No one here would ever consider Chauncey Billups an MVP had Kobe not granted him his 1st. Kevin Garnett would be a crybaby story had Kobe not granted him and Paul Pierce their firsts. These were both done while Kobe had the most stacked team in league history, all because he raped and froze out the best center of all time.
Meanwhile Tim wasn't even in the game during that 6th, and the series wasn't even decided until the 7th.
It's your narrative Dale, you just hate it that others won't buy into it.
