LeBron clearly deserved it, and we all knew he was going to win it.

Nice to see Kobe edge out Wade for 2nd though.

I didn't realize it's now called the "Kia MVP award." I know sponsors are important and all.....but that just cheapens the game. Tacky, IMO.

No biggie.........that wasn't Kobe's focus anyway, the championship trophy is what he's seeking. Wasn't like it was a secret, they should've just gave it to him right when the playoffs started.

lol Kia wishes, but he donated to some akron charity.

good to see kobe got more votes than wade, at least they are being consistent with one thing in the NBA

good job kobe. I know lebron was surely going to get it considering the press he was getting plus how he's been playing. But to see Kobe edge wade was sweet cuz everyone for some reason was saying LBJ, Wade, then Kobe...

Go Kobe!

This marks the 7th time in the last 8 years that Kobe has been in the top 5 in MVP voting. Pretty nice.
