Kobe Bryant - Retrospective of a Legend

Kobe Bryant died, along with eight others including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant, in a helicopter crash on January 26 in Calabasas, California. The 41-year-old's tragic demise prompted an outpouring of mourning, condolences and tributes from fans, celebrities, politicians and fellow athletes. NBA legend Michael Jordan described Bryant as "a little brother", saying:

"We used to talk often, and I will miss those conversations very much. He was a fierce competitor, one of the greats of the game and a creative force. Kobe was also an amazing dad who loved his family deeply - and took great pride in his daughter's love for the game of basketball."

- from CNBC

A shooting guard, Bryant became an NBA player straight out of high school in 1996. He played all 20 seasons of his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers before retiring in 2016. Bryant was an NBA All-Star 18 times, won five championships and was the youngest player in league history to reach 33,000 points at age 37. Bryant still holds the shooting guard records for points with 33,463, free throws with 8,378 and turnovers completed with 4,010. And as a career-long Laker, Bryant set the record for most points scored in one arena with 16,161. These achievements represent only a sample of his prowess as a player. As his retirement loomed, a Reuters article called him "arguably the best player of his generation."
