Kobe Bryant is the epitome of the reincarnation of Michael Jordan. They're the same height, played the same position, and only had one goal in mind and that was to win by any means necessary. Kobe Bryant's technical skill and athletic ability made him nearly impossible to stop during the prime of his career with off the dribble skills or a fadeaway that looked like it would never go in, Kobe 'Bean' Bryant is every defensive player's nightmare. Bryant was drafted straight out of high school by the Charlotte Hornets at the thirteenth pick overall and instantly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers where he spent his entire career.
Throughout his illustrious career, Bryant has been able to earn five NBA Championships, two NBA Finals MVP Awards in 2009 and 2010, only one MVP honor in 2009, eighteen NBA All-Star appearances, and currently sits at the third slot on the all-time NBA most points list with a total of 33,643 only behind Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
