Full Kobe Bryant Bio from wikipedia.com click here

As I watch Kobe Bryant play at the age of 33 I am really thinking this. “The Black Mumba” is the nearest thing to what most people think is the greatest player ever in the NBA Micheal Jordan as far as skills.

He is just a great player period. Kobe came right out of high school and signed with the Lakers and scored more than 28,000 points so far. And has won five NBA titles with the Lakers.

NBA legends like Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing and others could not win one title but Kobe has five and could pass MJ before he retires. MJ has six NBA rings.

Kobe is a assassin on the court. He wants to do damage. He has one thing and one thing only on his mind just like MJ did and that is winning a NBA title. Yes seems kind of arrogant in his press conferences with the media. Some say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His dad was former NBA player Joe “Butterbean” Bryant. By the way he is the head coach of the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA.

I don’t care how arrogant he seems to be and if he was born with a silver spoon in mouth. I also don’t care about his love life that has been in the news. I care about watching a flat out great player play out his final years as a player in the NBA.

It is time we as basketball fans realize just how great of a player he has been and still is. Real talk.  Gordon Curvey
