NBA: Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is one of the best players to play in the NBA. When he was in his best condition he could be, he could do anything. He was athletic, agressive, and a shooter. Kobe Bryant is now 37 years old with playing 20 years in the NBA. His average salary is 25 million dollars. He entered the NBA straight out of high school at age 17. He was one of the youngest players to enter the NBA. Kobe has been injured almost everywhere on his body, but he fought through it. He had a total of 22 painful injuries in his entire career. From having a sprained finger to having a torn achillies. On April 12, 2013, game 80, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers played the Golden State Warriors. He was driving to the basket, got fouled, and popped his achillies. He was on the floor for minutes, but after the suffering on the floor, Kobe still shot the two free throws and limped off the court (true warrior). This was just one of many more injuries to come in the near future.

Kobe Bryant was amazing when he was young. On January 22nd, 2006, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points listing second on most points scored in a game. Kobe also had 134 40 or more point games in his career. Kobe Bryant has 21 triple-doubles in his career, second among active players. Kobe averages 25.1 points in his entire career consisting of 1,319 games played. Kobe Bryant is 3rd overall in total points scored with 33,117 points scored in his entire career. Kobe Bryant has always been a scorer. Many people don't like Kobe because they think he shoot too much and doesn't pass enough, but in my opinion he is a shooting guard so he has the right to shoot a lot and he is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. All in all, in my opinion, Kobe Bryant will be a top 5 player in NBA history.
