As you can easily tell from the title of this post and accompanying link above, Kobe Bryant is being immortalized and getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Grauman's Chinese Theater on February 19, 2011. While I am all for Kobe receiving a star on the walk of fame, I am not for him being the first athlete to receive such an honor as there are many other athletes who have had success not only on the field or court, but have crossed over into film, television, and music. Below, I list a number of stars who also deserve to be enshrined on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Magic Johnson
[The Magic Hour late night talk show, Remember the Times w/ Michael Jackson. ** It must be noted that Magic already has a star, but it's for his chain of Movie Theaters and not his acting/talk show.]

Deion Sanders
