Kobe Bean Bryant was born August 23, 1978, the son of former NBA player Joe Bryant. He started playing basketball when he was three, but it was his spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School just outside Philly that earned him national recognition. He was quickly drafted into the NBA—at the time, the youngest player in the league’s history. UNIDENTIFIED MALE No one talking about any shortness or a weakness in his game. JERRY WEST, FORMER LOS ANGELES LAKERS GENERAL MANAGER Greatness lies ahead for this young man. [I] thought he was gonna be absolutely fantastic. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The Charlotte Hornets selected Bryant as their 13th pick and immediately traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER I think a lot of people … even when I came out of high school, I think people were, kind of, kinda giving me the cold shoulder to begin with, ’cause I think, unfortunately, some people wanted me to fail because I defied the odds. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bryant would not just beat the odds … UNIDENTIFIED MALE NBA ANNOUNCER Kobe Bryant. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT … in his 20-year career with the Lakers, he would crush them. His amazing talent and fierce, competitive nature made him one of sport’s most famous and decorated athletes. He would win five NBA championships— earning him superstar status with a generation of fans. BASKETBALL FANS Kobe. Kobe. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT He also won two NBA Finals MVP awards and a regular season MVP in 2008. The same year, he won his first Olympic gold medal as a member of the U.S. team. Here he is talking about what that Olympic thrill felt like. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER I’m feeling excited. I mean, it’s a great opportunity, and, you know, I think for us to draw the first game playing against the host team is a little tough, but we understand the enthusiasm here in the city and, you know … and we’re proud and just … we really can’t wait to get going. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bryant would strike Olympic gold again in 2012. He would also earn 18 NBA All-Star selections. It was Bryant who was at the center of one of the NBA’s most memorable games [on] January 22, 2006, when he scored 81 points with the Lakers, defeating Toronto. But there was also controversy. In 2003, he was charged with sexual assault, accused of attacking a 19-year-old hotel employee. The charge would later be dropped; the case [was] settled in civil court. Recovering from adversity would become another Kobe trademark. Bryant refused to admit he was hurt, even when he was—famously shooting free throws after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Time would eventually prove to be his greatest opponent. In the fall of 2015, he announced his plans to retire. The Black Mamba, as he called himself, played his final game [on] April 13, 2016. He did not go quietly. He made a jaw-dropping 60 points on 50 shots in a Lakers win against the Utah Jazz that sent the Los Angeles Staples Center into a frenzy. BASKETBALL FANS Kobe. Kobe. Kobe. Kobe. