Sorry, but Odom was Laker's MVP last previous years. Looking back at the win/loss records from previous years, Lakers win more when Kobe's injured than when Odom's injured. He's like the unsung hero, the glue that puts the triangle offense together. Gasol is basically an upgrade of Odom. Seriously, look at the stats, similar numbers across the board. Odom deferred to Gasol, which explains his lower stats this year, but career wise, very same players.
You're right that Gasol was the Lakers MVP this year. But take away those two players, and Lakers are back at square one. One ball hog who believed that his teams success rode on his shoulders each game. I find it illogical when your "best" player needs to play sub-optimally (score less, do less) in order for you team to be at its best. Not saying that they are better without him, but they play better when he does less. Therefore, Kobe isn't the Lakers best player. Take your pick of either two big men (three if you count Bynum).
