Despite his NBA career being officially over, Kobe Bryant is still receiving awards.

Spike TV announced that the Los Angeles Lakers legend will receive the first-ever “Athlete of the Decade” award on June 4th at the 10th Annual “Guys Choice” Awards. Bryant recently concluded a 20-year career that saw him finish third on the all-time scoring list.

Executive producer Casey Patterson had the following to say on why Bryant is deserving of the award:

“By any measure, Kobe Bryant is a sports legend who exemplifies athletic excellence, world class sportsmanship and stands as one of the greatest to have ever played the game. Guys Choice is thrilled to be honoring Kobe’s remarkable and now legendary 20 year career in basketball.”

This will be just another award to add to the glass case for Bryant. He also won an NBA MVP award, two Finals MVPs and a record four All-Star game MVPs during his playing career.

The awards ceremony will premiere on Spike TV on June 9th at 9 PM EST.
