There was always an unwritten rule in a MVP race saying, that your team had to have atleast around 50 wins for you to be considered a legitimate candidate for the award - Kobe was the best 1-on-1 player in the NBA and most skilled one durning that period of time, but his team wasen't that quite good.Similar to Jordan's 37.1 ppg season - he was tearing the scoring records down, but Bulls were only 42-40 that season, that's why he didn't get the award that year. Same with Kobe - individual accomplishments didn't help the team reach greater level, that's why Nash got the award.

The fucked Kobes exit out the NBA and did us extremely dirty from 2012 to now....Kobe perhaps woulda got to 7, surpassing Jordan, and cementing his legacy as GOAT. If it was for MJ, stern woulda let that deal through.

If it was for MJ, stern woulda let that deal through. I might sound biased on this even though i'm more Team Blake than Team CP3. When it comes to trading a superstar player, here's what you want in return. Draft picks, young talent, & expiring contracts. Not the ripoff garbage the lakers were offering. Finally other teams have seen the light & stopped helping them out. Besides....none of the potential buyers of the N.O. team were gonna take the lakers crap offer. CP3 still coulda joined the lakers in free agency if he wanted to. But he wanted a challenge. I still felt the clippers gave up too much to get CP3. So enough of the stern hates the lakers garbage. Stern mainly hates the celtics, pacers, & a few other small market teams. His dream matchup would be the lakers vs. the lakers.
