As we all know Kobe kept saying that this award was not a individual award, but a "team" award instead and thanks all of his teammates for all their contributions. At the press conference all of Kobe's teammates were present and Luke Walton asked a question referring to how Kobe said that it was a team award and whether or not he was going to get his teammates gifts jokingly, with Bryant responding with a laugh and a yes.
Well, what Im getting at is that last night the Laker players all joined together at a restaurant to (once again) watch a game that would determine their opponent in the Western Conference Finals and at this gathering Kobe was reported to have given each of his teammates a personally engraved Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph watch from Switzerland; which retails at $9,000 apiece.
Here are some pictures from that night...
