Kobe Bryant is expected to be named league MVP today. His Lakers are one of the favorites to win the championship. Has he repaired his name? It is a tough question to answer, but I think that he is in the process of doing so. If he continues to not be a disturbance he certainly will repair it. It is clear that he is finally satisfied with the team around him and he probably deserved it in the first place. It now seems like ages ago when he was asking to be traded and was almost dealt to the Bulls, but in reality that was only a year ago. Bryant is becoming more of a team player, with less shots this year, but greater leadership. I think that a championship is certainly possible for his team this year (they are currently my pick from the west), and I also believe that in the long run Kobe’s good moments will overshadow his bad.
