Kobe Bryant; The Return of the King
The last time Kobe Bryant was playing in the finals; he was the Crown Prince of the NBA. At 25 years old; he was a three time champion, and even changed his game a little as the Lakers had added Karl Malone and Gary Payton in hopes of securing another title. The year prior he had averaged a scintillating 30 points 7 rebounds and 6 assists a game, but this was old hat for the Kobester, as he and championships rings were something he expected every June.
A lot has changed since then, but one thing that hasn't, is his immense desire to just win the game. When you are scouting players and looking for the next big thing; that's what is often overlooked, the immense desire to win the game. It makes an average player great and for the few with Kobe's talent, well Jordanesque!
