First, if you watched the Lakers with any regularity, you would understand the error of your statement. If Kobe had left mid-season to have finger surgery, The Lakers don't make the playoffs. Kobe is every bit as valuable to the Lakers as Chris Paul is to the Hornets.

is not an award for which player is most valuable to his respective team.
