Well deserved!

KG and Kobe tied for getting the most points for their respective positions. Out of the 29 other coaches in the NBA (Phil isn't allowed to vote for Kobe), 24 voted for Kobe as tops, 4 voted him as second, and Isiah Thomas voted for Nate Robinson.

This distinction means a bit more to me than the MVP voting, since the coaches vote, rather than the media.

That's Kobe's 8th defensive team in his career. He's going to have a good shot to finish in the top 3-4 ever when his career is done.

On a side note, Duncan tied Bobby Jones and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most all d teams ever this season with his 12th selection.

All NBA 1st
All D 1st
1st seed

Quite the season Kobe is having thus far. Hopefully his injury isn't going to limit how long we get in the playoffs.
