Kobe Bryant is undeniably one of the most dedicated, successful, and greatest basketball players to ever grace the NBA hardwood. He has achieved what many players only dream of doing, and his list of accolades could fill an entire book. This success did not come easy for Bryant, like I said before, his hard work and dedication to the sport of basketball is what made him a legend, that is looked up to by millions of people around the world.

First, a list of his accomplishments. Kobe was drafted out of highschool at the age of seventeen, broke into the league by winning the Slam Dunk contest in his rookie season, and by age of twenty-five he was a three time world champion. He was the youngest person to be named a NBA All-Star at the age of nineteen. The combination of his talents with the talents of Shaquille O’Neal was the greatest “one-two punch” of all time. That is an objective fact. Shaq himself has even admitted that had the duo stayed together after the 2004 season, they most certainly would have gone on to win additional world championships, but Kobe didn’t need Shaq. When it was all said and done, Kobe ended up with five rings to his name to O’Neals four - all five with the Lakers I might add.

Shaq has a net worth of $350 million. He was born Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal on March 6, 1972 in Newark, New Jersey. Shaq grew up with his mother and step-father, not knowing his biological father.

Sunday night Kobe announced his retirement through a heart felt letter in the Players Tribune. It marks then end of something special. There has always been mixed views about him. Now don’t get me wrong Kobe was not perfect by any means, but to you people who question his greatness and call him a “ball hog,” Kobe and I have but one thing to say to you: Did he shoot way too much at times? Yeah.
