Kobe Bean Bryant was not born in a typical way. First off his parents are unknown and  when he came out there was a basketball that came out with him. At birth he was holding a basketball. When he started walking he was holding a basketball. He would hold a basketball for as long as he could.   When he turned 1 he was shooting the basketball. All he could do was score as a kid. He knew basketball was his thing since day one. He later became the greatest scorer of all time. His symbol is a ball going through the hoop, because that's all he did from age 1.

Ray Allen as a young boy, about age 10, he was mad at him self because he wasn't good at basketball. So his dad, Apollo, told him to just focus on one thing. So Ray decided to focus on three pointers. He would take about 300 3s a day. As he got older and older he got better and better at shooting the 3 ball. His symbol is a fire ball because he was on fire his whole career.

John Stockton is the God of assists. His father is Zeus and he has a twin brother named Steve. He doesn't have a mom because he was popped out of Zeus's head at the same time as his brother. At a young age people could see he had a gift for giving. Every time someone needed something he would give it. All this giving translated onto the basketball court. He would play in recreational leagues as a kid and get many assists. His favorite thing to do was pass the ball, he would rarely shoot. As he grew up he started to shoot more and got better and better. In the end he would go to the NBA and lead the league all time in assists and steals. His symbol is a basketball.

Vince Carter wasn't a normal human being. His father Kratos, the God of strength. As a boy he was jealous of his brothers because they were so strong. One day while he was playing basketball with his brothers he was losing and got really mad. He was so mad that he jumped as high as he could and jumped over all his brothers and smashed the ball through the net. From then on he called that a dunk. He became the God of dunking. He wound up playing in the NBA, winning the dunk contest one year, and being a multi-year all star. His symbol is a ball being dunked.
