man dont be coming here saying kobes team was injured. injuries are a part of the game. you cant give someone the mvp trophy just for that reason. nobody expected new orleans to be a contender let alone be in the playoffs. what they have done is crazy and paul deserves it. if they finish with a better record you have to give it to the guy.
and why did you think they didn't have a chance? they only finished 3 games out last year with peja gone for most of the year and david west missing half of the season. injuries are a part of the game, but kobe hasn't let his team falter b/c of it like the hornets did last year.
Yeah that is sort of a funny argument. So injuries are a part of the game but you didn't expect New Orleans to even be in the playoffs when theybarely missed them last season with two key starters down for more then half the season? Really, injuries don't matter? So they went from 9th to 1st, allbecause of Paul, not because they were healthy all season long? Interesting theory there.
If New Orleans loses Chandler, for the season next year, and Peja misses 3 months, and Pargo signs elsewhere, and West misses a month and they miss theplayoffs by a game, I guess that will show Paul is overrated and a bum right? It's the same logic is it not?
There are variables to every players situation. To ignore them is to shape your argument the direction you want it.
