SPORT

My favourite sport is basketball and my favourite sportsman is Kobe bryant. Kobe Bean Bryant is an American All-star shooting guard who plays for the LA Lakers of the NBA. Bryant is the only son of former Phyladelphia player and former LA sparks head coach Joe "Jellybean" bryant. His parents named him after the famous beef of Kobe, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu.
Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. Since O'Neal's departure following the 2003–04 season, Bryant has become the cornerstone of the Lakers franchise, and was the NBA's leading scorer during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons. In 2006, Bryant scored a career high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second highest number of points scored in a single game in NBA history.
Bryant was awarded the season's MVP in the 2007–08 NBA season after leading his team to the 2008 NBA Finals as the first seed in the Western Conference. In 2008, he won a gold medal as a member of the 2008 Summer Olympics U.S. Men's Basketball Team, occasionally referred to as "The Redeem Team," a play on the name of the first Olympic team that featured NBA players, the Dream Team.
