Alright, so today I was digging into some NBA history, specifically about Kobe Bryant. I wanted to know exactly how many MVP awards he snagged during his career. It’s one of those things you kinda think you know, but then you second-guess yourself.

My Research Process
First, I jumped on a search engine. I kept my search terms pretty simple, things like “Kobe Bryant MVP awards” and “how many mvps does kobe have”. The goal was to get a quick, definitive answer.
After scanning through a few search results, I started seeing the answer. It was pretty consistent across different websites, which is always a good sign.
What Did I Find Out?
So, here’s the * out, Kobe won:
- One regular season MVP award(in 2008).
- Two NBA Finals MVP awards (in 2009 and 2010).
Yep, just one regular season MVP, which honestly surprised me a little! I thought the number is more. But those two Finals MVPs? Those show how dominant he was when it really mattered – in the championship series.
I also found out that Kobe have Four All-Star MVP awards.

I confirmed this across a few different NBA history sites. It’s always good to double-check and make sure the info lines up.
That’s pretty much it! It was a quick search, but it cleared up my question and reminded me just how incredible Kobe was throughout his career.
