Well, Lebron James by definition might be the most valuable to his team and to his city, but to be the MVP you have to finish in first. Kobe Bryant is having a worse season statistically then he did the 2 years Nash won but since his team wasn't in first, they don't get votes. The Lakers finished first, KG finished first and Paul finished second and that's why they are the 3 clear cut favorites. After them you get Lebron and probably McGrady as the next two. But for this year it's not Lebron but he'll get one. I thought he should have picked it up last year and not Dirk.
