He has been selected for the NBA All-Star Game every year since 1999, and he participated in the latest1All-Star Game (2000-20 10). [9] Sports writers and sports commentators often compare Kobe with Michael Jordan, but Kobe never likes this comparison. [129] In 2007, ESPN sports reporters voted for the greatest shooting guard in history, and Kobe ranked second only to Jordan.

NBA career

1996 draft Kobe Bryant 1996 transfer to Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant was selected by Charlotte Hornets in the first round 1996. 17' s age makes him the youngest defender to be directly selected into the NBA from high school. [8] Became the 27th player to enter the NBA directly from high school, and one of the two high school players who entered the league from 65438 to 0996 (the other is Jermaine ONeal). [19] Because Lakers general manager Jerry West values Kobe's talent, in July 1 1 [19], he traded Lakers center Vlade Divac for Kobe. Free salary space also created conditions for signing free agent shaquille o'neal in the summer. [8] Because Kobe is only 17 years old, his parents can only sign a contract with the team instead of him, and he can't sign a contract with the team himself until Kobe 18 years old. [27][28] In his initial NBA career (1996- 1999), in order to adapt him to NBA games, Kobe has been acting as a substitute player for the first two seasons. In his first three seasons, the Lakers rarely won the playoffs, and were kicked out of the house with 1998 and 1999 respectively. [8] In the rookie season, Kobe played 7 1 time (6 starts), averaging 7.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and playing 15.5 minutes. At that time, he became the youngest player in NBA history (the record was later held by teammate Andrew Bynum [29]), and he was also the youngest starter. [9]1997 all-star dunk contest won the championship. [30] In the same year, he and teammate Taravis Knight were selected as the second team of the NBA's best rookie, becoming the youngest player to be selected as the best rookie team. [3 1][32] 1996-97 season ended after Kobe Bryant made three "air balls" at the last critical moment. [33] In the fourth quarter, he missed the first shot to win the game, and missed two chances to equalize the score in the last minute of overtime. In this way, Utah jazz defeated the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Shaquille o'neal commented a few years later: "(Kobe) was the only guy who dared to shoot like that at that moment." [34] 1997-98 season, Kobe averaged 26.0 minutes 15.4 points 3. 1 rebounds 2.5 assists. Become the highest scoring player among non-starters in the league and the highest scoring player among substitutes in the history of the Lakers (starting less than 10 games). [19] The increase of Kobe's playing time is due to the tactical arrangement of the team's "small lineup". At this time, Kobe will play the position of small forward instead of the usual shooting guard/point guard. [35] In the competition of 1998 for the best sixth man award in NBA, Kobe also ranked second. [36] In the second season, Kobe Bryant was selected into the 1998 All-Star Team by fans' voting, along with his teammates shaquille o'neal, eddie jones and nick van exel [37]. This is the first time that four players from the same team have been selected into the same NBA All-Star Game since 1983. At the same time, Kobe became the youngest all-star player in NBA history. [8] 1998-99 season, he was the only player in the team who played 50 games (only played 50 games because of labor disputes throughout the season). Throughout the season, Kobe averaged 1.44 steals, ranking first in the team and being able to get the second highest 19.9 points. [9] Because Eddie Jones and Nick Van exel were traded, Kobe became the team's starter. [19] In the middle of the season, Kobe signed a six-year contract with the Lakers for about $70 million. This contract enables Kobe to play for the Lakers until the 2003-04 season. Although only early in his career, some sports reporters have begun to compare Kobe's skills with those of Michael Jordan and ervin johnson. [27][39][40] And there was no improvement in the playoffs this year, and they were swept out of the house by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. [4 1] During the Lakers dynasty (1999-2002)1999-2000 season, with the arrival of Phil Jackson, Kobe entered the second stage of his career, during which he changed from a star to a superstar. [8] Phil Jackson helped the Lakers become an NBA championship team with the triangle offensive tactics he used when he won the Chicago Bulls six times. In 2000, 200 1, and the three consecutive championships in 2002 are the best proof. [42] At the beginning of the season, Kobe Bryant had to stay in the audience for six weeks because he injured his right hand in the preseason game against the Washington Wizards. After returning to the game, under the guidance of the new coach, Kobe's offensive power has improved, and he played 66 times for the Lakers in the 1999-2000 season. In 38.2 minutes, Lakers dynasty Shaquille O 'Neal and Kobe Jackson averaged 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. [8][ 19] The average number of assists and steals per game is the first in the team. Thanks to the return of O 'Neal and Kobe Bryant, as well as a strong bench lineup, the Lakers won the fifth highest number of regular-season wins in NBA history-67 games. O 'Neill won the MVP of the regular season, while Kobe Bryant was selected for the first time as the second team of the NBA's best team and the first team of the NBA's best defense (becoming the youngest player to win this honor). [43] He was selected for the All-Star Team for the second time in the same year, and was selected for the All-Star Game in 12. Although Kobe only played second in the playoffs, he scored 25 points 1 1 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against Portland Trailblazers. [44] There was also an aerial relay with O 'Neill, which won the Western Conference finals series. In the finals against Indiana Pacers, Kobe sprained his ankle in the second quarter of the second game and didn't appear again until the fourth game. In the fourth game, O 'Neill fouled out in overtime, and Kobe scored 8 points in a row, leading the team to win the game with 120- 1 18. [45] In the 2000 playoffs, he averaged 21.65,438+0 points per game. After six games in the finals, he joined hands with O 'Neill to lead the team to the first NBA championship since 1988.

