Speaking as a Laker fan, I really don't think Kobe should repeat as MVP this year - he's been a little too inconsistent throughout the year, and he's got more help on the Lakers than either Lebron with the Cavs or D-Wade with the Heat.
You just about have to give it to LBJ this year based on both his individual all-around stats and the Cavs having the best record, but D-Wade has had a monster year, and is still the one guy I would most like to have playing on my team in the last three minutes of a game with everything on the line.
Funny - there's a lot of arm-chair quarterbacking going on on the Laker's blog "Forum Blue and Gold" concerning why if D-Wade is a candidate this year when his team is middle-of-the-pack, why Kobe didn't win during one of Steve Nash's back-to-back MVP years. IMHO, while Kobe may have been the best player, Nash was still unquestionably the league MVP then, and should have even won it a third time in a row when Dirk won it in Dallas.
