Kobe Bryant was perhaps the greatest ever to don the Lakers jersey. With a whooping 5 NBA championships and multiple unbelievable performances, Bryant solidified his status as a Lakers’ great.

After seeing perhaps one of the biggest highs in a three-peat with Shaquille O’Neal, it was Kobe who stuck through the struggling seasons for the Purple and Gold, often dragging them to post-season appearances with a middling supporting cast at his disposal.

With no superstar or even an All-Star alongside him, it was Kobe who had to put on all the work in the Lakers’ lineup. Although this did not mean much in terms of championship glory, this situation truly brought out some incredible performances from the ‘Black Mamba’.
