It's been a good week for the Black Mamba.

Kobe Bryant - who casually refers to himself as one of the world's most venomous snakes - wrapped his hands around his first NBA MVP trophy Wednesday night before taking care of the Utah Jazz 120-110.

Thursday, the accolades continued to pour in.

Bryant was voted to the All-NBA First Team for the third straight season and fifth time in his career. He was the lone unanimous selection.

Joining Bryant on the first team were New Orleans guard Chris Paul, who was three votes shy of being a unanimous pick, along with Boston's Kevin Garnett, Cleveland's LeBron James and Orlando center Dwight Howard.

Garnett was a first-team pick for the fourth time and James made his second appearance. Paul and Howard were first-timers.

Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash of Phoenix were voted to the second team along with San Antonio's Tim Duncan, Utah guard Deron Williams and Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki. The third team consisted of Houston's Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, plus Utah's Carlos Boozer, Boston's Paul Pierce and the Spurs' Manu Ginobili, the league's top sixth man.

Good to hear that this is finally happening for him. I think he's been pretty patient waiting for this to finally happen for him. Good for him, I'm glad to hear it.
