Kobe WAS the Lakers too in the 4th quarter. That's all he needed to be. Just because you're on a team with a bunch of awesome players doesn't mean you aren't the best there is.
There is a reason why KG got the MVP - because he WAS the most valuable player to his team. The Lakers, however, had enough good players that the best player in the league needed not be the most valuable. Catch what I'm saying here?
You're arguing for the MVP, which I am in agreement. However, when it comes to skill vs skill, instinct vs instinct, clutch vs clutch - Kobe is the reason why the Lakers are where they are.
