Did Kobe Bryant make the freshman basketball team?
Kobe Bryant spent his chilhood in Italy, where his father Joe
Bryant played professional basketball. I believe they don't have
freshman, sophomore,junior, senior basketball teams in Europe. It
is not as popular as in US. However, he came back to US his junior
year and made Varsity team and took the team to the national finals
game where they lost. He took his team to national finals again his
senior year and won it that year. Lebron's story seems similar to
Kobe's actually.
