If Kobe had the supporting cast that Dirk and Nash have then LA would be right at the top.... Kobe has done as much if not more, than both, with less,,,,so i think it has to go to KOBE,,,,if not KOBE then Dirk,,,,,,Nash has won it the last 2 years and is considered one of the frontrunners this yr,,,,,ever wonder why? maybe because he has a great supporting cast!!! WHen it comes to Most Valuable to their team i think its Kobe because if you take away kobe then they would be one of the worst teams in the NBA, Dallas and Phoenix would still make the playoffs without Dirk and Nash
