Not even close. Bird and Maravich were much more skilled players. Several other more skilled players than Kobe

How is Bryant's relationship with the GM? Seems like this is an announcement that would come directly from Kobe.

Sounds like Kobe didn't think this was new news

Kobe will always be my favorite player. He was still a top 5 player in 2012-2013, which is pretty insane at age 34. He is undoubtedly one of the all-time greats and a true inner circle HOF player. He is top 15 at worst by any metric. I have him top 10 (probably around 8).

Most of all, I will just miss watching Kobe play. He is a true legend, and I was lucky enough to grow up with Kobe.

Thanks for the memories. Regardless of his all-time ranking, Kobe will always be my personal GOAT.

All of this.

Kobe already said its his last season

There's no way he plays for anyone but the Lakers at this point anyways.

Good tired of hearing about him. Kobe making the all star game while playing like 7 games was a travesty

Kobe had an incredible career and did some amazing things .. The ginormous amount of money the Lakers paid the guy for a handful of games the last couple of seasons is mind boggling, though ..

Will be a weird day when he retires. I don't like the lakers at all, but I sure as hell respect him
