This season, the Suns can continue to improve on the basis of last season. They finished second in the league last season, behind the Jazz, but reached the Finals and lost to the Bucks. Paul was the biggest favourite in FMVP when he was leading in the first two games, when the Suns were big by the score. This season, the Suns are fiercer, directly to the first place in the league. However, the two stars on the team were not welcomed, and they lost the All-Star start, mainly due to the loss of position. Defender position, Curry is second in popularity, and Morant is the new face. The Western Guard was fiercely competitive, and in the runcourt, Davis, Leonard, George and Zion were injured, so much so that Wiggins became an All-Star starter.

If you compare Paul and Booker, Paul is more representative of the Suns competing for MVP. Last season, when the Suns were second in the league, Paul was discussed as an MVP, but in the end he did not enter the top three candidates. This season, the Suns are number one in the league, but Paul is still only discussed as MVP, and his ranking is not even in the top five. Of course, after Durant was injured and Curry has performed averagely in the past two months, James has suffered a loss from the Lakers' poor record, and Jokic and Embiid's teams are also not so well ranked. Paul could still be in the top five.

Now Paul, if he wants to compete for MVP, still has to look at the faces of his peers. But more than a decade ago, in 2008, paul, who was only in the third grade, nearly replaced Rose, first becoming the youngest regular season MVP in history. Paul led the Hornets to 56 wins and 26 losses, the best record in team history, he averaged 21.1 points, 4 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game. However, he lost to Kobe Bryant, who led the Lakers to 57 wins and 25 losses, 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.

The outside world still believes that Paul is the real MVP in 2008, and Bryant's MVP in 2008 should be Paul's. This MVP allows Kobe to enter the top ten of history, otherwise Kobe May even face the dilemma of not having an MVP in his career. As a player second only to Jordan and James in the fan base, if Kobe does not have an MVP, then the loss to his image and value is really quite serious.

Comparing kobe bryant to replace himself with the 2008 MVP, according to a Report on Feb. 7, Paul himself talked about it. Paul said on the show: "I thought I could get the 2008 MVP, and really, I really thought I was the 2008 MVP. I averaged 23 points and 11 assists per game that season, and was the NBA's king of assists and steals. Such data does have dry goods, the Hornets also rank second in the West, Paul is only in the third grade, and if it is MVP, it will be a very great achievement. Just like in 2011, When Rose challenged first man James, paul failed.

Why did it fail? Paul's reason: The league values scoring. Paul put it this way: What about this alliance? I just like to watch and score! If you can score points, then you may get an MVP. I thought at the time, if I didn't have that MVP, I would have it next time. But not the next time, Paul still doesn't have an MVP.
