he should win the mvp. the lakers would be horrible without him. and nash is not a 3 time mvp. no way is he as good as jordan, kareem, bird, magic, etc.romocop33
Nothing like listening to a fan. This guy has the week of his life and all the sudden he should win the MVP which is a SEASON LONG award, not a WEEK LONG award. I will agree w/ you that the lakers wouldn't be as good w/out him, but if you look at the numbers over the last couple years the lakers have a better record when playing without kobe than the suns do playing w/out Nash. And to then sum it up by saying that he isn't as good as jordan etc. is just the dumbest thing i've ever heard. He isn't as good as jordan or magic, but the award doesn't measure that, it measures most VALUABLE to their team not the best player. The funny thing about all this is i couldn't care less who wins the award cause i'm not a fan of any of them to the extent to state bias comments, but to give the guy the award based on 4 GAMES, that's a joke

i don't understand why you all are basing a season award like the MVP and using this 4 game stretch as your argument. If the MVP was given based on the best week long performance than yeah he deserves it, but to give it to him just based on a week and not take into the fact that the rest of the year he has been struggling just to keep this team in the playoff hunt, that is rediculous, and shows that you are speaking as a kobe fan and not an objective basketball fan. Now if he can continue this for the remaining month and lead his team up into the 4th seed or something like that, than you can mention him in the MVP race, but otherwise he is just having a hell of week. Please keep in mind i'm not bias towards any of the MVP favorites, but one thing i am bias to is that you HAVE TO BE AT AN MVP LEVEL THE WHOLE YEAR, AND YOUR TEAM MUST BE IN CONTENTION AS A RESULT OF IT. Just using what i said i would have to give the award to Nash AS OF NOW because his team, regardless of all the stars on the team, is a below 500 team when he's out of the lineup, but when he's in the lineup they are arguably the best team in the league. Like i said before, i'm not a kobe hater by any means, but you CAN"T give a SEASON AWARD LIKE THE MVP BASED ON 4 GAMES. It doesn't work that way.

no he's not.  A few good games don't overshadow the fact that HIS TEAM is struggling to stay at the BOTTOM of the playoff race.  Stever Nash or Nowitzki will win.  Especially Nash because of the way his team plays when he is not on the court compared to when he is.  I'm not gonna dispute that Kobe is probably the best player in the league, but best and most valuable are 2 different things.  There not going to give it to someone struggling to make the playoffs over a guy who's team either has the best or second best record in the league.

after the first round i'm in first place but the duke game really hit me hard. I had them going to the elite 8 so that will catch up w/ me. I thought if they got passed VCU that bracket fit their style of this year really well. They don't have the athletes to run up and down the court (that's why UNC wore them down every game), so i figured if they could play in a half court they would have a good shot. With the exception of Kansas who can run, you have Pitt, UCLA, Indiana and SOuthern Illinois who all play half court, defense oriented games. I thought they would have a shot. Damn VCU

im gonna get it for sure! i can't wait till mike tyson comes out!tantalus4
you won't get mike tyson, you'll get the revised version w/ "Mr Dream" instead of mike tyson. I agree w/ the a previous post that said it simply takes away from the full experience. It's not the same if it isn't EXACTLY THE SAME, and it's not. Even the feel of those old silver and black controllers is something i need. Maybe it's just me, but that's how i feel. That is why if i want to play old NES games like tyson's punch out or tecmo bowl i will play them on an NES, not some modern emulator that is trying to recapture the game but can't do it to the full potential.

[QUOTE="sixringz1"]this is a matter of simple statistics.  If you fill out multiple brackets and pick different teams on each one until you pick every possible scenerio you would get it.  I don't have a calculator by to figure it out, and don't get me wrong there are probably thousands of different possobilities, but not 9 quintillion or whatever that number was that i never heard of.  But in terms of having just one bracket to choose, yeah i can buy that it would be some crazy odds like that.  I wonder how espn, or those other sites who offer grand prizes for picking all the right teams, monitor this stuff.  Cause it's just like code breaking.  If you get enough opportunities and fill out all possible scenerios, eventually one will hit.

[QUOTE="flyer4057"]its just spring trainingXxMa5icarxX
It doesnt matter if its spring training its not like football or basketball. If you give up runs you give up runs. If Mariano Rivera gave up 10 runs(even he would be taken out if he gave up 2) it still means sumtins up no matter what game it is.

I completely buy that for veteran starters, but for someone who is pitching to players for the first time in his life and still getting acclamated to the united states i'm not weighing too much on this performance. He should be treated just like a rookie who is trying to get familiar with certain hitters tendencies.

i'll say the orioles. it will hurt them that they are in the same division as the yanks, sox, and jays, but another year under leo mazzone will help all those young arms namely bedard and cabrera.

[QUOTE="schoolisnotkool"]At this point in spring training I would say the BoSox. Schilling, Becket, Matsuzaka, Papelbon, Wakefield, looks like a good line and they're pitching phenomenol so far, of course its still the pre-season but thats my pick. dru26
Schilling and Wakefield are well past their prime, in their 40s and due to breakdown. Beckett was awful in the Americal league last year leading MLB in HRs given up per 9 innings, Matsuzaka is unproven and a questionmark (Irabu was highly touted as well), and Papelbon is very good as a closer but was shaky towards the end of the year in big spots. I would say the Yankees easily have the best rotation.

The yankees? Are you serious. it's ok, we must have a fan.
