BIO: With two words, Kobe Bryant eased out of one career and into the next. “Mamba out,” Bryant said on April 15, the night he scored 60 points in his final NBA game. Now focusing on film projects and a venture capital endeavor, Bryant seems to be staying as busy as ever. He and his wife Vanessa, who live in Newport Coast, welcomed their third daughter in mid-December.
WHY HE IS AN INFLUENCER: A simple measure of Bryant’s influence could have been taken on the night of his last game at Staples Center.
