Charles Barkley On Why Kobe Bryant Should Retire — Lakers News
After all, he and Jordan Clarkson have dislodged Bryant from the starting guard positions and the latter may be preparing to play power forward in his farewell season. FOX Sports.
“I hope he retires, because I do not want to see, I probably played two years too long I hate to see Patrick Ewing, great as he was, struggle”. Michael Jordan playing for the Wizards, that did not do anything for me. This should be like a farewell tour, play 20, 25 minutes a night. But you still have to bring new guys in because it’s going to keep going and even if, say a guy would not make the team next year, he potentially could be a star (later).
There were some who appeared at the camp but did not play.
“In response to a question about him, I said it would be a great story if he did [play in Rio],”Colangelo told reporters after a Team USA minicamp.”And so, he also mentioned to me in a private conversation that if he had his druthers, he would love to ride off into the sunset playing one more time and winning the gold medal”.
They warned that Kobe Bryant will surely be learn about the comment and will create repercussions for the rookie. Old people don’t get healthy; they die. Father Time is undefeated. “Air doesn’t hit back”. Your co-worker criticizes Bryant and so does Charles Barkley. Hakeem Olajuwon in that Raptors jersey…
While McGrady made it to the All-Stars seven times mainly when he played for the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets, he retired after the 2011-12 season without an National Basketball Association title.
It just winds up sad. The games take place next August and winning another gold medal – which would be his third – would be one hell of a way to finish his legendary career. George wants his first stint while Kobe wants to leave with a blaze of glory. Go out strong, with the embers of the fire still in your eye and a little kick left in the jumper.
We all know that James is interested in a roster spot; but now, it seems Bryant is too.
Kobe himself has admitted that he could retire, but maintains that he will make that decision once the season is done.
