Kobe Bryant was a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for his entire 20-year career. Selected 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft, Bryant was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac a month later.{{cite news|last=Robert|first=Selena|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/29/sports/29roberts.html|title=Destination Portland: A Big Man, a Small Place|work=The New York Times|date=June 9, 2007|access-date=December 19, 2008}}{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/news/2001/05/26/sayitaintso_lakers/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010618002340/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/news/2001/05/26/sayitaintso_lakers/|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 18, 2001|title=Say It Ain't So (Transactions that broke our hearts)|publisher=CNN/Sports Illustrated|date=May 26, 2001}} He and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. After O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat following the 2003–04 season, Bryant became the cornerstone of the Lakers franchise.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2888660|title=Buss tells Bryant he is the Lakers' franchise 'cornerstone'|date=May 17, 2007|publisher=ESPN|access-date=March 26, 2009}} He led the NBA in scoring during the {{nbay|2005}} and {{nbay|2006}} seasons.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/playerfile/kobe_bryant/bio.html |title=Bio: Kobe Bryant |work=NBA.com |publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc |access-date=September 20, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100306020711/http://www.nba.com/playerfile/kobe_bryant/bio.html |archive-date=March 6, 2010}} In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second-highest number of points scored in a game in NBA history,{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=260122013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060125025902/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=260122013|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 25, 2006|title=Kobe's 81-point game second only to Wilt|date=January 12, 2006|publisher=ESPN Internet Ventures|access-date=September 20, 2008}}{{cite video| title =Watch All of Kobe's 82 Points in 3 Minutes| url =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXZY4eVLlo| publisher =NBA via YouTube|access-date=September 20, 2008}} behind only Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point performance, and highest output for a guard, as well as being the most points scored by an individual during a televised performance. Bryant was awarded the regular season's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in the 2007–08 season and led his team to the 2008 NBA Finals as the first seed in the Western Conference.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com//news/kobe_mvp_080506.html|title=Kobe Bryant Wins Most Valuable Player Award|work=NBA.com|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|date=May 6, 2008|access-date=May 6, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100901171948/http://www.nba.com/news/kobe_mvp_080506.html|archive-date=September 1, 2010|url-status=dead}} As a member of the U.S. men's basketball team, Bryant was a two-time Olympic gold medalist starting with the 2008 Summer Olympics ("The Redeem Team"{{cite web|last=Sheridan|first=Chris|url=https://www.espn.com/olympics/summer08/basketball/columns/story?columnist=sheridan_chris&page=DreamRedeem-080825|title=Redeem Team proves worthy of Dream Team comparison|publisher=ESPN|date=August 25, 2008|access-date=December 6, 2008}}) and following with the 2012 Summer Olympics team. He led the Lakers to two more championships in 2009 and 2010, winning the Finals MVP award on both occasions.

Bryant currently ranks fourth both on the league's all-time post-season scoring and all-time regular-season scoring lists. He has been selected to 15 All-NBA Team (eleven times to the All-NBA First Team) and 12 All-Defensive Team (nine times to the All-Defensive First Team). He was selected to play in the NBA All-Star Game on 18 occasions, winning All-Star MVP Awards in 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2011 (he shared the 2009 award with Shaquille O'Neal). The award would be named after him in 2020. He also won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest as well as the Rookie Game scoring title in 1997.{{cite basketball-reference|name=Kobe Bryant|id=b/bryanko01|date=September 19, 2008}} He has had 1 eighty-point game, 6 sixty-point games (including his final game), 26 fifty-point games, and 134 forty-point games in his career. Kobe had been also in a three-way tie with Stephen Curry and Donyell Marshall for most three-pointers with 12 in a game until November 8, 2016, when Curry set a new record with 13.
