My Brother

Cool ! This shirt made me look like a national level sportsperson.

I wore my brother 's T-shirt with Sarawak Logo. ( He was reluctant to wear this shirt so I became his " model")


My brother just came back from Alor Setar today. He represented Sarawak to attend a national level competition from 27 June ~ 28 June. Even he didn't get any prize but I must congrat him for his archievement. Anyway , this was his first debut at high level competition. I believed he will do better next year. He didn't really like to take photo so I couldn't upload any of his photo.

The journey of Kobe Bryant Part 1

Kobe Bryant was already a national recognition basketball player during his high school career in Lower Merion High School.

Kobe demonstrated his athleticism and excellent dunking abilities.

Kobe : ByeBye high school ! I'm ready to take off. I want to go to the NBA. Nobody at here can stop me.

During high school , he was already proved himself as a star player.

As a senior Kobe was voted USA Today and Parade Magazine's National High School Player of the Year and he led his team to Class AAAA state title with a 31-3 record. With an average of 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals, 3.8 blocked shots per game, and a total of 2,883 points, Bryant became the leading scorer in Southeastern Pennsylvania history -- beating out previous records set by NBA great Wilt Chamberlain and Carlin Warley.

In his senior years of high school , he lead his Lower Merion High School to their first state championship in 53 years.


A four-year starter, Bryant was recognized for his innate basketball skills by being named Naismith Player of the Year, Gatorade Circle of Champions High School Player of the Year, and became a McDonald's All-America Team member.

He already appeared on the magazines.

Kobe has have ensured his basketball scholarship to many top colleges but he made the decision to go directly to the NBA.

He went straight from high school to professional basketball. The Lakers wanted Bryant but were drafting late, so they swung a deal with the Charlotte Hornets whereby Charlotte selected him with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft (June 26,1996), and then traded the signing rights for Kobe to the Los Angeles Lakers for seven-year veteran center Vlade Divac. Though this trade , Kobe became the only Los Angeles player to have bypassed college.

Kobe Bryant set a new record at 1997 Rookie Game with 31 point and 8 rebound.

He finally showcased his tremendous high-flyer by winning the Slam Dunk Championship of the 1997 All-Star Weekend.

Jordan : This ball is mine.
Kobe : Nope. It is mine. You should retire because I will dominate the NBA soon.
Jordan : I think you should get your NBA championship first before talking to me.
Kobe : I will show you my ring before you retire.

Kobe started to earn his reputation at NBA. Can you stop him?

Kobe : Wow! The rim is too near.

Horry : Can you teach me how to dunk like this?
Kobe : Sure but I doubt your leaping ability. Not everyone can fly like me.
Tony : Damn ! I can't jump that high.
Kobe : Sorry dude. I will be more considerate next time.

Kobe is definitely one of the best dunkers in NBA.

Kobe became the hero of Los Angeles.

Jordan : Where is your ring?
Kobe : Hmm....
Jordan : Do you see my 6 rings? Come on , my six championship rings.
Kobe : Speechless.

Jordan : Do you want me to teach you my signature fadeaway?
Kobe : No thank.
Jordan : I think you need it to win the championship. That why I can get 6 championship rings
because they cannot stop me from scoring.

Kobe wore Michael Jordan's 23# jersey.
Kobe : Hey ! I'm not Jordan's fan.

Kobe : I wonder how to make a high accuracy fadeaway like Mike?


Kobe : Am I cute ?

The brotherhood of Kobe and Shaq.

Kobe : Be careful.
O'Neal : I will break your spinal if you talk again.

Kobe : Hey! Why you imitate me?
O'Neal : We 're brothers.

It doesn't matter how big Smith is. Kobe dunks it in his face.

Smith : Damn.

Kobe, like walking in the air. Nobody from Pacers can stop him.

In the 2000 NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, Bryant injured his ankle in the second quarter of game 2 and was out until game 4. In game 4, O'Neal fouled out of the game in over time, so Bryant took the lead and scored eight points and put the Lakers ahead 120–118 for the win. With a game 6 victory, the Lakers won their first championship since 1988.

Kobe : I hate you.
O'Neal: I hate you so much.You're damn annoying.


Kobe : Jordan , do you see my championship ring ?

Jordan : Kobe , but I still haven't see you earn your Final MVP while I already get 6 times.
Kobe : You just need to wait. I'm still young.
Jordan : Oh ! Really?

O'Neal : I heard people said that you want to compete with me for NBA Final MVP.
Kobe : Of course not.
O'Neal : If it is true , I will kill you.

Finally the NBA title stays in Los Angeles in 2000.
