Lower Merion High School and NBA superstar Kobe Bryant is considered one of the nine best NBA shooting guards of all time, writes Robert Zeglinski for USA Today Sports.
The Black Mamba ranked second on the list.
Kobe Bryant was a five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP, MVP, 18-time All-Star, and 11-time All-NBA First Team, among many other accomplishments.
His entire career was marked by greatness, from his high school days to playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
He had no true weakness when on the court and had an insatiable work ethic that led him to live, breathe, and bleed basketball.
He came second among the best shooting guards only to his favorite ever player, Michael Jordan, who took the top spot.
Jordan’s accomplishments include being a six-time NBA champion, six-time NBA Finals MVP, and five-time MVP.
Another Philadelphia player made the list. Allen Iverson, a former Philadelphia 76er, is in fourth place.
At the height of his career, the 11-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA First Team was one of the most influential NBA stars of the modern era with unique talent and charisma.
