sucked

Derek Fisher is a close second though

It should have been Sasha Vujacic's girlfriend,Maria Sharapova

I don't get why people think she's hot.

She does nothing for me.


My sales rep looks like her, but more... um... I'll stop there. I don't want this to somehow come back to me.

I agree Nick.

Sharapova is tennis hot.
Not all-around hot.

Anyway...I'll still go with Kobe...
Except the 1st quarters of games.....the whole offense was predicated around him...
And so without him...Pau wouldn't have gotten the looks he had...

I mean....when the Celtics won the championship...Ray Allen had better numbers than Paul Pierce...
But do you honestly think that Ray Allen would've gotten those looks if it weren't for PP penetrating and setting other people up?

Thats why I believe Kobe deserves to be the MVP

lmao...a day after winning the NBA championship, imagine how pissed Vujacic was when Slovenia blew a 2-0 lead in the World Cup today...

Course, No doubt about it.

Lmao...I know...I've looked through and pretty much only seen Kibby definitively say Gasol, but Gasol has more than twice as many votes as Kobe.

ROFL

U know what screw it....Artest deserved the Finals MVP

Best post game interview performer of all time!!! (as said by Jimmy Kimel)

Wow...Gasol owns the poll voting

I voted gasol
