I've heard the lame excuse that Kobe had Shaq at his prime...LMAO! ...Wow!..Well lets see, here's a list of GREAT players who won Finals MVP playing with another great player.
1. Jerry West 1969 Finals MVP playing with Wilt.
2. Wilt Chamberlain 1972 Finals MVP playing with West
3. Magic Johnson 1980, 1982, 1987 Finals MVP playing with Kareem

5. James Worthy 1988 Finals MVP playing with Magic & Kareem..lol.
6. Cedric Maxwell 1981 Finals MVP playing with Larry Bird

Kobe playing with Shaq is no excuse for Kobe not getting a Finals MVP. The only excuse that Kobe Bryant has is that he sucks! Those other guys won it with great players!

The reason is simple: Kobe is a great offensive player, he can score. When it comes to defense, he's not that good of a defenser. But more than that, when it comes to playing as a team and having sportsmanship, Bryant is not good in it.
Shaq, on his side, is a good player, offensive and defensive (he can rebound, block and score) and a really good team mate!
That's the only reason I know of

JDW here we go again! Why are you soo obssesed with Kobe?? We all know you hate him! Anyway, here's the answer:
Shaq was finals MVP for all three years that the Lakers won because he was going up against an OLD and injured Rick Smits and he just had his way with him! Second he went against Dikembe Mutombo who is a GREAT defender and was really good in his prime but not against Shaq and his elbows! Third he went against the WHOLE nets front line a bunch of nobodies! You have to remember that back then all of the big men were in the WEST so when the Lakers made it to the finals there was no one to stop him. DURING the playoffs however Kobe was by far the MVP of the team every year. He hit the clutch shots and picked up the slack when Shaq struggled again Duncan, Robinson, Wallace (when he was with portland), and even DIvac! Divac gave Shaq lots of trouble! so yeah Kobe does not suck but i don't really need to defend him im sure you have eyes and can clearly see him time and time again prove that when it's all said and done he will be one of the greatest players to EVER play the game! But again i ask why the obsession with Kobe?? all you ever do is ask and answer questions that have to do with Kobe! GET A LIFE!
