Total narcist, playing like crap so he announces retirement early in the season to distract from how bad he's playing. Oh yeah, and by the way he gets attention the rest of the season...Brilliant move!!!

 

Uhhhhh....he was already getting attention. Plenty of it. And uhhhhh....it's not distracting from how bad he is playing at all.

Kobe Bean is an all-timer and in the discussion for Top 5.

 

However, his obsession with MJ was always a bit too much for me. His contract has killed the Lakers in the last couple of years and has set the organization back a few years.

 

Kobe didn't hire/fire Mike Brown. Kobe didn't hire/fire Mike D'Antoni. Kobe didn't hire Byron Scott.

 

The entire front office has set the organization back a few years and crazy enough the entire front office is capable of fixing it next summer. We'll see what they can do. The opportunity to get better immediately will be there next summer.

 

If they fail next summer then that is on Jeanie, Jim and Mitch. Not Kobe.

He wrote a damn poem?

 

Come on. Drama queen.

MJ wrote a poem to basketball also. You call him a drama queen too?

Crazy set of accolades in his career. It's also crazy when you realize he won only one MVP.

For the same reason KD will only ever win one MVP. Not being media friendly will cost you MVP votes everytime.

From the Weekend Update on SNL this past Saturday:

 

"Kobe Bryant announced that he will retire from the NBA at the end of this season, saying 'my body knows it's time to say goodbye'. But I don't know, Kobe, the last time you listened to your body, you had to buy your wife a four-million dollar apology diamond."
