Awesome Never-Before-Published Photos From Kobe Bryant's High School Days Released

Kobe Bryant's legend began to grow before he ever reached the NBA and joined the Los Angeles Lakers. He was one of the top high school players in the country at Lower Merion near Philadelphia and anyone who saw him play during his time there has plenty of stories to tell.

Some never-before-published photos of Bryant during his high school days have been released by USA Today, and they're awesome. Fans who didn't see Bryant play in HS can now get a cool glimpse of what he looked like when he was still a teen.

It is odd to see Bryant in anything other than a Lakers jersey. But, it is also cool for any Kobe fan to see these pictures that have emerged. The gym at his alma mater is named after him and rightfully so.
