If Kobe never had to go through the Colorado Case and the media didn’t sour on him, how many MVPs do you think he would have won? Imo he would have 2-3 MVPS. Obviously he would still win in 2008, but I also think he had a really strong case in 2006, 2009 and 2010 and would have definitely ended up with more than 1 MVP
No Colorado didn’t affect his MVP case, what hurt him is that his team was terrible in his peak years when he was the best player in the league
