Report: Kobe earns first MVP

[Espiohti]

LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant has won the NBA's MVP award for the first time, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site Friday night, citing anonymous sources familiar with the outcome of voting by media members.

The newspaper reported that commissioner David Stern will be in Los Angeles next week to present the trophy to Bryant.

"We have not been told anything by the league," Lakers spokesman John Black told The Associated Press.

Bryant, who entered the season as the league's two-time defending scoring champion, had third in the MVP voting twice -- after the 2002-03 campaign, when he averaged 30 points for the first time, and again last season, when Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki won the award.

I dunno it's a close call.. I mean I like CP3... but Kobe deserved this one..

He got it over Chris Paul simply because of seniority in the league.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

It seems apparent you've never heard of this man named LeBron James who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I think he got it over Paul cuz he led his team to the #1 seed in the toughest conference in probably the history of the Nba.
