Why is Kobe called a scoring machine, but there is only one MVP?

Kobe has only one MVP in his career. The main reason is that the individual peak and the team peak do not coincide.

The selection of MVP depends not only on personal data, but also on the team record. In the early days of Kobe's career, there were historical players like O 'Neal among his teammates, and his inside dominance was unparalleled. So before 2004, Kobe had little chance to hit the MVP.

In 2005-2007, the sharks left and the Lakers faced reconstruction. At that time, Kobe was really short of a second player. Although he won the scoring championship for two years in a row and his personal data is impeccable, the Lakers' record just can't get on. Therefore, in the MVP competition, Kobe Bryant was naturally better than Nash and Nowitzki, who had better records and personal data at that time.

It was not until the 2007-2008 season that the lake talents saw the hope of revival. The arrival of Gasol directly made the Lakers a champion team. That season, Kobe averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 82 full attendance, leading the Lakers to a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, ranking first in the West, and Kobe naturally won the MVP. In the next two years, James ushered in his golden age. Kobe is over 30 years old at this time, and both the record and the data are slightly inferior to James at that time, so he failed to win the MVP again.

After that, Kobe Bryant, who suffered from injuries, was in a worse state than before, and naturally he was farther and farther away from MVP. In terms of Kobe's strength, there must be more than one MVP in his career, and sometimes it's really because of bad luck. Of course, Kobe's greatness cannot be denied just because he has only one MVP. Kobe is Kobe, definitely one of the greatest stars in history!
