I’m not saying that the MVP SHOULDN’T EVER go to the best player on the best team, just that that is an overused idea. sometimes that situation does yield the league’s MVP (like this year), and oftentimes it doesn’t (05-06 and 06-07).

“We all know who number 1 is. 2 weeks ago, I said that my MVP would be whoever’s team (obviously between LeBron and Kobe) finished with the league’s best record.”

?

So you don’t think the MVP needs to be the best player on the best team? Isn’t it kind of a weird coincidence that your MVP choice came down to the two best players from the two best teams and the sole determining factor in your decision was which team had a better record? I mean, if you really believe that the Lakers didn’t care about home court advantage over the Cavs, then why would you let a few meaningless games at the end of the season decide your ballot?
