Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is an amazing NBA player and is an inspiration to others on and off the court. He made me want to try the same shots he was making in my backyard, yet I didn’t leave until I made the shots. Kobe showed how he is a family man and was able to take criticism when he was accused of felony charges in 2000. Being charged of rape Kobe image of a clean cut person and player had been tarnished throughout the league. Going into other arenas Kobe was booed but managed to maintain being a great player by scoring 40 points or more in eight straight games. During these trails and tribulation Kobe stuck by his wife and daughter buying her a 4 Million dollar engagement ring. Being only the second person to enter the NBA draft after High School. Others thought he was making a huge mistake skipping college but when they seen the success he was having others started following in his footsteps. Since Kobe there have been 30 other high school players who think they could repeat Kobe success.
