It has taken awhile for Kobe Bryant to mature into the team player of today and his MVP is richly deserved. The NBA's All time leading points scorer echoes similar sentiments in his endorsement. I'm hoping Kobe, ably supported by Pau Gasol, will lead the LA Lakers to the NBA finals and garner a championship ring to go with his MVP statuette. For a player who has been synonymous with the word selfish, it was nice of him to acknowledge the part played by his teammates while accepting his award.
And it was good to see Kobe invoke the spirit of the MVP award to overturn a 20 point deficit against the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Kobe, unlike LeBron James and Diego Armando Maradona has difficulty lifting his team mates to his level, but now even that no longer seems to be a problem for da MVP. Kobe to propel the LA Lakers to the NBA Championship finals where he will guide them to the NBA Championship crown and be named MVP of the finals - who needs Shaq!!
The NBA Championship final will be between the LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics.
