Lakers Championship Tribute

Kobe's Circus Shot

Bryant expected to be named MVP at Tuesday press conference

Press Conference is scheduled at 2:30PM PST, watch it at ESPNews.

ESPN: The NBA has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday at a Los Angeles hotel, where Kobe Bryant is expected to be announced as winner of his first Most Valuable Player award.

Neither NBA spokesman Mark Broussard nor the Lakers would discuss the subject of the news conference, although the league did refer to it as an NBA Awards Announcement.

The Los Angeles Times reported last Friday that the 29-year-old Bryant had won the award. League spokesman Brian McIntyre refused to confirm or deny the report on Saturday.

“I didn’t know if it was going to come in my career, but to have the moment come now is special, especially to share it with the group of guys we have here,” Bryant told reporters Saturday. “We talked about [how] winning this MVP is extremely special because that means I’m doing good. I’m making my teammates better, putting them in a position to win.”

Bryant is expected to receive the MVP trophy Wednesday night from commissioner David Stern before the Lakers face the Utah Jazz in Game 2 of their best-of-seven second-round playoff series. The Lakers won the opener 109-98 on Sunday.
