Kobe Bryant, the son of former NBA player
Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, jumped directly from high school
to the pros in 1996 and enjoyed an impressive rookie season with
the Los Angeles Lakers. He also won the Nestle Crunch Slam Dunk
and was the leading scorer in the Schick Rookie Game during the
NBA All-Star Weekend. Then, in his second season, he was voted a
starter for the 1998 All-Star Game, becoming at 19 the youngest
All-Star in NBA history. To top it off, he led the West team in
scoring with 18 points. Bryant was the all-time leading scorer in
Southeastern Pennsylvania history with 2,883 points, breaking the
marks of NBA legend and Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain (2,359 points)
and former St. Joseph's player Carlin Warley (2,441 points).
