Kobe Bryant Becomes First Athlete Honored At Grauman's Chinese Theater

Usually, the Grauman Chinese Theater in Los Angeles is best known for the hand-prints and foot prints of famous television and movie stars.

However, they have made an exception for Lakers star Kobe Bryant. We get more from the Los Angeles Times:

As if he doesn't have enough accomplishments as a five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP, a Beijing Olympic gold medalist and the Lakers' all-time leading scorer, Kobe Bryant will become the first athlete to have his hand and foot imprinted at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The ceremony will take place Feb. 19 as part of the festivities surrounding NBA All-Star weekend, preceding a gala thrown by Bryant that is expected to include at least 1,200 guests.

Sadly, Ruben Patterson will not be inducted as well.
