1996 NBA draft
Kobe Bryant 1996 transferred to Los Angeles Lakers.
As the first guard player to directly participate in the NBA draft from high school, Kobe Bryant was selected by Charlotte Hornets in the first round 1996. [8] However, according to Arn Tellem, Bryant's agent at that time, it was "impossible" for him to play for the Charlotte Hornets. However, Bill Branch, then the Hornets' chief scout, said that the Hornets had agreed to exchange draft picks with the Lakers the day before the draft. The Lakers didn't tell the Hornets about their pick until the first five minutes of the draft. [39] Before the draft, Kobe tried out in Los Angeles and played against former Lakers players larry drew and michael cooper. Jerry West, then coach of the Lakers, said that "Kobe has surpassed these players" [40]1July 996 1 1, and West traded his starting center Vlade Divac to the Hornets in exchange for Kobe's draft pick. [4 1] Because Kobe was only 17 years old in the draft, his parents had to sign with him for the Lakers. It was not until the start of the new season that 18-year-old Kobe Bryant signed independently. [42][43]
Initial season (1996- 1999)
In his rookie season, Kobe spent most of his time as a substitute for eddie jones and nick van exel. At that time, he became the youngest player in NBA history (the record was later broken by teammate Andrew Bynum [44]) and the youngest starter in NBA history. At first, Kobe's playing time was limited, but as the season progressed, Kobe gradually gained more playing time. At the end of the season, his average playing time was 15.5 minutes.

[46][47] In the last game of the season, Kobe threw three hollow balls at the last critical moment. [32] First missed the winning goal in the fourth quarter, and then missed two goals in the last minute of overtime to equalize. In this way, Utah jazz defeated the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Shaquille o'neal commented a few years later: "(Kobe) was the only guy who dared to shoot like that at that moment." [48][49] In Kobe's second season, he gained more playing time and began to show the ability of a talented young guard. Bryant's average score soared from 7.6 to 15.4. [50] The increase of Kobe's playing time is due to the tactical arrangement of the team's "small lineup". At this time, Kobe will switch to the position of small forward and can play the starting guard at the same time.

Kobe averaged 15.4 points per game, making him the highest scorer among non-starters this season. [55] 1998-99 This season marks the beginning of Kobe's showing his strength as a top guard in the league.

[6] This season, Kobe signed a six-year contract with the Lakers, worth about $70 million. This contract enables Kobe to play for the Lakers until the 2003-04 season. Although only early in his career, some sports reporters have begun to compare Kobe's skills with those of Michael Jordan and ervin johnson.

Three consecutive championships (1999-2002)
Lakers dynasty Shaquille O 'Neal Kobe Jackson
