    Frees up more time for raping

    IIRC, the Kobe/Colorado story was the genesis of "the first 6 inches are consensual" ...

    too bad boobs took his ball and went home, I'm almost certain, he dropped that bomb first ..

    Should have retired YEARS ago.

    Retire or sign 2y/50M deal. But how is PurpleJ a shit poster?

    Not sure what Lakers should have done but spending over the cap to field those 2 teams owing their 1st to the Sixers is a brutal situation.
    My pride is worth more than that if I'm Kobe.
    Pride is worth more than generational money?

    Did you go to the @collegdoog school of hard knocks?
    There's always money in coaching/broadcasting. No one likes to be THAT guy who plays too long and embarrasses himself in the process.
    Hi there.

    Baring career ending injuries, virtually EVERYBODY plays too long and embarrasses themselves in the process. You don't become an elite athlete by having great self awareness, you become an elite athlete by combining elite talent with with elite belief in yourself.

    The Barry Sanders' and John Elways of the world are very rare. MJ, Kareem, Peyton, Montana, Favruh, etc all hung around embarrassingly long. None of their legacies are tainted because of it. Kobe's won't be either.

    True, but he was still a shell of his former self.

    50 million for 2 years or at most probably 1-2 million a year broadcasting? I highly doubt he'd even get that right out of the gate. If he turns into barkley or something entertaining then he could get a huge contract, but they aren't going to just write him a check for being kobe and none of it will even sniff his nba salary.

    Like Lebron has never won one without Wade or Bosh.

    Both sad news and happy. Like it's time.

    The Kobe haters coming out has me feeling nostalgic.

    He had an ok game tonight. He'll continue to put up stinkers. But at some point he'll have a big game and that'll be how I'll remember the last season.

    Kobe gave everyone what they wanted. The best Michael Jordan impersonation possible. And he's a top 10 player of all time. RIP.

    Kobe is my favorite player ever. It's been tough watching the past few years and glad it's finally coming to an end. It's like putting a dog down. You know it's coming because of how bad it has gotten but it sucks nonetheless.

    I was in New York City (high school retreat) when he dropped 81. That feat will never happen again in this age.
