For the second time in a row. 29.1 ppg, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assist, 44.5% for three,...83 points against Charlotte... Could it be otherwise? Kobe came into the small circle of Mvp winners in old age: 33 (34 in a few months...), like Kareem Abdul Jabbar in 1980. Only Karl Malone (Mvp at 36) and Michael Jordan (35) have done better.
But now KB24 must dispel a taboo, a sword of Damocles hanging over him. Bryant has never won an NBA title when he was elected Most Valuable Player: it happens in 2008 (defeated in the NBA Finals against Celtics) and in the last year (eliminated in the Western Conference Finals vs Portland).
