After all, the most important statistic in basketball games is leading the team to win, not how many points you score.
At the same time, Roger, who led the team to a thirteen-game opening streak, is one step closer to his goal of "I want to win MVP."
But the season is long, and KG and Kobe are still in the race.
They both have lost to Roger this season, but at least not as badly as Paul, who lost by 60 points, erasing all suspense.
When the Lakers took down James's former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, reclaiming the second spot in the West, a reporter at the press conference asked Kobe, "This season, will you focus on the DPOY you promised, or strive to win another MVP?"
Kobe countered, "Are you joking with me?"
"What?"
