Will he or won’t he? That has been the question for the last three years or so regarding Kobe Bryant and when he would ever retire. The responses and speculation from the media have not always been the nicest, and a few having been calling for his retirement for quite awhile. Well, that speculation is now over as Kobe announced through The Players’ Tribune poetically that he is retiring.
It was a special poem that wasn’t written to the fans, wasn’t written to the Lakers, wasn’t written to the Buss family or even written to his team; he wrote his poem to the game of basketball.
