More specifically, he is a shooting guard (#24) for the Los Angeles Lakers and has been since 1996. Bryant is a great basketball player and some argue that hes one of the best that ever played. Over the span of time that Bryant has been with the Lakers, the team has gone on to win five championships. He is best known for his offensive skills but has also made his mark on the defensive side of basketball. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis career has included some scandal on and off the court. Most notably, Bryants ongoing sibling rivalry with Shaquille ONeal got pretty heated in the 2003-2004 season. That season ended with the Lakers losing the NBA Finals and ONeal leaving the Lakers. Bryant has also faced scandal in his marriage and personal life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2003, Bryant was arrested based on allegations that he had sexually assaulted a 19 year old hotel employee. Bryant admitted to an adulterous affair with the woman but repeatedly denied sexually assaulting her. Despite the drama, Bryant continues to have a strong fan base and to perform well in the game. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e= = = = =\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLance Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLance Edward Armstrong, born in Plano, TX, on September 18, 1971, had a difficult childhood. His mother, Linda Mooneyham, was a high-school student with dreams of joining drill team and going to college. Instead, she found herself a newly married, 16-year-old dropout. Lances biological father, Eddie Gunderson, was a reluctant father and abusive husband. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Lance was two years old, Mooneyham divorced Gunderson, and not long after, married salesman Terry Armstrong. The restless and rambunctious boy never bonded with his stern and abusive stepfather, although the elder Armstrong was present for the greater part of his childhood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiographer John Wilcockson believes Lance Armstrongs rocky relationship with his stepfather, though in some ways traumatic, was key to his development as a world-class athlete: I believe that the 14 years he was Lance's dad was a very interesting period. That's when the making of Lance as a champion happened. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e= = = = =\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManny Pacquiao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManny Pacquiao has a record unrivaled in the history of boxing, including titles in eight different weight divisions.
