BOBBEE BEE AND THE BLACK MAMBA

by Eric D.Graham

NORTH CAROLINA (BASN)-On Wednesday, December 5, 2012, against the New Orleans Hornets, when Kobe Bryant scored 17 points in the first half, he became the youngest player in NBA history to reach the 30,000-point plateau.

In accomplishing this incredible feat, Bryant surpassed Wilt Chamberlain‘s previous record of 35 years, 179 days and joined Chamberlain (31,419 points), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928) and Michael Jordan (32,292) as the only five players in NBA history to reach the 30,000-point plateau. Therefore, in honor of Bryant’s basketball brilliance, we decided to publish this article.

In 1996, the Charlotte Hornets (now the New Orleans Hornets) did the worst thing possible when they traded the sixth overall pick in the NBA Draft to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. After that, the rest is history. So in the essence of Hip-Hop, we give props to one of the greatest basketball players ever to lace up a pair of high tops — Kobe Bryant.

The Most Hated

The Most Motivated

He’s Jordan Updated

I know, it’s been Debated

But, he was born with Killer Instinct

And I don’t care, what you think

Nobody is better than Kobe

If there is, then show me

Cause I am about to SET IT OFF

So, let’s get ready for the Playoffs




And I am sorry, Kevin Durant

But it’s like comparing a Giant to an Ant

And I can’t lie

I love this guy

Cause he is the Last Samurai

With a Jujitsu Jumper

Same game; Different number

So don’t HATE number 8

Because he is still great

And I still want to see more

Can I get an encore?

Now, it’s 24

And I still get chills when he walks on the floor



Cause he attacks the rim like a Viper

A.K.A, the L.A.Sniper

Clutch Shooter; Poor Loser

No need for College Recruiters

Because he went from High School

Straight to the Pros

And we all know



There ain’t No need for Passin’

Because he is an Assassin

A Big Game Gunslinger

With Five Rings and Nine Fingers

And he is still number One


Because I have seen him drop 81

Against the Raptors

Sorry, Philly Haters

He is a Big-Shot Maker

Future Hall Fame Player

The Greatest Laker



And I must confess,

He is the Best in the “WEST”

And Phil Jackson, you can’t teach GREATEST

So, please forgive me,

I’m simply stating the FACTS

But he did it without SHAQ

Besides, The Black Mamba is BACK!!!

His dunks are still Acrobatic

This is Supreme Mathematics

He is better than Magic

Greater than Kareem


He is a One-Man Team

And he’s WORTHY

Of all the Praise

Ever since he graduated from the 12th grade

Because he is smooth as silk

With a jumper sweeter than Jamal Wilkes


And, even New York’s Spike Lee

Knows KOBE

Got’s Game

Just watch the way he glides down the lane

And listen to the way the crowd screams his name

And I am not talking about LeBron James



So, check him out as he dribbles between his legs

Along the baseline

Watch his Hang time

Now press rewind

Because, the more you press rewind

The more you will find


Kobe Bryant

The “Greatest of All Times”
