Kobe Bryant: All that?

So we all know that Kobe Bryant is MVP. Do you think he really deserves it? Since he joined the Lakers, the Lakers has been smooth sailing on the basketball courts. And of course, America had to have our MVP play in the Olympics. With having the best group of basketball players play against the other countries, that turned out to be a success as well! You would think that Kobe is proud of his 81 points he scored in one game, but really he was actually embarrassed. Who would have thought. People say that he's cocky and he's conceited. And I believe he has every right to be! But he isn't, not full on cocky but he knows how hard he worked to get where he's at today. You think about how Kobe started his NBA career right out of high school, and he has done so much since then.

He is trying to lead the Lakers to a successful season, and ultimately, a good showing in the NBA playoffs. Bryant leads the NBA in scoring, averaging 35.7 points per game. In January, with his 81 point game, he averaged 43.4 points per game. He joined Chamberlain again in the record books as the only other player to average over 40 points per game in a single month. He says winning is the most important thing for the Lakers.

"The concept is not about going out there and putting on a show or going out there and scoring points," he said. "It-s to win games. I-d much rather go out and score 25 points and get 10 assists and see everybody in a rhythm, everybody in a groove." About Chamberlain-s mark Bryant said, "I don-t even think about it. That-s unthinkable. It was done once by Wilt, and I-m not Wilt."
