Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant’s Most Memorable NBA Moments

18 of 20

2008, 2012 Gold Medals

In addition to his five NBA Championships, I don’t think his career would be complete without adding a Gold Medal to his trophy room. And he did exactly that during the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

In 2008, Kobe was a part of one of the best units Team USA has put together in history; also known as the Redeem Team. After a disappointing showing in 2004, in which Team USA only came away with a bronze medal, the 2008 team was on a mission.

After polishing off one of the most impressive runs in Olympic history, Kobe and Team USA completed back-to-back Gold Medals (2008 and 2010).
