What's next for Kobe Bryant, tbqh?

[spursistan]

He has been having one of the most ignominious career-end an all time great could have..That this dude was last relevant in league at age 32--the Sweep in May 2011 vs the Mavericks was the beginning of this terminal tailspin-- is absolutely unbelievable just when it looked a year earlier that he will be equaling or even surpassing MJ in ring..

Since then he has fit every pathetic category there is for bottom-dwelling NBA player: TOSB, coach-killer, financial albatross, team cancer, radioactive free-agency tool.etc..Nothing really redeeming about him in the last half decade..

Will he end his career on this historically humiliating note, missing 3rd straight playoffs in a clusterfuck of Laker team? will he reup in 2016-2017? bolt to a contender next season and coattail to 6th in role player mode?

Your thoughts, tbh :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm beginning to think that he actually will retire this off-season, tbh..

He has, tbh...it is really the only face-saving move...just protect what's left of his completely altered and crumbling legacy..He is just not made to be a"role player" even if he tried...

Retirement, enjoying the millions I handed him for two years of nothing. He would make a good businessman unlike Timothy.

Kobe has a cult like following globally. He's one of those few athletes that will continue to generate millions after retirement. I can also see this nigga starring in a few hit movies tbh.

Kirby is Probably gunna go rape some ugly white girl again..

[whitemamba]

He is getting into the movie biz, just not acting, i think he started a production company.

He really should go play in Europe for a couple years. Maybe Italy where he grew up.

He could literally show up right before game time, jack up about 30 shots, play zero defense, receive all the love and adulation that his ego requires from those fanboy foreigners, and then leave whenever he wanted to.. And they would pay him a King's ransom for it. Plus, he'd get to enjoy all the things Europe has to offer for a while.

I really don't see any negative to that scenario tbh, other than fans making fun of him for leaving for Europe because he couldn't play in the NBA anymore. He's got the rest of his life to be old and boring, might as well make some more money and hoop while he still can tbh.

That's actually a really smart idea. And it wouldn't torpedo his reputation like putting up 1 for 75 performances are doing over here.

He has a huge following in China. He can always go to China and challenge Marbury's reign as the best player in Chinese Basketball.

[spurraider21]

another contract, hopefully

^Amen.

This. When people say these last three years are going to hurt Kobe's legacy, they're in denial. As soon as he retires, the nostalgie will return and media will easily be able to chalk these last few seasons to injury.

But I think he will retire. I don't think he'll shut it down this year. I think he'll announce that he's going to call it quits at the end of the season and do a farewell tour ala Jeter. Maybe go down to 20 minutes a game as well.

Hundreds of thousands*

Millions would be what Jim gave up with Amy & his business failures.

I could see Kobe going 3rd overall after Errors and Jimmer in this years D-League draft tbh

Pray for Kobe, he is playing SF so he has to guard Kawhi:

retire and dieded

[spursistan]

Needs to retire at the end of season IMO..just let it go, for once...Shit is too sad that you almost feel pity ..

[DJR210]

Lakers gonna sign him to another contract anyway.. Get comfortable

[pgardn]

He still has physical tools. He could be a decent NBA player for the Lakers if he changed his game. He could mentor the younger players... He could...

I think we have always seen the problem. The game has always been about him. And so it shall be written and remembered. He still is gonna be rich... This makes it all good for lkrfn. Hilarious yet pitiful.

[spursistan]

1-14 on spotlighted national tv night..ouch...At this point retiring on the spot is actually saving Kobe some remnants of his legacy..

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Anyone thinking Kirby is going to retire instead of milking even more money out of the Lakers

[LkrFan]

Retirement (hopefully).

[Raven]

i think he should do movies.. like that nanny movie...

[Ball Buster]

:lol Anyone thinking Kirby is going to retire instead of milking even more money out of the Lakers
