Kobe Bryant was MVP worthy in 2002-2003, 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
But the voters gave it to Tim Duncan, Steve Nash back to back and Dirk Nowitzki.
Looking back I felt he was robbed of at least two or three of those MVP awards.
In fact, I truly believe Kobe was the most dominant player in the league at that time.
But he didn't win many more NBA Titles because the Lakers traded Shaq in July of 2004.
I thought the Lakers had some terrible teams in the few years after they traded Shaq but Kobe kept them respectable and playoff caliber.
It's a shame some of Kobe's best years were inbetween the Shaq and Pau teams when the Lakers had the likes of Luke Walton and Kwame Brown starting, would had more MVPs for sure if they were a contending team.
