Kobe Bean Bryant (
KOH-bee; August 23, 1978 – January 26, 2020) was an American professional
basketball player. A
shooting guard, he
spent his entire 20-year career with the
Los Angeles Lakers in the
National Basketball Association (NBA). Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time,
[3][4][5][6] Bryant won five
NBA championships, and was an 18-time
All-Star, a 15-time member of the
All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the
All-Defensive Team, the 2008
NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), and a two-time
NBA Finals MVP. Bryant also
led the NBA in scoring twice, and ranks fourth on the league's
all-time regular season scoring and
all-time postseason scoring lists.
Born in
Philadelphia and partly raised in
Italy, Bryant was recognized as the top high-school basketball player in the U.S. while at
Lower Merion High School in
Pennsylvania. The son of former NBA player
Joe Bryant, he declared for the
1996 NBA draft after graduation, and was selected by the
Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick; the Hornets then traded him to the Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997
Slam Dunk Contest, and he was named an All-Star by his second season. Despite a
feud with teammate
Shaquille O'Neal, the pair led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from
2000 to
2002. In 2003, Bryant was
charged with sexual assault following an accusation by a young female hotel clerk.
[7] The criminal charges were dropped after the accuser refused to testify, and a civil suit was settled out of court. Bryant issued a public apology and admitted to a sexual encounter but denied the assault allegation and said it was consensual.
After the Lakers lost the
2004 NBA Finals, O'Neal was traded and Bryant became the cornerstone of the Lakers. He led the NBA in scoring during the
2005–06 and
2006–07 seasons. In 2006, he scored a career-high 81 points; the second
most points scored in a single game in league history, behind
Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. Bryant led the team to two consecutive championships in
2009 and
2010, and was named NBA Finals MVP on both occasions. He continued to be among the top players in the league through 2013, when he suffered a
torn Achilles tendon at age 34. He subsequently suffered season-ending injuries to his knee and shoulder, respectively, in the following two seasons. Citing physical decline, Bryant retired after the
2015–16 season.
Bryant is the all-time leading scorer in Lakers franchise history. He was also the first
guard in NBA history to play at least
20 seasons. His 18 All-Star designations are the
second most all time, while it is the record for most consecutive appearances as a starter. Bryant's four
All-Star Game MVP Awards are tied with
Bob Pettit for the most in NBA history. He gave himself the nickname "
Black Mamba" in the mid-2000s, and the epithet became widely adopted by the general public. At the
2008 and
2012 Summer Olympics, he won two
gold medals as a member of the
U.S. national team. In 2018, he won the
Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for his 2017 film
Dear Basketball.
[8]
Bryant died at age 41, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, in a
helicopter crash in
Calabasas, California.
[9] A number of tributes and memorials were subsequently issued, including renaming the All-Star Game MVP Award in his honor.
