Kobe Bryant's time with the Los Angeles Lakers may be over, but he is still a borderline revered figure in most of Southern California. It appears that reverence even extends to "the Happiest Place on Earth," because Bryant was serenaded with "M-V-P" chants at Disneyland today:

Most people feel special when they go to Disneyland, but having fans chant that you are the most valuable player ever at the theme park must be something else. I, for one, look forward to more videos like this popping up for the rest of Bryant's life. Where else can we get some videos of Kobe getting "MVP" chants? The grocery store? The gas station? The possibilities are endless, but it would seem most Lakers fans aren't going to stop showing Bryant their appreciation for his 20-year career any time soon.
