Kobe Bryant – NBA Player of the Decade

After the 2010 NBA All Star Game is the announcement of the NBA Player of the Decade 2000-2009. The NBA Player of the decade is one category of  TNT All Decade recognition and with that the fans get to vote the player they tought is the best during the decade from 2000-2009.

It was quite interesting that the NBA let the fans vote for this category but they really should. The NBA Player of the Decade was just won by who else? Kobe Bryant! I think no one could ever question that, the fans voted it right! Altough some thought that Tim Duncan should have won the recognition and others may say that Shaquille O’neal could have won. But I think not.

Yeah right, Shaq is the most dominant player during the decade but he couldn’t won a championship without the help of Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade who by the way won the 2010 NBA All Star Game MVP. Same thing with Tim Duncan, Timmy is one of the most talented Big Man of all time, no question about that but I think the fans voted for the player that made the most impact and they think really deserves it. Lebron James didn’t got the award because he just played for several years in the NBA.

Kobe Bryant was named NBA Player of the Decade from 2000-2009 and garnered a whopping 54% of the total votes via online at NBA.com. Kobe for my opinion is really the best among the best players in NBA and not because I idolize him personally.

Just imagine this, Kobe Bryant with 25,000 career points, four championship rings, countless game winning buzzer beaters, 40 plus points games, 50 plus points games, several All Star Game MVP, one-time regular season MVP and the most memorable of the decade, scored 81 points in a game. What more can you ask for?

Kobe Bryant the NBA Player of the Decade from 2000-2009 and top others including Lebron James in second with 17% of total votes, Shaquille O’neal with 13%, Tim Duncan with 8%, Steve Nash with 5% and Kevin Garnett with 3%.
