Kobe earned his nickname “Jellybean” after some young
fans gave him jellybeans following a game.
When Kobe was eleven years old, he began to grow taller. Over the
course of the next two years he grew more than a foot, to over six
feet tall.
By the time Kobe returned to school to begin his senior year,
virtually every top-notch college in the country was trying to
convince him to accept a scholarship.
As a Laker, Kobe Bryant began to be recognized not just for his scoring ability but also for his ability to create shots for other
players.
In 1998 Kobe Bryant became the youngest player to start an NBA
All-Star game.
