Bryant, 29, is the fourth member of the Lakers named league MVP, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin (Magic) Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal.

“This is an award I could not have won on my own,” said Bryant, who finished third in 2002-03 and 2006-07 in voting by beat writers and broadcasters.

“I cannot thank these guys [teammates] enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.”

“I do not know anybody who has ever deserved this trophy more, who has worked as hard to accomplish what he has accomplished,” Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said.

Bryant averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 38.9 minutes in 82 starts this season, his 12th in the NBA.

He averaged a whopping 33.5 points as the Lakers swept the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, and scored 38 points in Sunday’s 109-98 victory over the Utah Jazz in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal.
