All-Star Game MVP

Just wanted some thoughts on the MVP odds for tonight. I got Kobe at 3-1 a few days ago. I see he's down to about 8-5 most places. I think unless he falls on his face they'll probably give it to him. You guys have any thoughts on this?

I keep reading about how banged up Kobe is, and watching him play throughout the season, even when he has a good game, there are limits to how many minutes at a time that he can sustain a high level of play. It's like he might make 3 three-pointers in a row, at which point he needs to rest a few minutes before he can make any more shots.
5Dimes has the bet for Kobe not winning MVP at -170, and I am mulling that one over...
It seems like the West would just run away with this game because everybody except Kobe is a scoring machine. But if Kobe is putting up a lot of shots, there are going to be a lot of misses as well, and this might allow the East to stay in the game. So I keep pulling myself back from betting the West at -5.5...
I believe when MJ didnt win MVP his team (east) lost the game. The west favorites to win this one. I cannot imagine Popovich who seems to have a deep respect for Kobe not play him a lot of mins in the 2nd half. What does Kobe need to save his legs for?
Kobe isn't going to say "I want to play a lot of minutes" in the media, but we all know he does.

If you can find some plus money on it, I think it's a great bet.

Look at the date, he wrote that last year
"Written last year. Still applicable today".
'He'll play as many minutes as he'd like to play, I'm not going to hold him back'
