Kobe Bryant was an American Professional Basketball Star Player who played for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA for his entire 20-year career.
Dubbed the "Black Mamba" for his agility, aggressiveness, and ability to strike with deadly scoring accuracy, Bryant was a lot of things to the world both on and off the court. He was a doting father to four daughters, as well as one of the greatest players in basketball history, an Academy Award winner, Olympic gold medalist, five-time NBA champion, a fluent speaker of multiple languages, and most importantly, someone so great he made the Los Angeles Lakers retire two different numbers (8 and 24) in his honor.
Bryant died on January 26, 2020, at the age of 41 as a passenger in a helicopter crash in the city of Calabasas, California. The accident also claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven other people.
