Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant won his first Most Valuable Player (MVP) award from the NBA on Wednesday during a basketball match against the Utah Jazz.

Kobe's daughters Natalia and Gianna were at hand to congratulate their father as well as his wife Vanessa.

Kobe's family even wore his jersey number in celebration which I found to be very thoughtful.

Anyhow, check out what Kobe had to say about his first MVP:

“I really don’t know what to say to be honest with you. It’s a blessing and such an honor to be here. To receive this award, I can go through a list of thank you’s. My family, they enabled me to be the best I can be.., training everyday and they give up so much to sacrifice for me to be able to train and prepare for games and I’m just very honored and blessed to be here.” Bryant said.
