Kobe Bryant (born 1978) is a professional basketball player who plays for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers at the position of guard. He entered the NBA draft as a 17-year old immediately after his spectacular high school career at Pennsylvania's Lower Merion High School. He was drafted 13th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets. Bryant had stated before the draft that he refused to play for any team other than Los Angeles, but the Hornets drafted him anyways in the hopes of trading him to the Lakers. Five days after the draft, Bryant was traded to the Lakers for starting center Vlade Divac.

With the Lakers, Bryant has won three NBA Championships and played in ten All-Star games. He also scored 81 points in a game against the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006, the second highest single game scoring total in NBA history.

Bryant also won his first MVP award in the 2007-2008 season.
