Bryant has expressed retirement possibility after 2 more seasons. Everyone knows Bryant was robbed of one for sure and maybe two MVPs back in 05 and 06. This is going to be interesting. While Lebron is certainly the favorite, I think Bryant at these odds is ridiculous for a guy that led the league in scoring for 95% of the season last year.
It's going to get a lot easier for Bryant this year with these new weapons and honestly I only see his stats getting better, especially his shooting percentage. I think he'll aim for the 50 40 90 club this year and will still average over 25 5 and 5.
I don't see the NBA allowing Bryant to retire with 1 MVP. It doesn't make any sense. This is the best futures bet you will find for a guy that will be in the top 3 discussion at the end of the year.
Bryant +1000 for MVP Risk $100
