The Kobe Bryant legacy still goes on

Kobe Bryant began his career after being drafted in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets. However, Bryant did not want to play with the Hornets and asked to be traded, thus joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

His first season was discreet. From the bench he was decisive for the Lakers, although his numbers were not spectacular at all. However, in the following years he forged a legend that is still valid.

He spent 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 25 points per game for his career, 4.7 assists, 5.2 rebounds and a .482 field goal percentage.