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER The coolest thing is that my kids actually saw me play like I used to play. You know what I mean? It was like, “Whoa, Dad!” I said, “Yeah, I used to do this pretty often.” They’re like, “Really?” Like, “Dude, YouTube it.” MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT His answer that night would tip his hand of the accomplishment for which perhaps he was most proud—being the father of four daughters: 17-year-old Natalia, 13-year-old Gianna, three-year-old Bianka and seven-month-old Capri. Bryant himself said after retirement, he didn’t watch too much basketball, but his daughter Gianna’s love of the game sparked his interest in coaching. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER Coaching the kids is fun. It just kind of came out of nowhere because my daughter just decided she wanted to play about two and a half years ago, you know, and, so, [I] started coaching her a little bit, and then she made the … a local all-star team. We really just kinda sit back and let them process things and figure things out ’cause we are playing for the long game of them being the best basketball players they can be, but it’s fun to sit there and watch them hoop. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Father and daughter were on their way to one of Gianna’s games when tragedy struck. Bryant was not just an award-winner on the court. KOBE BRYANT, NARRATOR, “DEAR BASKETBALL” Five … four … three … two … one. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT In 2018, he won an Academy Award for his short film Dear Basketball, based on the poem he wrote when he was retiring from the game. KOBE BRYANT, NARRATOR, “DEAR BASKETBALL” Love you always, Kobe. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Martin Savidge, CNN. 不知名男性NBA球評 柯比拿到湖人隊最後的…… CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 在籃球界，身高六呎六吋的柯比．布萊恩不算特別高，不過從各個角度來看，作為一名球員和一個人，他都是位巨人。 柯比．比恩．布萊恩生於一九七八年八月二十三日，是前NBA球員喬．布萊恩之子。他三歲開始打籃球，不過讓他贏得全國認可的是他在費城郊區的勞爾梅理恩高中亮眼的高中生涯。他很快就被選進了NBA，在當時他是聯盟史上最年輕的球員。 不知名男性 他比賽時，沒有人會講他有任何不足或弱點。 前洛杉磯湖人隊總經理 傑瑞．衛斯特→ 這個年輕人前途無量。我認為他肯定會大放異彩。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 夏洛特黃蜂隊在第十三順位選了布萊恩，並立刻把他交易到洛杉磯湖人隊。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 我想很多人……即使在我剛踏出高中時，我想人們有點，一開始有點刻意無視我，因為很不幸地，我覺得有些人希望我失敗，因為我克服了萬難。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 布萊恩不只克服了萬難…… 不知名男性NBA司儀 柯比．布萊恩。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 ……他在湖人隊二十年的職業生涯中，他粉碎了障礙。他驚人的天賦和強悍的競爭本色讓他成為運動界最知名、成績斐然的運動員之一。他贏得五座NBA冠軍，使他搏得超級巨星的地位和一整個世代的球迷。 籃球迷 柯比。柯比。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 他也贏過兩次NBA總決賽最有價值球員獎，並在二○○八年拿下例行賽最有價值球員。同年，他以美國隊成員的身分贏得首面奧運金牌。以下是他談到對奧運激情的感受。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 我覺得很興奮。