The Timeline Of Kobe Bryant's Entire Career

Despite putting up respectable numbers on the court, averaging 25.3 points per game and tying his career high for games started, the year 2011 was a pretty bad one for Kobe Bryant, according to the OC Register. He was in hot water with the NBA for slinging an "anti-gay slur" at a referee, and was eventually fined $100,000. Things were hardly better on the home front, either: Bryant's wife, Vanessa, decided to file for divorce. 

Even in personally troubled times, his star continued to rise. ESPN reports that 2011 saw Kobe become only the seventh player in NBA history to register 25,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, and 5,000 assists.
