Kobe Bryant is the right answer.

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American All-Star shooting guard in the National Basketball Association who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the only son of former Philadelphia 76ers player and current Los Angeles Sparks head coach Joe "Jellybean" Bryant.

He rose to national prominence as he became the first guard in league history to be drafted out of high school, drawing comparisons to NBA legend Michael Jordan. From 2000 to 2002, the dynamic duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Bryant completed a three-peat, winning three NBA championships. However, issues between the two worsened the team. O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat prior to the 2004-05 NBA season. Bryant and coach Phil Jackson have been leading the Lakers since.

Bryant was ranked #59 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of All Time in 2003.

In 2003 Bryant made headlines when he was accused of rape. The charges were eventually dropped after Bryant's accuser declined to testify. The two sides ultimately settled the matter outside of criminal court.

Bryant is a shooting guard who plays small forward on some occasions. As of 2006, he is considered one of the premier and most complete players in the NBA, being elected into the All-NBA Teams en bloc from 1999 on and featuring eight NBA All-Star call-ups. Bryant was a vital part of the three most recent Lakers' championships. He is a prolific scorer, averaging 24.0 points per game for his career, and also nets 4.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Aside from this he is also a standout defender having made the All-Defensive 1st or 2nd Team 5 of the last 6 seasons.
