Kobe Bryant was one of the most iconic players in basketball history. He was a shooting guard and spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association. Furthermore, he was one of the most dangerous opponents to deal with on the field.

Furthermore, every player admired his skills and hard work. Once Shaquille O’Neal shared Kobe Bryant’s hilarious response when he gave him advice that there’s no ‘I’ in a ‘TEAM’. To which Bryant replied, “No, but there is an ‘M-E’ in that motherfu**er”. Indeed, all of Kobe’s special moments will always be remembered in people’s hearts.

Kobe Bryant’s commercial for Guitar Hero: World Tour

Guitar Hero is a series of music rhythm video games first released in 2005. Players have to use a guitar-shaped game controller and match notes that scroll on-screen to colored fret buttons on the controller.

Some users might not find Guitar Hero up to their liking; however, according to DigitalSpy blog,” The latest sequel would reportedly become the first game to generate more than $1 billion in sales. Its success was helped by the fact that it was available on most platforms, including – for the first time – the Wii, PS3, and PC.”
