Answer 2

I'm a Kobe fan, but you can't compare him to the greats until he retires. 1 MVP now, might end up with 5. 3 titles, might be 5 or 6. 2 time scoring champ, might be 4 or 5. We just don't know, so we can't compare him to the greats until we know those stats will not change.

And to the guy that said "Show me the finals MVP", obviously knows nothing about basketball, or sports in general. The MVP is not always the best player, it is the Most Valuable. We all know that Kobe is gonna go and score probably 25-30 points, so the other team is going to do what it takes to stop him. Then a player might come off the bench and score 10 points, get a couple of steals and rebounds. He would then be the most valuable. Not because he is the best, but because what he brought was valuable. Jordan got the MVP 5 times, but that doesn't mean he was the best player 5 different seasons, it means what he brought to his team was valuable, and not that he went out and scored 40 points. Even though the MVP is given to the best player (usually), it should not. Paul Pierce in no way was the Finals MVP. James Posey was. He came in and guarded Kobe, knocked down some big shots. We all knew what Pierce was going to do. People think that I sound dumb but they are just ignorant sports fans.
