Lakers’ Bryant to retire at end of season

“He’s a legend and all I hear is about how bad he’s playing, how bad he’s shooting, time for him to hang it up”, Kevin Durant said during a team practice. “All the stuff he does on the court, people kind of mimac”.

He took Davis under his wing when he made the 2012 U.S. Olympic team as an untested 18-year-old.

He will make his first trip of the season to the Crescent City for a January 11 game.

James and the Cavaliers finished the 2008-09 regular season with 66 wins, one more than the Lakers.

Here’s something you can look forward to, Tiger: the 65 games left in Bryant’s career!

“I think it’ll be very emotional and very fun”, James said.

“His whole measuring stick was championships”.

It’s this persistence which has perhaps defined Kobe’s career, a player who would rather shoot 0 for 30 than 0 for 9 as he once told Gotham Chopra, the director of a Bryant documentary. The Lakers will really lose something big. Just a brilliant, brilliant, intelligent man. Sad to see him go.

“You could nearly see a youthful smile on Jerami [Grant] and Isaiah [Canaan] as Kobe just started burying 3s”, Brown said. Being the team that the 76ers break their 17-game losing streak against would be a new low for a disappointing season. It’s pretty much common knowledge that Bryant has a pretty large fan base overseas, especially in Europe.

Tonight, the 76ers face the Los Angeles Lakers at home. “They are just taught the game the right way at an early age”.

He announced, “Finally I’ve chose to accept that I can’t actually do this anymore, and I’m OK with that.” while adding that the decision took a load off his shoulders – just like everybody else’s. I went to Kobe’s camp in high school. This will be his final game as a professional basketball player in his hometown, which is flawless timing as he officially get his farewell tour through the league underway. He became the top scorer in Lakers history with offensive creativity and resourceful athleticism that inspired the generation of fans and players who missed Michael Jordan’s peak, but grew up on the dynamic exploits of the Lakers’ latest superstar. This decision doesn’t need to happen anytime soon but since we know for sure Kobe is retiring and there is no doubt the Lakers will retire his jersey this is certainly an interesting debate to have.
