答案
Kobe Bryant, born on August 23, 1978, is an American AllStar shooting guard who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the only son of Joe, who himself was a professional basketball player.
Kobe became famous when he jumped straight from high school to professional basketball in 1996. Twelve years later，he has become the best player of this league. Bryant was awarded the season's MVP in the 20072008 NBA season，and led Lakers back to the top. As the most fabulous SG after Jordan, he once scored 81 points at a single game in 2006. The next year, he got four 50＋games in straight. As an assistant of O'neal, he got 3 championships in a row.
There's no doubt that he is one of the best players in history. Many think that Kobe Bryant can be compared to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Kobe said he planned to get a college degree some day, either in basketball's offseason or after he retires.
