Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is an unstoppable scorer. He can swish shots from long range or drive to the basket for a vicious dunk. Bryant once scored 81 points in a single game. He can also dish it to his teammates, rip down rebounds, or play lockdown defense. Despite all these amazing skills, one word describes him the best: champion. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has won five NBA titles since coming out of high school, and he has earned many individual awards.
