Timeline

1978

Kobe Bean Bryant (August 23, 1978 – January 26, 2020) was an American professional basketball player.

A shooting guard, he spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Bryant was born on August 23, 1978, in Philadelphia, the youngest of three children and the only son of Pamela Cox Bryant and former NBA player Joe Bryant.

He was also the maternal nephew of NBA player John "Chubby" Cox.

His parents named him after the famous beef of Kobe, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu.

His middle name, Bean, was derived from his father's nickname "Jellybean".

Bryant's family was Catholic and he was brought up with this faith.

Bryant started playing basketball when he was three, and the Lakers were his favorite team when he was growing up.

When he was six, his father retired from the NBA and moved his family to Rieti in Italy to continue playing professional basketball.

After two years, they moved first to Reggio Calabria, then to Pistoia and Reggio Emilia.

Kobe became accustomed to his new lifestyle and learned to speak fluent Italian.

He was especially fond of Reggio Emilia, which he considered a loving place and where some of his best childhood memories were made.

He began to play basketball seriously while living in Reggio Emilia.

1996

2000

Despite a feud with teammate Shaquille O'Neal, the pair led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002.

2003

In 2003, Bryant was charged with sexual assault, the alleged victim being a 19-year-old hotel employee.

The accusation briefly tarnished his reputation, resulting in the loss of several of his endorsement contracts.

2017

In 2017, the Lakers retired both his Nos.

8 and 24, making him the only player in NBA history to have multiple numbers retired by the same franchise.

The all-time leading scorer in Lakers history, Bryant was the first guard in NBA history to play 20 seasons.

His 18 All-Star designations are the third most all time, and he has the second most consecutive appearances as a starter.

His four NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards are tied with Bob Pettit for the most in NBA history.
