Kobe Bean Bryant (\/\u02c8<\/span>k<\/span>o\u028a<\/span>b<\/span>i\u02d0<\/span>\/<\/a><\/span><\/span> KOH-bee<\/i><\/a>; August 23, 1978 \u2013 January 26, 2020) was an American professional basketball<\/a> player. A shooting guard<\/a>, he spent his entire 20-year career<\/a> with the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in the National Basketball Association<\/a> (NBA). Regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time,[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/a><\/sup>[6]<\/a><\/sup> Bryant won five NBA championships<\/a>, was an 18-time All-Star<\/a>, a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team<\/a>, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team<\/a>, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player<\/a> (MVP), and a two-time NBA Finals MVP<\/a>. Bryant also led the NBA in scoring<\/a> twice, and ranks fourth in league all-time regular season<\/a> and postseason scoring<\/a>. He was posthumously voted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame<\/a> in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Philadelphia<\/a> and partly raised in Italy<\/a>, Bryant was recognized as the top American high-school basketball player while at Lower Merion<\/a>. The son of former NBA player Joe Bryant<\/a>, he declared for the 1996 NBA draft<\/a> and was selected by the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> with the 13th overall pick; he was then traded to the Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned a reputation as a high-flyer by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest<\/a>, and was named an All-Star by his second season. Kobe, with teammate Shaquille O’Neal<\/a>, the pair led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000<\/a> to 2002<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the Lakers lost the 2004 NBA Finals<\/a>, O’Neal was traded and Bryant became the cornerstone of the Lakers. He led the NBA in scoring in the 2005\u201306<\/a> and 2006\u201307<\/a> seasons. In 2006, he scored a career-high 81 points; the second most points scored in a single game<\/a> in league history, behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game<\/a> in 1962. Bryant led the team to consecutive championships in 2009<\/a> and 2010<\/a>, both times being named NBA Finals MVP. He continued to be among the top players in the league through the 2012\u201313 season<\/a>, when he suffered a torn achilles tendon<\/a> at age 34. Season-ending knee and shoulder injuries followed in the next two seasons. Citing physical decline, Bryant retired after the 2015\u201316 season<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The all-time leading scorer in Lakers history, Bryant was the first guard<\/a> in NBA history to play 20 seasons<\/a>. His 18 All-Star designations are the second most all time<\/a>, while it is the record for most consecutive appearances as a starter. Bryant’s four NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards<\/a> are tied with Bob Pettit<\/a> for the most in NBA history. He gave himself the nickname “Black Mamba” in the mid-2000s, and the epithet became widely adopted by the general public. At the 2008<\/a> and 2012 Summer Olympics<\/a>, he won two gold medals<\/a> as a member of the U.S. national team<\/a>. In 2018, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film<\/a> for the film Dear Basketball<\/a><\/i> (2017).<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant died, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others, in a helicopter crash<\/a> in Calabasas, California<\/a>.<\/sup> A number of tributes and memorials were subsequently issued, including renaming the All-Star MVP Award in his honor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kobe was 41 at the time of his death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor 20 seasons, Kobe showed us what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to winning,\u201d NB<\/a>A Commissioner Adam Silver<\/a> said in a statement Sunday. \u201c… He was generous with the wisdom he acquired and saw it as his mission to share with future generations of players…\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant created the venture capital firm Bryant Stibel in 2013 with Web.com founder Jeff Stibel. The firm has over $2 billion in assets and has invested in dozens of companies, including Dell<\/a>, Alibaba<\/a>, Fortnite<\/a> creator Epic Games, payment company Klarna<\/a> and household products outfit The Honest Company<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to have strong entrepreneurs, that\u2019s really the key for us is looking at the people,\u201d Bryant said in a CNBC interview<\/a> in September. \u201cYes, it\u2019s important to see those returns, right? But it\u2019s also important to have great opportunity, great relationships with our investors, great opportunities with our entrepreneurs to help them grow and put them in situations where they can be successful.