How many times has Kobe been to the All-Star Game?
Bryant is an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. He led the NBA in scoring during two seasons and ranks third on the league’s all-time regular season scoring and fourth on the all-time postseason scoring list.
How many times did Kobe Bryant win the NBA Finals?
Before retiring from the NBA in 2016, Bryant played for the Los Angeles Lakers for the entirety of his two-decade career, winning the NBA Finals five times. Bryant was also a longtime helicopter passenger, famously flying from his Orange County home to Lakers games at the Staples Center in Los Angeles during his career.
Bryant, coming off a torn Achilles tendon suffered last April, struggled to get into the flow and shot just 2-9 from the floor. Despite starting, he was on a minute count, which we can expect moving forward into the near future. The Lakers have a patchwork roster filled with cast-offs and mediocrity.

Is a return from an injury like this dangerous for Bryant?
Bryant has been an unrelenting teammate who demands greatness from himself and others. And yet, returning from an injury like this — an injury that could have easily kept him out the entire regular season — is a dangerous undertaking, even for him.
