anyone else feel like if/when kobes 39/40... if the media ranks him 40-50th in the nba and tnt makes another "your retired" commercial even after a solid year of 22-23ppg/5red/4apg.. that kobe will say
"watch this"
and suit up for another 2-3 years.. dropping 20ppg till age 42-43
finally retiring when the media admits he can play at an allstar level for as long as he wants.
i mean seriously. the guy loves a challenge more than michael jordan in virginity betting poker games
