Kobe Bryant: Best Moments, Hall of Fame Career, Accomplishments, Stats & Legacy After Tragic Death

Kobe Bryant’s death along with 8 others, including his daughter Gianna, stunned the sports world on Sunday. Bryant’s untimely passing robs the NBA community of one of the greatest to ever play the game. IN THE VIDEO ABOVE AND BELOW, Bryant put together a Hall of Fame career and his accomplishments, stats and legacy rival any Laker in history. 

Kobe played 20 years for the Los Angeles Lakers, making 15 All-NBA Teams, tied for the most with LeBron James, Kareem-Abdul Jabbar and Tim Duncan. He also won an MVP and had 18 All-Star berths. Many of the best memories came in the regular season, like his 81-point game vs. the Raptors, 62 points in 3 quarters vs. the Mavericks, the free throws with a torn Achilles.

But the best Kobe moments might have come in the playoffs, where he won 5 NBA titles as part of several dominant Lakers teams. Maybe the best moment there was when he had the alley-oop to Shaq. Off-the-court, he even won an Oscar as part of his ‘Dear Basketball’ short that he wrote. 

Kobe Bryant will be an NBA Hall of Famer, something the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has pretty much confirmed (it was a no-brainer even before his death). His impact on the game on and off-the-court will greatly be missed, including his impact on the community of Los Angeles. 

Chat Sports hosts Tom Downey and Harrison Graham reflect on the legacy of Kobe, their favorite memories and moments of his career and how he will be missed.
