Ego.Why is Kobe even retiring anyway? Dirk, KG, and Duncan are all still playing. Why can't Kobe just be in a more limited role like KG and Duncan are?

Dirk is making playoffs and kg is just happy to be a mentor. Kobe is not going to stay any longer on a non playoff team and although he does help young players a bit, he's not going to do it like KG because he has his own things going onWhy is Kobe even retiring anyway?

Ego.
BTW Jordan was still effective even at 39 and could have kept playing.
I'll walk it back a bit and say it's not totally Kobe's ego that keeps him from taking a reduced role.
He might just be exhausted after 20 years of putting in all that work.
