In case you're wondering if Kobe Bryant deserved it more than CP3, I'll say it to you now-yes, yes, and YES. 

If CP3 was just as amazing and inspirational as Kobe, yes, yes, and YES. 

If LeBron got duped and screwed in the MVP race, yes, yes, and YES. 

Was Dwight Howard deserving or over-rated? In my eyes, yes, yes, and YES. Sure, the Pistons are no easy opposition, not the Raptors, but still, as an All-Star, a NBA First Teamer, a MVP candidate, you're supposed to elevate your teammates and your team. Fortunately, Dwight has time to do that.

I've read a lot recently about how we should centralize the MVP race or even divide it-one each for the regular season, playoffs, and one for the NBA Finals. This is a valid thought and argument-I do support it. Makes the MVP race and validity just a bit more legit and valid, because as we've regularly seen-your regular season MVP just can't do nothing in the playoffs-just ask Dirk, Steve Nash, and so many others. 

Speaking of Nash, his two MVP titles are just a scam-hate me for saying this, but if he just enhanced his teammates and led them to the best records, then this whole MVP debate is just a scam-you're supposed to be the most valuable to your team, the one that your team just can't do without. Those two years he won it, I'm not sure if he was anymore valuable to his team than Kobe Bryant was for his Lakers, or LeBron for his Cavaliers.

This is the problem with the MVP race now-when Michael Jordan won his first MVP award back in 1988-89, he did so because he accomplished something-his Bulls won 50 games for the first time in history, and they did so on the back of his all-around impeccable game. The guy scored, defended, stole, rebounded, dished, blocked, and led his team in all departments. That is the definition of your MVP-the one indispensable star. 

Like LeBron was for his Cavs, like CP3 was for his surging Hornets. 

But not KG for me. Granted, he's one of my all-time favorites, but this year, for all the talk about the Boston resurgence and talk, he was no more valuable for his team than Ray or Paul (or even Rondo, for that matter!).
