Theres no questioning the fact that Kobe Bryant - one of the LA Lakers biggest success stories, is one of the greats of the game. With an interview with 'Insider Magazine', Kobe spewed his opinions on this year MVP award. James Harden (27.4 ppg) and Stephen Curry (23.8 ppg) where the points of interest, Michael Yo sat down with the former MVP to discuss.

"It's a tough call, you have James who has been playing consistent all through the season. Steph, who has been doing phenomenal things. That is a tough call for me but I would have to say James."

"James had to keep that team afloat. I think the team actually got better, when he went down. Which is hard to do. So I think with the responsibilities he had to deal with this season I’d vote James."

It isn't impossible that these two superpowers will take their respective teams to the Western Conference finals. Although Golden State certainly is a favourite to make the final, Harden has no problem in making his team a tough opponent.
