In the summer of 1996 Kobe Bryant played 4 games in the NBA summer league in Long Beach, CA. It was his first showing as a Los Angeles Laker and not many people knew at the time the legend he would come to be. The Lakers would soon acquire Shaquille O'neal and form the beginning of the Shaq - Kobe era.
