Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He entered the NBA directly from high school, and he has played for the Lakers his entire career, winning five NBA championships. Bryant is an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. He has led the league in scoring twice, and he ranks third on both the league's all-time regular season scoring and all-time postseason scoring lists. After beginning his 20th season with the Lakers in 2015–16, which set an NBA record for the most seasons with the same team, Bryant announced that he would retire after the season.
The son of former NBA player Joe Bryant, Kobe Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He declared for the NBA draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets, who traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest, and he was named an All-Star by his second season. Despite a feud between them, Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002.
Overwhelming fear
As all nightmares come to life
Extracted pain unfolds within this realm of fear
A change of visions extend my mind
Psychotropic pulse
I am the chosen one â Satan's son
A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
The truth beyond the portals
Reality's borders fade â replaced by liquid glass
Modulation tunes reveal
All your tears unleashed
All souls wrapped in plastic and wonder how
It must hurt to see all the fears unleashedâ¦
A battlefield of indescribable beauties
Like silver statues that glide
In everlasting oceans depths
Legions march onwards in their perpetual cycle
But soon our journey reach it's end
And since ages I felt that kind of satisfaction
As my one and only axe strike hits the hand
Of my chosen victim that kneels crying before me
Oh how I enjoyed to see him cry and finally die
Now your prophetic redeemer is dead
But take a look around and understand
What has changed, say to do really miss him?
So forget all set up morals
And let eternal wisdom flow
Cosmic revelation â demonic incarnation
Collective concentration â total devastation
Psychotropic pulse
I am the chosen one â Satan's son
A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
The truth beyond the portals
