It’s been a long time in coming. But finally, after more than a decade of sensational seasons, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant has finally won the illusive title of Most Valuable Player.
The Lakers star, who entered the league straight out of the Philadelphia area’s Lower Merion High School in 1996, has been a constant bright spot for the game. Since then, we’ve seen this boy grow into a powerhouse player right before the eyes of sports fans everywhere.
Arguably the best player in the world for several years, Bryant has been in the running annually but could never seem to acquire enough votes for the top spot.
