The kid from unfamiliar school gives the professional league new dimensions in world of hoops. Its seems his immortality will live forever in the heart of every basketball fans. His brilliance clears the path of the Lakers to become one of the most popular sports club in the planet. Of course, we know Kobe Bean Bryant.
His hoop aspirations came from his father Joe when they live at Philadelphia during younger years. And surprising to me is he is a die-hard Laker fan although they had a team in their state- the Philadelphia 76ers.
In just recent time, I browse his highlights during his high school stint at Lower Merion. It's amazed me because he is positioned at 5 spot. He totally dominate that game- I don't know the name of their opponent that time. Another thing is he made a spectacular 2,883 career points during his stay at high school. He was treaten as 'god' of Lower Merion when he retired his jersey no.33.
When he is drafted in 1996, the Lakers had a big expectation on him and obviously, he delivered even now.
Despite of his characteristics of being ball-hog, I think he is the modern Air Jordan. But he will fail to oust Jordan realistically.
Now, that he is on 30,000 point mark, I'm sure that all Lakers greats, whether they are in the arc of heaven or in the light of earth, they will totally applaud him. That feat is immortality. I hope his story in Lakerland will end in a good note.
Despite of all criticisms, Kobe will stand strong. And that is a blessing.
