Okay so this is going to be a blog about sports, this really is getting me excited. Sports has such a rich history and it'll be really great blogging about it. Now when I had to think over on what to write as my first blog post, it didn't take long to figure out what I was going to write about because it's no secret that my sporting hero is the man himself, the Living Legend KOBE BRYANT!

Young Kobe

So for anyone who has been living under a rock, Kobe Bryant is one of the best basketball players to have EVER play the game, In my personal opinion, he even rivals Michael Jordan himself.











Early Years: Kobe Bryant was born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia. He's the son of a former NBA player Joe "jellybean" Bryant. Kobe spent his early years in Italy and joind the NBA straight outta high school.

NBA Career: At 19, Kobe became the youngest All-star Player in NBA history, he continued to dominate the game throughout his years and even scored 81 points against the toronto Raptors in January 2006 which is the second highest single game mark in NBA history and he led the league in scoring that year. Even though his later seasons were full of injures, he managed to surpass Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA all-time scoring list Dec-2014. He retired after the 2015-16 NBA season

Watch Kobe Killing it by scoring 81 Points.
