Has Kobe ever won the MVP in the regular season?

I do. On May 6th, 2008, it was officially announced that Kobe won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for the first time in his career. In addition to winning the MVP award, on May 8, Kobe Bryant was the only player who was unanimously selected for the NBA's best team, which was the third consecutive year that he was selected for the first team and the sixth time in his career. After that, he and kevin garnett led the first lineup of the best defensive team in the NBA. Bryant scored 52 points, including 24 first-place votes, which was his eighth choice.
