, and competition is an afterthought to money and fame, and all these kids think Kobe is an "arrogant a$$hole" simply because he was the fiercest competitor of his era and king of the hill. 
... Lebron takes 90% of defensive plays off, kobe played 48 min like a psycho.Kobe got so much hate, and for what?
a false rape accusation, and people that are butthurt cuz he raped their favorite team for 20 years.
I respect Kobe for not being a diva like Lebron and the most of the rest of this era. Basketball didn't use to be a reality TV show. NBA Players used to be serious about competing and generally didn't like their opponent. Now everyone is buddy buddy, competition is an afterthought to money and fame, and all these kids think Kobe is an arrogant a$$hole simply because he was the fiercest competitor of his era and king of the hill.
Best offensive player of all time. Hands down, and a away underrated defender ...way better than... Lebron takes 90% of defensive plays off, kobe played 48 min like a psycho.

yeahHe probably announced his retirement so the media wouldn't be as critical while he continues to shoot 3-25 every game. Looks like it worked.
Given his Brett Favre type career path, we can expect him to change his mind about retirement this summer.
