Kobe won 5 NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in his 20 years there. Surprisingly it was not the Lakers that drafted him. The Charlotte Hornets drafted him in 1996 as their 13th overall pick and traded him to the Lakers. An 18 year old Kobe made his debut for the Lakers on November 3rd, 1996. This was the start to a sparkling career of a man who would be remembered as a legend. 

The year of 2020 took away a legend but Kobe Bryant will never be forgotten. The Mamba was one of the greatest ever. Just like for Vanessa and the Bryant family, Kobe will live forever.
