1996 Topps Finest Apprentices Kobe Bryant #74

So dominant was Bryant in high school that he broke Wilt Chamberlain's SE Pennsylvania scoring record, outpointing The Stilt 2,883 to 2,539. As a senior, he averaged three dunks per game. The card back also logs his 1995-96 high school stats: 30.8 PPG, 12.0 RPG, 4.0 SPG, and 3.8 BPG — elite numbers that telegraphed his future superstardom. Listed as a Los Angeles Lakers Guard, Bryant stood 6'6" and 200 lbs at the time, drafted by the Hornets in the 1st Round of the 1996 NBA Draft (13th overall). This is Theme A10 from the Apprentices insert series — one of the most iconic rookie-era Kobe cards in the hobby.
