it's a celebration bitches!!!

Kobe Bean Bryant has officially been named MVP, and holy shit I think every internal organ in my body has exploded!!!

I've been sitting on this for a while but decided not to blog about it until it was official official. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news: me and my brothers were just getting in the car after the Kanye concert (which was balls to the wall the shit, N*E*R*D blew the fuckin doors off that thing) and my brother returned a missed call from my mom and she told us. Pure euphoria. I'll never forget the phosphorescent glow that emitted from my shiny little heart.

The Lakers are holding a press conference tomorrow, and he's getting the award before the game Wednesday. It's been over a decade and now my dream has come true. The GOAT!!!!

i'm gonna cry!!!

writers poll says kobe's got this!!!

since kobe's rookie year, i've been a ridiculously passionate supporter of this guy. i remember back when he was merely a bald headed do-gooder who spoke 4 languages and just got out of high school. and through thick and thin, the colorado thing, the shaq trade, the year they missed the playoffs, all the talk of dwaye whatever-his-name is, my fandomness has yet to falter. second to only a ring without kazaam, kobe winning his first mvp was perhaps the number one thing in sports i had to see happen. how could a guy who has been without question the most talented and skilled player in the game not have one of these things? the chick from the carpenters has 2!

regardless, it finally appears that his day has come. and the fact that it's happening to this guy, after all he's been through as a player, and after all the abuse i've taken as a loyal and stubborn fan, who takes this shit personally, makes it that much sweeter.

to paraphrase the great s. corey carter, "men lie, women lie, numbers don't," and neither does the record of one kobe bean bryant. yes!!!
