Kobe Bryant Voted NBA MVP
The LA Times has announced that Lakers star Kobe Bryant has been voted the NBA’s MVP.
It took 12 seasons, but Kobe Bryant has finally been selected the NBA’s most valuable player. And a much deserved MVP at that.
LA Times reported that sources familiar with the outcome who were not authorized to speak publicly about the award until the official announcement from the league said Commissioner David Stern will be in Los Angeles next week to present the trophy to Bryant.
Bryant averaged 28.3 points per game during the 2007-08 season, but his defense was notably better and he averaged 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.
Bryant is the fourth Laker to win the MVP award. Shaquille O’Neal won in 2000, Magic Johnson won three times, the last in 1990, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the MVP three times as a Laker, the last time in 1980.
Congrats to Kobe on this much deserved MVP!
