After skipping college to turn pro, Bryant was drafted No. 13 overall by the Charlotte Hornets, and his draft rights were traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac.
Bryant was among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on Jan. 26, 2020. He was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame three months later.
