Excerpt from ‘“Job’s Not Finished”: Origin Of Kobe Bryant’s Stoic Reaction To Leading the NBA Finals’ article by Samir Mehdi:

He’s also had an inordinate amount of All-Star, All-NBA, and All-Defense nods to his name over the 20 years that he was with the Los Angeles Lakers.
His journey in the league after having 3-peated with Shaquille O’Neal could be described as one that revolved around him proving to the world that he could do it without ‘The Big Aristotle’.
