Playing as 19-year-old Kobe Bryant in the 1997-98 season. Coming off a promising sophomore year, he's now an All-Star for the first time and starting to earn real minutes behind Eddie Jones. The goal is to take the next step: lock in a starting role, lead the Lakers deep into the playoffs, and begin building the foundation of a Hall of Fame career. MJ’s still at the top, but the league is about to shift. This is where Kobe's legend begins.
With Shaq entering his prime and the Western Conference heating up, every game matters. The spotlight is growing, the expectations are rising, and it’s time to prove that Kobe isn’t just the future — he’s ready now. Develop his game, earn trust from the coaching staff, and make your mark in an NBA era full of legends.
The challenge? Kobe became a 5-time champion, a league MVP, 2-time Finals MVP, and one of the greatest to ever play. Will your career follow the same path — or go even further? Rewrite basketball history and see if you can surpass the legacy of the Black Mamba himself.
