Kobe: "Dear Basketball" #RetirementThread

[STATUTORY]

Hold this L you ball hogging, chucking, rapist. I AM LAUGHING AT YOU KOBE. THE ENTIRE LEBRON FAMILY IS.

[JT123]

While I'm happy he will finally stop embarrassing himself and making a mockery of the sport, announcing this now seems kind of tacky. It's like he's saying "screw the Lakers, the rest of this season is about me. Give all the attention and appreciation to me!"

[MidRange]

Crazy, end of an era.

[J Shuttlesworth]

All hating/trolling aside, I'll miss Kobe being in the league. Generally, a player only gets that much hate/controversy because they are great.

[fos]

Honestly though, in all seriousness, rape is about to go up.

[Lebronxrings]

dude is such a drama queen. He needs all the spotlight on him.

Just retire now, you loser beta.

[stalkerforlife]

Easily the 2nd best player of all time.

But you're a sucker if you think he's retiring.

[bobopenguin]

Legend.

[inclinerator]

he's retiring now? or at the end of the season

[IllegalD]

Hold this L you ball hogging, chucking, rapist. I AM LAUGHING AT YOU KOBE. THE ENTIRE LEBRON FAMILY IS.

2-4, b*tch.

The entire ISH family is laughing at you for being an anime-loving, waifu-pillow humping loser.

Stay mad being a fan of a pathetic franchise who only serves as a farm team for legitimate franchises like the Lakers who will always shit all over your Magic.

Here's a little trip down memory lane:

[smoovegittar]

The best since Jordan. End of an era. One of my fav players... respect.

[JT123]

Im planning a trip to LA right now for that April 13th game. To be in that arena, that night would be unforgettable.

You can't seriously think he's gonna last that long. Don't waste your money

[Bobcats2013]

When I a toss something from 30 into a trash bag, I'm always gonna say "KOBEEEE"

bean your legacy will live on.

[JohnMax]

I used to be one of these irrational Kobe haters but saw the light in time.
