Was Chris Paul robbed of the MVP award?

I know Kobe Bryant has won the 07-08 MVP award. But There are a lot critics that beleive Chris Paul was robbed. I just want to know if everyone believes Kobe deserved it, or Chris Paul should have won it.

#1 \| 114 days ago BigZackUNC (+)	+5 What did Kobe do this year that he hasnt already done? Chris Paul had a serious break out year and has solidified himself as a top point guard for years to come Yes

#5 \| 114 days ago Rustysmitty (+)	I had Chris Paul the whole time. Kobe won it for me the last week of the season when the Lakers snatched the #1 seed out from under the Hornets. I'm even a Kobe hater too. No

#6 \| 114 days ago RenegadeLG (+)	+3 I thought it should have been Paul or Deron Williams but I'm on board with Charles Barkley's argument. Kevin Garnett was the best player in basketball the first half of the season, Chris Paul was the best player the second half of the season. Kobe was second best all year. That makes it a toss-up, and it went to the guy that was never third best.

If they were the #1 or even 2 or 3 seed in that conference he'd have a stronger case. If you're going to bring LeBron into the conversation there are guys like Dwight Howard or Andre Miller who would deserve it over him.

LeBron shouldn't be lauded due to his front office' incompetence, although I agree he'll win a couple when he moves to Brooklyn.

Paul still has a lot to accomplish with his age. +3 But Kobe didn't make his team better, his team made him better by having Gasol. He needed a player that he could trust to give the ball to knowing.Kobe was given a sympathy MVP because they owe him for the last 5 years that he has been screwed. But he sure didn't deserve it this year. Based on stats its obvious, Paul beat Kobe Bryant in six categories: FG%, FT%, 3PT%, APG, SPG, and TOPG, while Bryant won in PPG, RPG, and BPG. Chris Paul is the fourth player to ever lead the league in assists and steals in the same season. He is the first player in NBA history to lead the league in assists and steals while scoring 20 or more ppg. And by the way he may also be the last. Also he is also the first in NBA history to record over 11 assists and under 2.6 turnovers. Yes

Thats just my opinion I could be wrong. The 2 years that Nash won the MVPs Kobe was clearly the better player but obviously Nash was in a sense more valuable then him at the time. He provided more than scoring. And by the way I don't care much for Kobe either,I don't even like the guy. Yes

But he went from averaging 5 or 6 pts a game to averaging 17 to 20. & look what Paul has done for Tyson Chandler's career, although Scott Skiles can be partially blamed for that too. No

The way the NBA picks MVP's is all screwed up, and I don't understand it. It's almost like they are giving Kobe a career achievement award, instead of a MVP award. No

#18 \| 113 days ago bookiebuster (+)	+1 To say he was robbed implies that he should have run away with the award, which is clearly not the case. Kobe deserved it more, if not just as much. No

#20 \| 110 days ago fresh15 (+)	+1 the m.v.p award is supposed to be given to the player that is the reason his team is where it is. if it werent for gasol and odom, kobe would've been out the first round. chris paul only has chandler, and he is already beating the world champion spurs in the series. so was he robbed of the MVP? in my opinion, HELLLLLLLLLL YES. Yes

Never mind freaking Peja Stojakovic, Morris Peterson and Bonzi Wells. Both players make their teammates better, but Paul has more to work with, despite what the incensed masses continue to fabricate.

#24 \| 107 days ago kantwistaye (+)	+3 I think its funny how this award has been a joke for the whole damn decade, but suddenly now its the worst thing ever that it may not have gone to the right person. If LeBron or KG had won it, nobody would be complaining about how CP3 got screwed. A lot of this talk is just fueled by Kobe hatred. Oh well, such is life.

#25 \| 107 days ago wil1018 (+)	Kobe is a great player, no doubt about it..but shouldn't he have gotten this award earlier in his career?? In my eyes, he recieved the all to predictable "It's about time he wins one/Career Acheivement" NBA MVP AWARD...CPIII was robbed. Yes

Oh well, such is life. +1 Actually to be honest even if Lebron or Kg wouldve won it, I still think Chris Paul wouldve been robbed. And its kinda understandable that you believe that its all Kobe hatred(Hence Your Lakers symbol). Just because people don't believe that Kobe shouldn't of won it doesn't mean its Kobe hatred. I could care less about the guy I just think it was CP3's time and no one elses. And your absolutely right the award has been a joke because Kobe should have won it the last five years. Yes

#28 \| 104 days ago Southern Lion (+)	Chris Paul should definitely have won the MVP. The NBA is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, and Chris Paul had a break-out season. Kobe Bryant is a great player, but he's had his. It should be Chris Paul's award. Yes

No
