    One of the best to ever do it. He's never been my favorite player, but I always appreciate greatness. Hope he somewhat turns his season around b/c it's very sad to see a player of his magnitude play this bad.

    It's strange that he won't take a reduced role like Duncan, Dirk, KG, Pierce, Carter, etc.

    Could extend his career.

    Ego, I guess.

    GOAT. A god amongst men. Glad to have seen him perform during my lifetime.

    Wouldn't expect him to do it any other way besides drawing attention to himself.

    I didn't expect Kobe to write a poem to announce his retirement. Maybe J.J. Redick, but not Kobe.

    And what does Chuck say? - "No one beats father time".
    Age gets the better of another great.
    Love his game, hate the man. But absolute respect for his talent and achievements.
    Fingers crossed he plays against us in the new year at Staples. Will be my 1st (and last) chance to watch him live.

    A reduced role on a rebuilding Lakers team that won't be making any noise soon? Can't expect him to change teams either. Duncan and Dirk at least have competitive teams.
