It's no secret that Kobe Bryant is the best scoring guard since Jordan. His career lasted for 20 years, with an 18-year-old high school student making his immature debut and a 37-year-old superstar making a perfect curtain call. In Kobe's career, there have been many great moments, the glory of the OK combination of three consecutive championships, the domineering spirit of 81 points in a single game, and his strength is very strong.

He has been selected to the All-Star team 11 times, which is enough to prove how long-lasting Kobe Bryant's peak period is. However, it is as strong as Kobe, but he has only won 1 MVP, and he has lost to the top three 4 times, so who did he lose to? 09 led the team to 65 wins is the most regrettable.

The first time Kobe Bryant broke into the top three in MVP was in the 02-03 season. At that time, the OK combination had just completed three consecutive championships, and Kobe Bryant had also become a supergiant on the same level as O'Neal. At that time, he cut down the overall statistics of 30 points, rebounds and assists, and the Lakers finished third in the West with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

In terms of individual performance, he stands out more than a shark. At that time, he ranked third in MVP votes, losing to Duncan and Garnett, when Duncan led the team to the first record in the league, and the average of 23+13+3 per game was not inferior to Kobe.

In the 06-07 season, the peak Kobe Bryant led the team single-core, and after O'Neal left, the Lakers struggled very much. In 07, Kobe Bryant's performance was very good, he cut the overall data of average rebounds and assists per game, was elected the league's scoring champion, and was also selected for a team + one defense, and his performance was comprehensive. However, the Lakers' record of 42-40 is only ranked 7th in the West, and this time he lost to Nowitzki and Nash, when the driver hit 25+9+3 data, leading the team to 67-15, and there was almost no suspense in getting the MVP.

In '08, he won the MVP trophy, and in '09, he had a good chance of winning the championship. At that time, Kobe Bryant was the top player in the league, averaging gorgeous statistics of points, rebounds and assists per game, and he led the Lakers to a 65-17 record in the West. His individual performance and team results were excellent, but he unfortunately met the peak James.

Single-core led the Cavaliers to a 66-16 record, averaging rebounds and assists per game, and the data and record were both superior to Kobe, and finally won the cup strongly.

By the 09-10 season, Bryant and the Lakers were still in their prime. He averaged 27 points, rebounds and 5 assists per game, and under his leadership, the Lakers ranked first in the West with a 57-25 record. This time, he ranked behind James and Durant in MVP, and James averaged rebounds and assists per game, leading the Cavaliers to a 61-21 record in the league.

As in '09, Kobe Bryant was pressed a little bit in all aspects, and Kobe Bryant once again missed the MVP trophy.

Throughout Kobe's 20-year career, only 08 won the MVP trophy, in addition to ranking 2nd in 09, and ranking 3rd in 03, 07 and 10, he certainly has the strength to win the MVP trophy many times, but there are many great opponents of the same era, and Kobe Bryant is not unjust.

Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and Celtics legend Bob Pettit. Both have won 4 All-Star MVPs, with Kobe Bryant winning All-Star MVPs in 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2011, and Petit winning All-Star MVPs in 1956, 1958, 1959, and 1962.

It is worth mentioning that Petit is also the first player in NBA history to win back-to-back All-Star MVP, he has won All-Star MVP twice in 1958 and 1959, and the second player in history to win back-to-back All-Star MVP is Russell Westbrook.

He was awarded the All-Star MVP in 2015 and 2016, scoring at least 40 points in both games, and becoming the first player in All-Star history to score at least 40 points as an All-Star in two consecutive years.
