Kobe Bryant is one of the best players of all-time. He is known for his post-scoring ability and his post move is very deadly. In 1996, Kobe was drafted 16th by the Charlotte Hornets but then later traded to the L.A Lakers where he spent the rest of his career.

NBA drafts of 1996 was one of the best drafts because Sixers SG Allen Iverson and Suns PG Steve Nash are now considered as legends. A.I (Allen Iverson) is also a ball-hogger who played for the Pistons , Nuggets, Sixers, and the Grizzlies is a legend and a hall of famer last year. He is also a ankle breaker master. On the other hand PG Steve Nash is a great passer and is now a future hall of famer. AI is already a hall of famer in the 2016 inductees.

Kobe Bryant was born in Philly because his dad played for the 76ers that time. Kobe might be in the 2021 hall of fame. Joe Bryant his dad, was a not so good player. Kobe is now 38 years old and was retired at 37. Kobe set multiple records in his career like 81 points against the Raptors with Chris Bosh aka “ The Dinosaur”. Kobe had 35 at halftime and scored 47 points in the second half which is crazy but Klay Thompson got 37 in the 3rd quarter too one time against the Sac Kings. MJ said Kobe is better than LBJ . Thats what I personally think too. Kobe scored 62 against the Mavs in 2005 with Dirk Nowitzki who in 2011 won his only championship facing the Miami Heat with LBJ. Kobe scored 65 against the Blazers, and with Memphis, scored 60. Kobe has three kids whose names are Natalia, Gianna and a baby sister Bianka.

He is fondly called the black mamba which is a deadly snake like his shooting skills.
