He was drafted directly out of high school in the 1996 NBA Draft as the 13th overall pick. Bryant immediately became a fan favorite when he won the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.
You can simply not overlook the fact that Kobe has been one of the sport’s highest-scoring players throughout his career in the NBA. Many people say he is the “greatest in the game.” However, he doesn’t always display the traits to be called the “best” in the NBA. Stats have shown that Kobe Bryant tends to choke when it comes to playoff time.
During the years 2000-2002 when the Lakers won the NBA finals three years in a row, Kobe the “star,” was not the one leading the team as a “star” player would be expected to. His points per game and assists per game dropped significantly once playoff hit.
To say the least, Kobe Bryant is not all he is cracked up to be.
