He certainly hasn't been the most popular player in the league. Popularity aside, Kobe Bryant is still revered as one of the best in the game, despite being 32-years-old. He's still one of the best scorers today and is probably the most dangerous players when the game is on the line with the ball in his hands. He had led the Los Angeles Lakers to two consecutive championships and is on the move for a third one this upcoming May.
