well, Kobe is THE man! did you see this triple-double? 25 pts, 14 rebs, 10 ast. he will get player of the month honors for sure, and since he got his MVP award stolen last year, he's trying to get one. if he was playing half of what he is right now (33 PPG, 9,8 RPG and 7,6 APG last 6 games) the whole season he could get it.
