So he has 2 good games out of four. See how hes 33% in the other two? How could he be the MVP of the series if he aint even the MVP of his team? Look at Lamar's number:

If you have been watching the game, the inside game of Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown, and Luke Walton have been the KEY to the lakers success. Not only are they outrebounding the Suns, theyre nulling all the Sun's big guys (Diaw, Marion, Thomas) on the inside. Their scheme is to get those three inside guys to stop the Suns running game, and pound the board (if you need me to explain their gameplan, just ask). Now, does Kobe rebound well? No. Has he taken Marion out of the equation? No. Has he played like this in all the games? No. Lamar has done ALL THAT, and more. Think Kobe's making Kwame and Luke better? HAHAHAHAHA. Guess who is.....L-O!
Do numbers tell everything? No. Have you seen how Kobe is being the floor general out there? Do you see all the double teams thrown at Kobe? These double teams freeing up other players, and with proper spacing from the triangle creating shot opportunities for others. It's no coincidence that Kobe has been the facilitator on 3 championship teams. Do you see how the Lakers get away from the gameplan when Kobe is not on the floor? Kobe does rebound well, he had 10 rebounds in game 2. He picks the Lakers up when they are down. More than anything Kobe has shown that he can play a team game. Not taking anything away from Lamar, he is simply abusing Marion on both defense and offense, but Kobe is simply leading this team to wins.
