Kobe Bryant, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, was born on August 23, 1978, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He entered the NBA directly from high school in 1996, drafted by the Charlotte Hornets but traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spent his entire 20-year career. Bryant won five NBA championships with the Lakers (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, and 2010), earning two NBA Finals MVP awards. He was an 18-time NBA All-Star and won two Olympic gold medals with Team USA. Tragically, Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others, died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020.

Jerry West, nicknamed "The Logo" for being the silhouette model for the NBA logo, was born on May 28, 1938, in Chelyan, West Virginia, USA. He played his entire NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers from 1960 to 1974, earning 14 All-Star selections and winning an NBA championship in 1972. After retiring as a player, West transitioned into a successful career as an NBA executive, notably serving as the Lakers' general manager from 1982 to 2000. He played a pivotal role in building championship teams and acquiring superstar talents like Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neal.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr. on April 16, 1947, in New York City, USA, is considered one of the greatest basketball players in history. He played 20 seasons in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Abdul-Jabbar was known for his unstoppable skyhook shot and remarkable defensive prowess. He won six NBA championships (one with the Bucks in 1971 and five with the Lakers in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, and 1988) and is the NBA's all-time leading scorer with 38,387 points. Additionally, he was a 19-time NBA All-Star and a six-time NBA MVP. Off the court, Abdul-Jabbar is an accomplished author, activist, and cultural ambassador.
