Who would you vote for best NBA player in the ESPYS 2008?

After a tumoulous summer, Kobe Bryant managed to take his team all the way to the Finals. (With istance from Pau). Yet this season he got through several hurdles and even managed to play through his surgery required pinkie to deliver his best, besides the finals. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Paul managed to win becuase this young star has helped carry an aging, underdeveloped team based in an ignored town and turn it completely around. His humble personality and incredible plays have captured fans and turned New Orleans into a center of spotlight. The Hornets look to be a regular playoff contender in the future. This season, I believe the award should go to Kobe though, because of his dedication and effort given this season as well in the past.
