Kobe Doesn't Get Enough Credit For 2000 (The Real MVP?)

The 2000-2002 Lakers were the last team to 3-peat and with the Nuggets failing to repeat this season that will likely still be the case for at least 2 more seasons

The best player on all 3 teams was Shaq, a 7'1 350 lbs force of nature playing the premier position in basketball, but not far behind was the best perimeter player in the association in a 21-23 years old Kobe.  Despite being years away from his own peak, Kobe was the 00-02 Lakers primary closer, primary playmaker, and primary tough shot maker.  Those attributes were especially needed in the most important games and toughest opponnets during the Lakers time on top

In the most important game of the 2000 season - and arguably all of 00-02 - it was not the near unanimous MVP that showed up and played his a game, it was the 21 years old "sidekick" who rose to the occassion and ensured that the Lakers became the last team to 3 peat
