Kobe Bryant was a sensation ever since his debut in the league. The Hornets drafted Kobe in the 1996 draft. However, it was the Lakers that had already made the deal to bag Kobe. He was just 18 when he played his first game for the Lakers. He entered the Lakers when they were in transition as a team. They had also drafted Shaquille O’Neal who had proven how good he was in the 4 years before teaming up with Kobe in Lakers.

Kobe and Shaq were unstoppable in the years they shared the locker room together. They won 3 NBA championships together. It was a historic three-peat for the Lakers and second in their history after 1952-54. Kobe and Shaq evidently ruled the league for almost 7 years.

Kobe and Shaq were impactful and made a great pair. However, things did not end as well as they started. Kobe’s Mamba mentality was supreme and he always had an unwavering self belief. However this came with arrogance as well. The same arrogance that made him a better player also resulted in differences between him and his teammates.

What was the real Draft Analysis for Kobe Bryant?

Recently NBA fans hilariously reacted to a fake NBA draft analysis of Kobe. 

This was the real NBA Draft Analysis when the Charlotte Hornets drafted Kobe. There was an added excitement and praise around Kobe. He had skipped college and was straight out of high school when he played in the NBA. The way experts used to talk about Kobe always proved the rarity of the talent he possessed. Even when he joined the Lakers and played his first game, he straight away wanted to be the marquee player of the team despite the veterans on the roster at the time. Kobe not only believed in himself but also proved everything he believed in.
