Kobe Bryant is OFFICIALLY this Season's NBA MVP!
Published 5/6/2008 by restrictedfreedom at LAKERS4LIFE
It is pretty ridiculous that we hear who wins the NBA's awards before they are officially announced, but at least Kobe Bryant still won the award after about a week of speculation and hundreds of different reports. In the past I have been pretty harsh on Kobe Bryant (although I am a HUGE fan) because of the constant comparisons to Michael Jordan (who is my favorite player All-Time) and the phrase "Best Ever" getting thrown around by people who either didn't get the pleasure of watching MJ or are just people that hopped on the Lakers bandwagon (and no nothing about basketball), but now I can say that MJ better look out because Kobe ...

In spite of my complaints yesterday, I found some fun stories today about sports that made me smile. Besides that, there is so much going on this week! May is a great sports month with NBA and NHL playoffs, the MLB season getting in full gear, and action sports are happening everywhere! The best story so far this week has to be that of high school freshman Gabby Sanchez. She pitches left-handed and beat out fifteen boys to make the cut on her varsity high school baseball team. Gabby has never played softball, but has played baseball since she was four years old. I’ve heard ...
Notizen zur MVP-Wahl Kobe Bryants [1:55 min]
Published 5/8/2008 by Paul Niemeyer (noreply@blogger.com) at NBA-Blog
- Endlich wieder ein MVP, über den ich mich freue! Endlich mal kein Schmuse-MVP. Endlich einer, der Effektivität nicht mit Genialität verwechselt (aka Tim Duncan). Einer, der umstritten war, aber auf den sich letztendlich alle einigen konnten. - Welchen Spieler wollen die meisten Rookies in ihrem Team haben, wenn sie in die NBA kommen? Kobe Bryant. So gesehen ist dies der jugendlichste MVP seit damals Allen Iverson. - Phil Jackson, immerhin jahrelang Coach Michael Jordans, sagt: I don't know anybody who's ever deserved this trophy more. I don't know anybody who's ever worked as hard to accomplish what he's accomplished. - Kobe wirkte nicht wirklich ...
