Totally deserved it.
For one thing, he is a very good defender (which is why I always thought he should have gotten over Nash).
He makes his teammates better.
He is just an incredible basketball player.
Best choice.

finally....it has been a long time coming for him. he is an amazing player.
Well-deserved. Kobe is the best player in the Association. This was a long time coming.
Congrats to Kobe finally getting it. It's a shame Utah will spoil the party, but it's still better than getting it in a press conference, right?
Congrats to Kobe. He's an incredible player, he and the Lakers have had a great season.![]()
back handed compliment. way to ruin a thread.
i am happy for him... he showed this season that he is classier than average and hand an unforgettable basketball run with the Flakers this season!
Kobe is expected to be a great player year after year. This year he won it because all the other years he didn´t get it ? sorry i´m not buying it. This year he had an emerging star Bynum, He also received Pau Gasol.
This should´ve gone to Chris Paul, Nobody thought his team would be in the 2nd round of the playoffs, and his team has maintained the #1 seed the majority of the season. He makes his team better by dishing out those assists, getting those steals, and when he has a chance, he´s known to score a lot too.
CP was robbed, without him Hornets would be in the lottery.
He's my favorite non-Spur in the league.
Greatest player on the planet right now.
Great player but he didn't deserve the MVP this season. Did Garnett recieve more 1st place votes than Paul? if that's true this ballot's a joke
How about that, Chris Paul? Idiot. You're not winning anything. Prepared to be swept by an average of 15 points by the Spurs.
Man, it's Kobe Bryant. You really can't go wrong giving the man an MVP.
Gratz Kobe. Definately the right choice. Best player on the #1 seed team in the west.
Chris Paul deserved it more. He has done more with less talent then Kobe.
Kobe had less talent in 2006 and it was used against him.
It was either between KB24 and CP3, both are deserving.
Kobe'd have won it in 06 but not this year
CP3 had less talent than Kobe on his team? You gotta be kidding me. CP3, David West, Peja and Chandler are All-Star talent. That's the best starting 4 in the West just like the Pistons.
Before Gasol came to the Lakers in February, the Kobe had 0 All Star players on the team.
CP3 is good but he had the #2 seed, should have gotten #1 if he wanted to be #1. Simple as that.
It will be great to see the Lakers lose Game 1 after KB24 MVP presentation.
Peja missed 69 games last year. David West missed 30 games last year. The Hornets still won 39 games. People act like the Lakers added Gasol and the Hornets are the same exact team as last year. The Hornets improved their roster too, but it was just from injuries. This season between Kobe and Chris Paul, only David West was an all star teammate of either.
Kobe absolutely deserved it this year. Chris Paul was deserving as well, but he wasn't more deserving. It was a toss-up between the two, and Kobe was a perfectly acceptable choice.
so would the lakers without kobe
