Any value in Kobe to win the scoring title at 10-1?

I wouldn't want to tie up a lot of money on a prop like "who will win the scoring title", but I think there is value in Kobe at 10-1. Shaq has stated publicly that he wants to help Kobe win the MVP. I take this to mean that Kobe will be given the ball more to go one-on-one rather than dump the ball in to Shaq. I also think teams will constantly double team Shaq, even without the ball sometimes, due to the new rules. Last year Kobe finished 4th, 2.6 ppg behind Iverson. Shaq was one of the players ahead of him, with Stackhouse being the other. I would still consider Iverson the favorite, but at 10-1, Kobe seems worth it to me. Any opinions?
