Is Kobe Bryant Serbian?

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American All-Star shooting guard in the National Basketball Association who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. Recently he starts to learn Serbian language. You can her him saying "Pusi kurac" - in English - "Suck my Dick".

He rose to national prominence as he became the first guard in league history to be drafted out of high school. Drawing comparisons to NBA legend Michael Jordan. From 2000 to 2002, the dynamic duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Bryant completed a three-peat, winning three NBA championships. However, issues between the two worsened the team. O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat prior to the 2004-05 NBA season. Bryant was ranked #59 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of All Time in 2003.

In 2003 Bryant made headlines when he was accused of rape. The charges were eventually dropped after Bryant's accuser declined to testify. The two sides ultimately settled the matter outside of criminal court.
