First-Time MPV Winner
Kobe was named the All-Star MVP for the first time in 2002. He won the title again in 2007, 2009, and 2011. He was still relatively young when he was given the honor the first time, and eventually, through the 2000s, he became a habitual winner. He's been called an all-around sportsman, both on and off the court, and rightfully earned the MVP status each time.
