KOBE BRYANT’S childhood home in Pennsylvania has been sold for £610,000, according to reports in the USA.
The Los Angeles Lakers legend lived in the family home as a teenager, say TMZ Sports.

The Bryant family left the stunning five-bedroom property in the Philadelphia area in 2008.
And the most-recent owners put it on the market in September for an asking price of £680,000.
After two months on the market, the home – which features the basketball hoop on which a young Kobe mastered his art – sold for £610,000.
In US dollars, the Pennsylvania property sold for $810,000 – a nod to Bryant’s iconic 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in January 2006.
The house also comes with three-and-a-half bathrooms, ample living space and a large garden.
Bryant died in a helicopter crash in January, alongside 13-year-old daughter Gianna.
The Lakers superstar won five NBA titles during his career – including the 2007-08 MVP award.
But it was during his teenage years Bryant first got a taste for glory.

Having spent seven years between the ages of six and 13 years old, Bryant lived in Italy, before moving back to Philadelphia.
While living at the family home, Kobe led Lower Merion High School to the 1996 championship.
Bryant was named Pennsylvania Player of the Year after averaging an incredible 31.1 points per game.
He was plucked straight out of high school and into the NBA following his heroic season.
Kobe was selected 13th by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft and traded to the Lakers as part of a deal negotiated before draft day.
Bryant would spend 20 years at the Lakers before retiring.