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant also made millions when he invested in sports drink Body Armor, which sold a stake to Coca-Cola<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Kobe puts his stamp of approval on something and really gets behind you as a partner, the world of sports and everyone across the spectrum of the sports industry takes note, and you\u2019re suddenly validated in a way that most startups just don\u2019t experience until much further on,\u201d said Brian Lee and Matthias Metternich<\/a>, founders of skincare brand Art of Sport, in a statement before Bryant\u2019s death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps said Bryant was an inspiration for that second stage after an athletic career.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think Kobe\u2019s somebody who\u2019s been super fun to kind of pick his brain about some things,\u201d Phelps told The Wall Street Journal<\/a> in August. \u201cWe\u2019ve had the privilege and the opportunity in our sports to be successful and reach the pinnacle, and we know what it takes to get to that top level. So now, it\u2019s always the challenge for the athletes to find that drive outside of the sport.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Less than two years removed from his NBA playing career, Kobe Bryant held court at an April 2018 forum on the USC campus that drew a standing-room-only crowd of about 2,000 people to Bovard Auditorium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t there to hear Bryant, the five-time NBA champion, discuss his 20-year career with the Lakers. The students in attendance were there to hear him talk about business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to sit and ask yourself: What is truly going to get you up in the morning, and what\u2019s going to keep you up at night?\u201d Bryant advised the attendees<\/a>. \u201cWhen you find what that answer is, you stay true to that. I\u2019ve built a … personal brand, which is great, but that is not where our focus is going to be for the next 50 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant was in the midst of expanding a business empire that included an investment firm, multimedia production company and more. And his presence at a forum that has hosted more conventional business leaders \u2014 among them Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Spanx founder Sara Blakely \u2014 is emblematic of how much Bryant had quickly accomplished as an entrepreneur, said Dave Belasco, an adjunct professor at the USC Marshall School of Business who led the discussion with the ex-Laker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was really inspired by someone who was known to be an elite athlete shifting gears and trying to do something that was very different and very bold,\u201d said Belasco, co-founder of the USC Performance Science Institute, which co-hosted the event with the Marshall School. \u201cI think many of the skills and the mind-set that he used to excel in sports served him perfectly in business.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before Bryant\u2019s Jan. 26, 2020, death in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, he\u2019d established himself as a burgeoning mogul<\/a>. He\u2019d planted the seeds years earlier, creating Newport Beach-based Kobe Inc., a brand development firm that launched in 2014<\/a> by making a $6-million investment in sports drink company BodyArmor that was later valued at $200 million<\/a>. Through his Costa Mesa-based Granity Studios production company, he became an author and an Academy Award-winning filmmaker. And in 2016, shortly after finishing a basketball career that saw him earn an estimated $680 million<\/a> in salary and endorsements, Bryant unveiled the venture capital firm Bryant Stibel & Co., which went on to invest in companies including Scopely and LegalZoom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those initiatives helped Bryant, who was 41 at the time of his death, chart a unique post-playing career that eschewed more traditional avenues open to former professional athletes, such as coaching and broadcasting. And that has made him an inspiration to present-day stars eyeing their post-playing careers, said Eric Johnson, a former ESPN executive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a doubt, this generation of athletes is thinking more under those terms \u2014 they are businesspeople already,\u201d said Johnson, who spent 18 years at ESPN and now consults with sports and entertainment companies. \u201cThe majority of them are much more aspiring to be in the business world, and he is an inspirational figure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 17: Former NBA player Kobe Bryant talks with reporters at the Washington Post after attending the Aspen Institute’s Project Play Summit at the Knight Conference Center at the Newseum in Washington, DC<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now the Bryant empire continues without him. One year after his death, Bryant\u2019s companies have largely remained quiet, but his enterprises have not been dormant. A sports training venture with which Bryant partnered has been rebranded; Granity Studios has continued to release new projects; and a limited liability company bearing his name has filed for several trademarks involving his \u201cBlack Mamba\u201d nickname, among other moves. However, there have been no sweeping announcements about the direction of Bryant\u2019s companies and no major new initiatives have been unveiled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kobe Inc. and Granity did not respond to interview requests, and Bryant Stibel declined to comment. Some companies that worked with Bryant, among them Nike, declined to comment on the status of ongoing business relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who followed Bryant\u2019s business career are not surprised by the public silence. Besides any potential restructuring made necessary by Bryant\u2019s death, his companies could be taking a page from his business playbook. Bryant quietly launched several initiatives with little fanfare in the mid-2010s, only making public unveilings or promotional pushes years later once projects were fully baked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe quietness doesn\u2019t surprise me,\u201d said Johnson, faculty director of UCLA Anderson School of Management\u2019s Center for Management of Enterprise in Media, Entertainment and Sports. \u201cFrom my understanding and experience it was always like that until it was launched and created. He certainly wasn\u2019t a barker of all the things he was going to do; he just suddenly [revealed them].\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A desire to be respectful of an extended period of mourning for Bryant could also be a factor. Vanessa Bryant, his widow, has been open about the intensity of her grieving for her husband and daughter Gianna, who was killed in the crash<\/a> too. But she has made moves, assuming a leadership role at Granity, and selling a $2-million Irvine investment home<\/a> the couple had owned since 2013. She also filed a handful of lawsuits stemming from the accident, bringing one complaint against the helicopter operator<\/a> and another against the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department over its handling of the investigation<\/a> of the crash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the most visible changes made since Bryant\u2019s death: In May, it was announced that the Mamba Sports Academy, a sports training business that Bryant partnered with in 2018, would drop \u201cMamba\u201d from its name<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was, in a way, a return to the company\u2019s beginnings, when it was founded in 2016 by former college football player Chad Faulkner and named the Sports Academy. Soon after its debut, Bryant began visiting the academy\u2019s 100,000-square-foot training facility in Thousand Oaks as a coach of his daughter Gianna\u2019s basketball team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant was impressed with the operation, Faulkner said, and joined the company in 2018, when it was renamed to include a nod to his nickname.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was an engaged partner, he really cared,\u201d Faulkner said. \u201cYou add Kobe in the mix and we had a lot more light on us, we had a lot more opportunity to get recognition or open up other doors.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the start of last year, the academy had opened new facilities in Redondo Beach and Frisco, Texas, and counted star athletes such as the L.A. Rams\u2019 Aaron Donald among its 50,000 clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were lined up to open up more facilities, we had a big digital play that we were working through, we were bringing \u2018Mamba Mentality\u2019 forward in a really interesting way,\u201d Faulkner said. \u201cThose are some of the bigger dreams and schemes we had that all tragically ended on the 26th of January last year.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faulkner and his staff were still reeling from Bryant\u2019s death when the pandemic forced them to halt most in-person activities. In announcing the jettisoning of the \u201cMamba\u201d name, the company said that it was \u201ca mutual agreement made in accordance with the wishes of his estate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There has been some under-the-radar activity that suggests groundwork is being laid for new Bryant-related endeavors. In the months after his death, for example, a limited liability company controlled by his family filed to trademark several words and phrases associated with the late basketball player, including his name, Mamba, Mamba League and Lil\u2019 Mambas. The filing to trademark \u201cKobe Bryant,\u201d for example, said the mark could be used for a slew of purposes including headwear, computer game software, ear buds, loungewear, and \u201cproviding a website featuring entertainment information in the field of sports, children\u2019s entertainment, action, adventure, animation, and fantasy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One component of Bryant\u2019s empire that has remained visibly active after his death is Granity Studios, which released a handful of new projects in 2020. It also has new leadership: Whereas Bryant had served as the company\u2019s chief executive, that role is now held by Vanessa Bryant, according to a June filing with the California secretary of state\u2019s office. She also serves as the president<\/a> of Granity and recently appeared in a video<\/a> on its Instagram page promoting a new book release.