Number 24 (of the Los Angeles Lakers that is) tops this limited list of so many talented athletes in the 2012 Summer Olympics who hail from Southern California. Although Kobe is originally from Philly, he's become an honorary Angeleno in his 16 plus years of being an NBA champion for LA. In 2008, Bryant earned an Olympic gold medal for Team USA.
