Kobe Bryant Gets His MVP Honor!

The day has come: one that Lakers’ superstar Kobe Bryant has been waiting for.  Tuesday night Bryant was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.  Bryant, who is 29 years old, is now the fourth member of the Lakers named MVP.  Other recipients include: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin (Magic) Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal.  Bryant was very graceful in receiving the top honor, saying, “This is an award I could not have won on my own.  I cannot thank these guys [teammates] enough.  These are my guys, these are my brothers.”

Bryant has helped the Los Lakers tremendously this season bringing them to the top of the Western Conference, sweeping the Denver Nuggets in the first round of playoffs and they most recently secured a victory against the Utah Jazz in Game 1 of their Western Conference Semifinal, with a 109-98 win.  Kobe Bryant is no doubt a talented player, who many think rightfully deserves this impressive honor.  We’ll see how much more he can contribute to the Lakers in the coming weeks.  Get your pair of Los Angeles Lakers tickets today!
