After an illustrious 20-year career, Kobe Bryant's fingerprints are all over the basketball history books, but his five championships, countless scoring binges, unforgettable final game, and much more have left an indelible imprint on the culture surrounding the game as well.
Since Bryant entered the league over 14,000 children have been named after him, according to the Vertical, with more than 4,300 children being named for him from 2000-2002 alone. Of course, children weren't the only things people were naming after Bryant. He has his own style of beef named for him (Editor's Note, Kobe is actually named after Kobe beef, not the other way around) and an Atlanta Zoo named an actual Black Mamba after him in honor of his retirement.
