81 is a huge number no matter who it is. It's not like the Raptors are some high school squad. They are an NBA team. No player in the NBA sucks. As good as others? Perhaps not, but none of them, and mean none of them suck.
I dont buy into any Kobe hype. He's shown us he can win championships swinging in Shaq's nuts, but he's yet to prove to anyone he's a winner.

First no one can not say, wow, amazing, great that is just incredible.
Well there are a few things. First of all the 76ers and Lakers have the same problem, it is basically a one man show. If Iverson or Kobe do not show up the game is lost.
As far as MVP goes, he is not that, he does not increase the quality of team play, rather becomes the main scorer for the game. I still think Nash should remain as MVP for this year (if I was to judge to date). Kobe has still had arguements with people on his team, and still has ego issues. But you have to give him his credit he leads the league in scoring, and last night was incredible.
Also to those who talk about not having a ring, there are a ton of players who never got a ring. My favorite of those is Dan Marino (ok different sport, similiar concept).
