Kobe Bryant: a Quick Guide To a Legend
He’s not known as The Black Mamba or the Lord of the Rings for nothing. Kobe Bryant is among
the most significant players to ever play American basketball, taking his team Los Angeles Lakers
to great heights and charting a career of unprecedented wins and new records. Here’s a quick
look at the life of the legend in the hard court.

Born in 1978 in Philadelphia, Bryant spent his childhood in Italy and joined the NBA right after
high school. He was chosen by the Charlotte Hornets as the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA
Draft, and was eventually traded to the LA Lakers.
He was always known for being a dominant score, winning five NBA championships and the 2008
MVP Award with the LA Lakers. His later seasons were marked by a number of injuries, but they
didn’t stop him from breaking records and demonstrating excellent play. In 1998, he was voted a
started for the All-Star Game, becoming the youngest All-Star in the league’s history at age 19.
His team-up with Shaquille O’Neal won the Lakers three consecutive championships.
On December 2007, Bryant created a record of being the youngest NBA player to reach 20,000
points. In the 2009-10 NBA season, he broke Jerry West’s record and became the all-time
leading scorer in the history of the Lakers. In December 2014, he surpassed Michael Jordan as
third place on the NBA all-time scoring list. His retirement in 2016 was highlighted by a 60-point
score in his final game.

Bryant received multi-year endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas and Sprite during his
basketball career. In 2018, he earned an Academy Award when Dear Basketball won Best
Animated Short Film. He married Vanessa Laine in 2009 and together they have two daughters,
Natalia and Gianna.
