Kobe Bryant is the starting shooting guard of the Los Angeles Lakers. Born August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia. Also grew up in Italy where his favorite sport was soccer. He has said if he didnt go pro in basketball, he would have gone pro in soccer. He is one of the hardest working players in the NBA and is ragged on for being a ball hog, when he has the numbers
(pts, asts, rebs) to prove everyone wrong. Recently won a championship with LA in 2009 and his lakers are looking to tie boston for the most rings of all time. Well known for his 81 pt performance (2nd most all time).

Kobe Bryant is a gentleman who has shown grace and style. Yes, he made a mistake once and paid dearly. He always return to the neighborhood where he grew up and gives generously to his high school (LMHS). He was a great kid growing up in lower merion and kind to all he came in contact with. He was not responsible for Shaq leaving the Lakers but he bore the responsibility because it made for good press. Kobe is married and has two daughters. He led the basketball team to victory of a gold medal during the 2008 basketball olympics

Although he is aging and may no longer be the best player in the game as of 2010, KB24 is the closest player in skill to MJ, if not better. He has 5 championship rings.

The Next Michle Jordan
Despite what people say, he is not a ball hog, cuz if you call Kobe a ball hog, your calling MJ a ball hog, and MJ is no ball hog. Kobe actually does average 5 assists a game, and will do best for his team. He's a deadly 3-Point Shooter and the best player currently at driving and dunking the basket
Kobe Currently has taken the Los Angeles Lakers team, Who has lost Shaq and Karl Malone, to the playoffs. The 2006 Lakers team where counted out to be the worst team in all the NBA next to the Bobcats, Knicks, and Jazz. The players were Lamar Odem, who only averaged 14 points a game, Smush Parker, an undrafted rookie, Luke Walton, a rookie, Kwame Brown, who has been plaing for 3 years, and Brian Cook, another rookie. Yet, despite the bad team around him, the Lakers made it to the playoffs due to Kobe's 35 Points a game, 5 assists a game, 5 rebounds a game, and strong defensive plays, most of them being steals. So to you Kobe haters: HAH!
In the playoffs, the Lakers Chocked, as Phil Jackson said to Kobe, "Pass the ball more" and as a result, Kobe got 26 Points a game and the lakers lost 4-3 to the suns in the playoffs
