Legal Question

Can I use a famous name for personal profit?

Can I use the name of a professional entertainer or athlete for personal profit?

Consider this example, if I wanted to create and sell a bumper sticker that said: ''Kobe Bryant is the best'' would I need permission from Kobe or the Lakers?

Thanks,

tb