這是很棒的機會，我想對我們來說，第一場比賽對上地主隊是有點辛苦，不過我們明白這座城市的熱情，我們自信滿滿，而且就是……我們真的等不及要開打了。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 布萊恩在二○一二年再度贏得奧運金牌。他也十八度入選NBA全明星隊。 二○○六年一月二十二日——這是NBA最令人難忘的比賽之一，布萊恩是這場比賽的焦點，他為湖人隊拿下八十一分，擊敗多倫多隊。 不過也起過爭議。 二○○三年，他被控性侵，遭指控攻擊一名十九歲的旅館員工。這項指控後來被撤銷；該案件在民事法庭和解。 在困境中重生成為柯比的另一個標誌。布萊恩不願承認自己受傷，即便事實如此──為人所知的是他在跟腱斷裂後還投了罰球。最終證明，時間是他最大的對手。 二○一五年秋天，他宣布了退休計畫。黑曼巴──這是他給自己的稱號──在二○一六年四月十三日打了自己最後一場的比賽。他可不是悄然離去。在這場湖人隊擊敗猶他爵士隊的比賽中，他以令人瞠目結舌的五十次投籃、獨得六十分的成績讓洛杉磯史坦波中心陷入瘋狂。 籃球迷 柯比。柯比。柯比。柯比。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 最酷的是我的孩子其實有看到我像以前打球那樣打球。你懂我的意思嗎？他們說：「哇，老爸！」我說：「對啊，我以前還蠻常這樣打的。」他們會說：「真的嗎？」我就說：「小傢伙，去YouTube上看看啊。」 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 他當晚的回答透漏了也許是他最驕傲的成就——作為四個女兒的父親：十七歲的納塔莉雅、十三歲的吉安娜、三歲的碧安卡和七個月大的卡普里。 布萊恩自己說退休後他不太看籃球賽，不過他女兒吉安娜對籃球的熱愛激起了他當教練的興趣。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 指導孩子很好玩。這有點像是意外的插曲，因為我女兒在大約兩年半前才決定她想打球，所以我開始教她一點點，然後她進了地方上的全明星隊。 我們真的只是輕鬆看待，讓他們去處理，把事情搞懂，因為我們要打的是一場長久的比賽，要讓他們盡其所能成為最好的籃球員，不過坐在那邊看他們投籃是挺好玩的。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 悲劇發生時，這對父女是在前往吉安娜一場比賽的路上。 布萊恩不只在球場上得獎。 《親愛的籃球》旁白 柯比．布萊恩 五……四……三……二……一。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 二○一八年他以自製短片《致親愛的籃球》贏得一座奧斯卡金像獎，這部片是以他退休時寫的一首詩為藍本。 《親愛的籃球》旁白 柯比．布萊恩 永遠愛你的，柯比。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 本台記者馬汀．塞維吉的報導。 政治 A Presidential Trial 一張圖搞懂川普彈劾案 Looking Back at the Events That Led to Donald Trump’s Impeachment 美國眾議院通過表決，以濫權和妨礙國會調查兩項罪名彈劾總統川普，使他成為美國歷史上第三位遭彈劾的總統。CNN簡要回溯此事件的前因後果。 體育 Kobe’s Giant Legacy 永遠的小飛俠──懷念柯比．布萊恩 Remembering One of Basketball’s All-Time Greats NBA傳奇球星柯比．布萊恩1月26日因直升機意外逝世，震驚全球，各界名人和球迷紛紛表達哀悼及不捨。本文回顧他職涯中的重要里程碑。 科技 The Bro-Bot 人工智慧未來進行式──多功能社交機器人 The Use of 5G Technology in Powering Social Robots 5G世代來臨，各種應用也如雨後春筍般興起。瑞典一家公司推出一款社交機器人，利用超高網速，讓人工智慧能夠更即時、準確地做出反饋，與人類互動。 科技 Food Mission 火星任務的關鍵──太空人吃什麼？ The Difficulties of Feeding Astronauts on a Mars Voyage 人類太空任務的時間和距離越來越長，成功與否的關鍵之一是——太空人怎麼填飽肚子？本文帶各位一窺太空食物的演進及發展的困難點。 經濟 Europe’s Unity 歐盟的運作、整合與未來 Inside the Workings of the European Union 成立超過60年的歐盟是世界上最大的貿易集團，也曾是全球最大的經濟體，如此龐大的經濟同盟是怎麼整合、運作、做決策的呢？ 科技 Gadgets & Gizmos 2020消費性電子大展 聚焦科技新亮點 What Is on Offer at 2020’s Consumer Electronics Show 全球規模最大的年度消費性電子大展在美國拉斯維加斯登場。2020年最新、最吸睛的科技齊聚一堂，快來一睹為快！ 人物 The Mystery of Melania 最神秘、另類的美國第一夫人——梅蘭妮亞．川普 Looking at the Public Image of the United States’ First Lady 美國第一夫人梅蘭妮亞．川普上任三年多，仍維持一貫的低調作風，與性格鮮明、強勢的唐納．川普形成強烈對比。 趣聞 Share, Actually 2019 網路發燒話題大集合 The Hottest Viral Trends of 2019 2019年最熱最夯的網路議題你跟上了嗎？從炸雞爭霸戰、世界最讚蛋、〈鯊魚寶寶〉到瓶蓋挑戰，一次盤點報你知！ 藝文 The Cinematic Question 經典電影中的影像敘事魅力 The Cinematography and Impact of Classic Movies 一部電影是否經典，答案因人而異。知名影評人提出幾個評比要素，來看看你喜愛的電影是否符合這些條件。 商業 RealReal or FakeFake? 二手精品商機夯 上網購買風險高？ The Problems with Reselling Luxury Goods Online 美國二手精品轉售平台RealReal去年風光上市，卻接連爆出假貨疑雲，該公司的鑑識團隊能否做好把關，有待時間證明。 CNN 全球瞭望 Iran Launches Missiles at US Bases in Iraq 伊朗對美軍伊拉克基地發射飛彈 Australia Devastated by Bushfires 澳洲森林大火肆虐 Recap of the Golden Globes 金球獎精采看點總回顧 CNN主編教你唸 科技公司 CNN新聞片語 全方位搞懂CNN The Powerhouse behind the NBA 大衛．史騰――把NBA 送上國際舞台的幕後推手
