When the Bryant family returned stateside and settled in Philadelphia, Bryant starred at Lower Merion High School, where he would go on to eventually be named the Naismith High School Player of the Year and Gatorade Men’s National Basketball Player of the Year. Fast forward 22 years later to the present, and we’re just counting days until Bryant is enshrined in the NBA’s Hall of Fame, as one of the 10 greatest players of all time.
