He perfected his own works of art: the jab-step-and-pause, using unexpected footwork to pass the defender, and the fadeaway, shooting while he jumped high and backwards from the basket. For 20 seasons, a very long time to stay with one team, he played as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers. With them he won five NBA championship rings and was most valuable player in two finals.
科比完善了自己的藝術：猛沖-腳步-停頓，用出人意料的步法越過防守者，還有后仰投籃，投籃時他向后跳得很高。 他為一個球隊效力長達20個賽季，在洛杉磯湖人隊擔任得分后衛。與他們一起，他贏得了五次NBA總冠軍戒指，并在兩次總決賽中成為最有價值球員。
His 81 points at home against Toronto, in 2006, was the second-highest individual score recorded in league history. By the time he retired he had the third-highest points total, 33,643, overtaken only days ago by the game's present leading star, LeBron James. His own stardom brought him in a salary of around $30m a year, allowing him to dress in Gucci and to keep house in a gated community in Newport Beach, California.
科比在2006年主場對陣多倫多猛龍的比賽中得到81分，是聯盟歷史上個人得分第二高的記錄。退役時，科比的總得分為33,643分，位居歷史第三。而就在幾天前，這項運動的當今領軍人物勒布朗·詹姆斯剛剛超越了他?？票茸约旱拿餍巧矸萁o他帶來了3000萬美元的年薪，他可以穿古馳，并在加州新港海灘的一個封閉社區里擁有房產。
It also brought sponsorship deals, such as the one with Nike, whom he asked to design shoes with heels and midsoles that could shave precious hundredths of seconds off his reaction time. For he didn't care so much about money, points, or the fans' applause; they could turn against him anyway, as they did after he was accused in 2003 of sexually assaulting a woman in Colorado, a case dropped but never cleared up.
它還帶來了贊助協議，比如與耐克的贊助協議，他請耐克設計有鞋后跟和中底的鞋子，這樣可以節省寶貴的百分之一秒的反應時間。因為他不太在乎錢、分數或球迷的掌聲；無論如何他們都可能背叛他，2003年，他被指控在科羅拉多州對一名婦女實施性侵犯后，他們就這么做了，但后來這件案子被撤銷了，但從未得到澄清。
