    And honestly, the last image of Kobe in a Laker uniform on the court I want is him scoring 60. #mambaout

    Not sure if he can even hang with G League players, let alone NBA players. Plus he looks out of shape.

    Well if you look at some of the instagram pictures in the last few pages he doesn't look in terrible shape. But, yes, not in peak condition.

    I have no doubt Kobe could get his share at 50 yrs old, but it wouldn’t always be pretty. I’m glad he’s onto his next career and is happy to let the next guys have their time. You can’t go out any better than he did, and he was never the same after the Achilles except a half or quarter at a time.

    But legends make us think they can do the impossible, and we love them for that.

    164 games with the Wizards he played in 142 of them, averaged 35.9 minutes a game, shot 43%, averaged 21.5 PPG, 6rbds, 81%FT and 4.5ast Honestly.. that's pretty damn good to be honest. I don't think Kobe would be embarrassed by those stats at all.

    No comparison the way Kobe's career ended with Jordan's.. Kobe retired during a very weak rebuilding stage of the Laker's club with no relief in sight and tried to pass the torch and also missed a lot of games due to major injury the seasons preceding. Jordan left ontop of his game with a club littered in talent and options for future success.. so he willingly, once again, left the game while he had options to continue winning... Kobe never did anything of the sort, he left everything he had on the court and retired. He couldn't even catch his breath his last game he tried so hard. I don't think there's any doubt MJ left the game with regrets of retiring, where as Kobe did not at all regret his retirement. Kobe put up with bad coaches, huge roster changes, the league screwing them out of major trades they had sewn up.. Jordan couldn't even let Phil go he threw diva fits and stomped away from the game. I'll always put Kobe above Jordan on my G.O.A.T. meter because of it.

    What did Vanessa say? I didn't read what she typed. Busy looking at other things.

    You should back up the little bit to read it for the valid reasons from her point of view why (she liked him retired) and he was going to stay retired. The boss was speaking.

    Looks like a Bombardier Global 5000 or so by the windows/seats. Not bad to have 50 mil plane at your disposal. They do not charter cheaply. Kobe does not f*** around. Back and forth to practice and games in a helo back in the day and private jets everywhere now. The Mamba life.

    Pierce has one ring because of Radmanovic and our current coach defending him...
