History of Kobe

Hello everyone! Good afternoon, I hope everything is fine with you. Today is about basketball, about the legendary Kobe. A legend that will never be forgotten. I'm not very aware of the news of basketball so I apologize for any mistake. I always knew kobe by his name, I played CSGO (a shooting game) and there were grenades in this game, every time we killed with a grenade we screamed KOOOBE, due to his insane career.

Kobe Bean Bryant, (Philadelphia, August 23, 1978), is a former American professional basketball player. He served as the point guard in the Los Angeles Lakers. Son of the former Philadelphia 76ers player and former WNBA squad coach, Los Angeles Sparks, Joe Bryant, is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.

Kobe, along with pivot Shaquille O'Neal and victorious coach Phil Jackson, led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships, the so-called dynasty in the United States - 2000, 2001, 2002. Following the 2003-04 season, Shaquille O'Neal left the team and Kobe became the main star of the Lakers, being the basket of the league for two consecutive seasons: 2005-06 and 2006-07.
