And? He won't get mvp.
The Lakers blew out the Knicks 130-97, the crowd in New York was chanting "MVP" for Kobe.

*thinking about breaking laptop*
They also thought Larry Brown would be their salvation.
Most Viscious Padder?
he said he's embarrassed by his 81-pt outburst.
you think he's serious?
--------------------------------------------------
Kobe Bryant says he feels a little embarrassed by his 81-point effort, and that he is not trying to chase Wilt Chamberlain's mark of 100 points in a game, according to a Reuters report.
Bryant, who will lead the Lakers into Madison Square Garden to play the hapless Knicks on Tuesday night, continues to be hounded by questions after his scoring outburst.
"I'm a little bit embarrassed actually," Bryant said after a Lakers' practice Monday. "I think it's exciting for the game and the organization because of all the buzz, but personally it's a little embarrassing."
Bryant leads the NBA in scoring, averaging 35.9 points per game. And he says winning is the most important thing for the 23-20 Lakers.
"The concept is not about going out there and putting on a show or going out there and scoring points," he said. "It's to win games.
"I'd much rather go out and score 25 points and get 10 assists and see everybody in a rhythm, everybody in a groove."
Bryant's feat is second only to Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in game for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 1962 game — against the Knicks.
"I don't even think about it," Bryant said about Chamberlain's mark. "That's unthinkable. It was done once — by Wilt, and I'm not Wilt."
Kobe's at ude makes me sick; he's trying too hard to be loved, and it's transparent as . Still, he's the MVP in my eyes and he's proving to be a of a lot better than I ever thought he was.
26 free throw attempts? Are you sure they weren't chanting "Kill Javie"?

No it means Most Valuable Player (that raped some white girl and got away with it) since it's in parenthesis it's not apart of the acronymn. Man, those New Yorkers are really cold and unforgiving.
He should be the MVP.
Continued stroking of an otherwise "over-bloated" ego.
He's a self-absorbed punk and deserves to continue playing 1 on 5 basketball the rest of his career.
-takes a pooh on your head-
That self absorbed punk kicked your guys asses towards a threepeat. Spurs are second rate champs inheriting the leftovers the Lakers left them.
NY leads the league in FTA, and is decent (6th best) in FTA against.
Today Kobe had more FTA than the entire Knick squad.
40 points scored, with only 7 FGs made .. that could be a new record in itself
seriously the knicks are a disgraced same with the raptors. U dont let a scrub player like kome go off on yah and dont double or triple on him. Then the lame fans comes out chanting the opponent mvp, it means they really hate their team. i DONT REALLY CARE IF KOME GETS MVP COSE HIS ASS WILL BE SWEEP IN THE PLAYOFFS FIRST ROUND BY THE SPURS WEITHER WE FINISH 1ST OR 4TH THEY BE SEEING US IN THE FIRST ROUND. i can only see them either finish 5th or 8th.
tdmvpdpoy lol since when is kobe a scrub? wow now i can see why people react the way they do to u.
Most Violent Penetrator.
LOL @ calling Kobe a scrub. Why would they double or triple a "scrub" player? Pass that blunt you smoking on to somebody else playa
Kobe a scrub......
Everyone should stop hatin...Kobe is having a great year
if the Lakers can establish themselves in the playoffs,(I think there's a chance they make the 7th or 8th spot), definitely Kobe will be a one of the MVP candidates. He's a contender. He's the leader of the team now, he just made an All-Time scoring high 81pt performance and leads the league in the scoring with 36.7 pts/game this yr.
nobody just can't ignore that.
When Iverson/Tmac led in the scoring seasons ago they made the NBA 1st & 2nd/3rd teams. Why not Kobe?
Lakers will make the playoffs even if Kobe has to drag them there. I can understand why some may not like him but you HAVE to recognize that he is thest 2 guard in the league and a top 3 player overall. He should be a MVP candidate every year.
Far be it for facts to come into play here, but apparently, it was the remaining Lakers fans who were chanting for Kobe, not Knicks fans.
According to Chris Sheridan @ ESPN.com.
If Kobe takes his team to the playoffs along with winning the scoring le...he is def getting the MVP. He might get it anyway, just for the scoring le. Not that I am a Kobe fan...but...hate him or not, he is good.
Dominique Wilkins did that for about a decade and never got an MVP, nor should he have. If the criteria were that weak, AI would have about 5 or 6 by now.
