10 quotes from Kobe Bryant on his birthday
Kobe Bryant never played college basketball 鈥� his skill level was so high that he was drafted right out of high school (Lower Merion High School near Philadelphia) to play with the NBA鈥檚 Los Angeles Lakers. He is the first guard to ever make the leap directly to the pros. The son of former Philadelphia 76er forward Joe 鈥淛ellybean鈥� Bryant, Kobe has played basketball since age 3. His name was inspired by a menu item, famous kobe beef, which is considered a delicacy in Japan. During 16 years in the Lakers鈥� purple and gold, he has led the team to five NBA titles, was the league鈥檚 Most Valuable Player during the 2007-08 season, and has won two scoring titles. The first came in 2006 when he averaged 35.4 points and once scored 81 points in game, the second most ever after Wilt Chamberlain鈥檚 100-point game.
