I am not biased in that regards. My main team, the Mavs got sent fishing early. Dwight finished fourth in overall voting (a far fourth, but still in the running). I personally think the NBA and it's sponsors have a puppy love relationship with James and Bryant. They so badly want to see a Lakers vs Cavs championship, they drool at every playoff game talking about it.

I am not taking anything away from Lebron nor Kobe. But if we look at Lebron, his team made some pretty big changes this season and those changes more or less bought them the top place in the NBA. The Lakers did the same according to the NBA salaries and caps.

Dwight sucks at FT's, I get that. But his other stats and contribution to his team go far beyond that of leading scorer on the team. Tell me one other guy besides Shaq (who consequently plays on the Cavs), when they get the ball in the paint you have to foul them or they get the point?