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company, founded in 2013 and originally named Kobe Studios, is best known for \u201cDear Basketball,\u201d a 5\u00bd-minute animated short based on a poem that Bryant wrote to announce his retirement from the game. The film, which featured a John Williams score, won the Oscar for best animated short in 2018. After Bryant\u2019s death, Granity made the movie available for free online. The company\u2019s other notable projects have included the sports analysis series \u201cDetail\u201d for streaming service ESPN+ and the scripted kids podcast \u201cThe Punies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Granity was also the company behind Bryant\u2019s various book projects, including 2018\u2019s \u201cThe Mamba Mentality: How I Play,\u201d in which he detailed his approach to the sport. Granity\u2019s most recent release, in December, was the novel \u201cEpoca: The River of Sand,\u201d which is the second and final installment in a fantasy series created by Bryant and written by author Ivy Claire. It centers on an elite sports academy in a magical realm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Bryant\u2019s death, Granity also released fiction books \u201cThe Wizenard Series: Season One\u201d and \u201cGeese Are Never Swans,\u201d the latter about a young swimmer who must overcome a family tragedy while pursuing Olympic dreams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company also played a part in the rollout of ESPN\u2019s hit docuseries \u201cThe Last Dance,\u201d about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls\u2019 final NBA championship. The five-episode streaming series \u201cDetail: 1998 Chicago Bulls\u201d for ESPN+ served as a companion piece analyzing the Bulls\u2019 games, hosted by Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr and head coach Phil Jackson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of his basketball career, Bryant was known as a sneering upstart, feuding with teammate Shaquille O\u2019Neal on the way to three championships together before a messy parting. In 2003, Bryant was accused of raping a 19-year-old woman<\/a>, leading to a felony assault charge. Bryant denied raping the woman, and the criminal case was dropped 14 months later after she decided to not testify; in 2005 he settled a civil lawsuit brought by his accuser. Bryant spent years working to repair his image and left the NBA a revered statesman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Considering Bryant\u2019s stature within the league upon his retirement, perhaps it should not be a surprise that his path in the business world would inspire his peers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that Bryant was the only superstar athlete to pursue business in other arenas in recent years: LeBron James, for example, has also taken a diversified approach to investing and entrepreneurship, starting a production company and investing in a pizza restaurant chain and a tequila brand, among other endeavors. But the quick success Bryant found \u2014 his Academy Award, for starters \u2014 made him stand out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant\u2019s path was somewhat similar to that of trailblazing retired athletes, including fellow Lakers great Magic Johnson, known for his movie theater chain<\/a> and Starbucks investment<\/a>, and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, founder of a national commercial real estate firm<\/a>. Bryant, however, was embarking on his post-playing career in a vastly different business environment \u2014 a digital one turbocharged by the internet. That made his road unique, said David Carter, principal of the Sports Business Group, a consulting firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWas there a model [for Bryant]? To me, the short answer would be no,\u201d said Carter, executive director of the Sports Business Institute at the Marshall School. \u201cYou have to think of the time he was operating. Social and digital media. A borderless world. You didn\u2019t have that with Magic or Staubach.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant hasn\u2019t just inspired other pro athletes \u2014 he has encouraged people like Justin Powell, who attended the USC forum featuring the former Laker in 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then a USC student, Powell said he\u2019d long been a fan of Bryant \u2014 but he attended the forum to hear him share some of his business acumen. Powell, who graduated in 2019 and now works for Yahoo Sports as a video producer and writer, wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[Bryant] was someone who had reached the pinnacle in one field and was never content or rested on his laurels,\u201d said Powell, 24, who met with Bryant backstage before the forum. \u201cHe\u2019s had such a profound influence on me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
