Kobe Bryant became the first athlete to have his hands and feet imprinted at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the ceremony and was joined by George Lopez, Penny Marshall and Jeannie Buss in presenting Bryant.

"This is a tremendous honor," Bryant said. "I feel extremely honored to be able to do this. It's never something I actually thought about when I was watching movies. I never thought my hand and foot prints would be sitting right here at Grauman's Chinese Theatre."

Lakers coach Phil Jackson also attended the ceremony, taking a picture with Bryant in front of his hand and foot prints.

"I can't believe I've been in L.A. 15 years," Bryant said. "It went by so fast. I can remember like it was yesterday being 17 years old and coming to L.A. and not knowing the freeways; the 405, the 101. I had no idea what was going on. I feel like I've grown up in this city. We've had a lot of ups and downs but here we are with five championships and plenty more to go."
