Limited Kobe Bryant says retirement has "crossed my mind."

[GoddamnyamanProf]

the NBA is a superstars with charisma driven league so once Kobe is gone, who do we have left?

Went from Kareem > Bird > Magic > Jordan > Kobe to....

Durant?

Lebron is near

NBA is damn near finished brehs.

isn't it weird how the most talked about polarizing player in the league is in his 19th season playing for a trash team? don't think Kobe is the most polarizing player? last time I checked there are no @Bilz @madness @GoddamnyamanProf for other players. translation: losers who watch games to see a player they despise lose

You're as much of an NBA fan as you are a Kings and just as much of a Kings fan as @GoddamnyamanProf is a Suns fan.

Stop tagging me you maple-flavored fakkit

People hating on kobe are just pathetic human beings. Every single NBA IDOLIZES Kobe. Even POP for fukk sakes.

Maybe its because he has aged so gracefully....

that they forget how long he has been sonning the league yet looks like he still 20

they forget what true skill actually looks like. What not being a cac to corperatons, and being your own brand, not manufactured looks like.

thread could've been made two years ago if he played then

but yeah, son might not even make it to 2015-2016 like he supposedly wanted to. Nothing else for him to really achieve, Lakers ain't gonna be shyt for a good while longer than he's gonna physically be able to contribute.

Cleveland literally owes LeBron their lives. That franchise might got the Camby treatment if he never came along

I disagree.

A franchise isn't indebted to any one player.
The Lakers have existed and thrived long before Kobe Bryant.
And they will exist and thrive long after Kobe is gone and dead.

While Kobe was there, he was compensated extremely well.
He isn't entitled to anything more than what he's got. It's not like he single-handedly raised the Lakers into prominence and power. He wasn't winning titles by passing to himself and defending 5 other guys on the court.

This isn't hating on Kobe. I feel that way about every athlete.

An athlete might elevate the profile of a team for a short time, but he wouldn't even have that opportunity if the team didn't exist/sign him to begin with.
So it's pointless to get into a "whom owes whom" debate.

What non "shyt coach" is out there??

i think you could find JUCO coaches better than Byron Scott, Jaques Vaughn and David Blatt