But it was in this year that the contradiction between Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal began to appear. [48] Although the Lakers won only 56 games this season, less than last season 1 1, their score in the playoffs was 15- 1. They easily swept Portland Trailblazers, Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs until they lost a game in overtime against Philadelphia 76ers in the final. [49] 16 in the playoffs, Kobe can get 29.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6. 1 assists. In the playoffs, O 'Neill declared that Kobe was the best player in the league. [33] His improvement in attack power helped the team win the NBA championship for the second year in a row. [8] [19] In the 200 1-02 season, although his average score dropped to 25.2 points, he still sent out the comprehensive data of 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists, and this season, Kobe's shooting percentage reached the highest in his career-46.9%. In the 200 1-02 season, Kobe Bryant was selected for the first time in the NBA. In the same year, Kobe won his first all-star MVP trophy with the comprehensive data of 3 1 point, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. [8] Facing the Trailblazers in the first round of the playoffs, they swept their opponents 3-0 again. In the second round, the Western Conference finals defeated the Spurs 4-/Kloc-0-0 and the Kings 4-3.

In the playoffs, Kobe averaged 26.8 points, 5 1.4% shooting percentage, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, of which 1/4 was the team's score. [8] [19] [50] At the age of 23, Kobe became the youngest player to win three consecutive championships. [5 1][52] Short low tide (2002-2004) In the 2002-03 season, Kobe was 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season.

[9][ 19] 12 averaged 32. 1 points 5. 1 rebounds 5.2 assists in the playoffs, but lost to the San Antonio spurs in the western conference semifinals and missed the finals. [19] In the 2003-04 season, the Lakers had Hall of Fame players Carl Malone and Gary Payton, as well as all-star players O 'Neal and Kobe Bryant for many years, making the Lakers the strongest starting lineup in league history. [53] But in the summer of 2003, Kobe was involved in a sex scandal at the CO Hotel in Eagle County, Colorado. Kobe Bryant traveled back and forth between the Lakers and the stadium many times that season. [8] In the last game of the regular season, the Lakers played against the Blazers. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to victory with two lore games and won the Pacific Division title. At the last moment of the fourth quarter, Kobe hit a three-pointer to equalize the score and dragged the game into overtime. [54] In the end, the game entered the second overtime, and Kobe hit another three points to help the Lakers 105- 104 win. [54] The Lakers still won 50+ in the 27th regular season, beating the Rockets, Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves 4- 1, 4-2 and 4-2 respectively in the playoffs. After 2002, they advanced to the NBA finals again, but the Detroit Pistons led by finals MVP Xichang Billups lost in five games. [8][53] In the finals, Kobe averaged 22.6 points and 4.4 assists and shot only 35. 1%. [55] In September 2004, Kobe's sex scandal finally ended because the woman refused to testify in court. [8] After losing in the 2004 NBA Finals, Jackson and O 'Neill left the Lakers. Jackson wanted to leave his coaching position for a while [8], and rudy tomjanovich took over his coaching position [56]. After asking for a trade, O 'Neal was sent to Miami Heat in exchange for Odom, caron butler and brian grant. Then Kobe turned down the contract offered by the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent and signed a seven-year contract with the Lakers worth 654.38+0.364 million. [8] [58] Disappointed playoffs (2004-2007) In the 2004-05 season, Kobe's reputation was greatly damaged because of what happened last season, and he was also controversial and criticized. Phil Jackson published a new book, The Last Season: A Team in Search of Soul, in which he described in detail the turmoil of the Lakers in 2003-04 and criticized Kobe Bryant as "unteachable". [59] In the middle of the season, head coach Tom Janovic suddenly resigned as head coach, citing health problems. After Tom Janovich left, Lakers assistant Frank Hamblen took over the rest of the season. [60] After O 'Neal left, Kobe must learn to be the leader of the team. He averaged 27.6 points per game. In the 2004-05 season, Kobe averaged 10, 40+. But the team failed to enter the playoffs for the first time since the 1993-94 season.

The Lakers were 45-37 in the regular season, and Kobe averaged 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

[5] He once said, "24th means 24 hours, and I want to devote all my energy to basketball, which is why I chose 24th. If I can't devote myself wholeheartedly, I'm not Kobe. 24 is my best interpretation.
