It’s Kobe Bryant’s birthday, which also just so happens to be one day off of “Kobe Bryant Day” (8/24, for the uninitiated). What does that mean? Everybody’s getting in on the Kobe love, and 2K Sports decided to drop a little gem for Los Angeles Lakers fans.
We already knew Kobe was one of the featured Lakers on the all-time team, along with Shaquille O’Neal, Wilt Chamberlain, Pau Gasol, James Worthy and Magic Johnson. We didn’t know what his rating would be.
Whichever “year” of Kobe is attached to the team will be rated at a 98.
