True dat. Glad he came up with that decision - too bad it didn't happen back in 2013 after the achilles injury... still, it's pretty sad watching a talent like Kobe go.
There's only a selected few who knows when it's time to go out in the blaze of glory - and Kobe ain't one of them. I respect him for putting out effort in trying to come back, but your body ain't responding back at 35/36/37 years old they way it used to, when you were 28.
One of the best to ever do it - he'll probably go down as a Top 2 Laker in the history, Top 2-3 shooting guard ever and a Top 10 player of all time. Great legacy for a guy starting off bench in a franchise packed with legends... he dosen't have to prove anything to anyone anymore.
I hope he will have a decent season, and will improve his shooting % - and for fucks sake, someone should stop him from making those terrible 3-pt shots, cause 17 3-pt attempts is just ridiculous @ this point.

Backhanded compliments lol .. So tell me 2 shooting guards in NBA history who can be considered better than Kobe? Don't worry, I'll wait.
If he ain't on your NBA Mount Rushmore then u trippin.

1 = MJ
2 = Kobe or Jerry West
that's why I said he'll go down as Top 2-3 SG - younger dudes will pick Kobe, older ones will go with Mr. Logo. I didn't saw too much material from West, so at the end of the day I'll probably go with KB also.
No, he ain't on my Mount Rushmore, but I got him in my Top 10 all-time list tho.

What about Big O? or Wilt? or Elgin Baylor?
Wanna "lmao" them too? Just cause we ain't seen them play live, like we did MJ/Kobe/LeBron/Shaq/Duncan dosen't mean they don't belong in the conversation dude.
I know your an ultra Kobe fanatic, but please - stop it.

We're talkin about 2guards now .. To put Jerry West above or in the same echelon as Kobe is blasphemous. No disrespect to the legend, but have you ever checked Jerry Wests finals record? He's not even close to Kobe. Wilt is in the discussion.. Oscar and Baylor, again, great players, but not in Kobes top-tier echelon. Didn't have to watch them live, Ive studied the game enough to know this off top.
