Somebody Explain To Me Why Kobe Is Retiring?

[Bilz]

imagine Kobe unretiring in the offseason, signing with a contender, then coming back and dropping 40 on the Lakers.

That would be the GOAT heel turn

Scoring 40 on the Lakers is actually believable

 

[MikelArteta]

Kobe is like Iverson, they have too much pride but o don't blame them

 

[Schmoove]

I'm just sayin mane... this past week was a mirage. He can't keep that kinda production for weeks/months on end

 

[T.he I.nformant]

If his body was done he wouldn't be scoring 38 at all. As a third option? Kobe would do well. And could get you between 15-19 ppg easily.

Breh, you are delusional. Father Time is undefeated. It's time. Let the nikka have his last hurrah and let it go.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

He can come back wearing "45" or number "8".

He got yammed on by ryan anderson whose had more injuries in his 10 or so years rhennkobe

Its time he goes and gets his energy drink/ art company going

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Imagine if Kobe had a team like the Spurs and a coach like Pop, that franchise would have 10 rings at least and he would put San Antonio on the map..I am talking bigger than NY. All the IG thots would be moving to SA and not LA, that dirty creek would be like the Hollywood sign and everyone from around the world would be coming to SA to see it.

He could have done that in charlotte and they probably would never have moved twice

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

You Kobe stans are the worse.

It's fukking over. Stop trying to bring your hero back from the dead.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Kobe could definitely play longer in a limited role basis but who wants to see that. I need to see my GOAT start abd put up at least 20 shots. Guns blazing in this bih

 

[jerniebert]

The sad thing is the op is serious.

 

[Gangstar8]

He could play as the 3rd option and be a sold role player

but hes not tim duncan, the greatest role player of all time

and hes no fucing role player

hes not beta like timmy

 

[Danie84]

GOATBe hits one game winning shot and now folks want him to play more seasons

 

[filial_piety]

because its time to move on

 

[SunZoo]

If he wasn't dead set on retiring a Laker he could take a pay cut and link up with Fish, Phill, Melo and Prozingawd.

He wouldn't have to do the heavy lifting and would provide some offense/playmaking...for maximum fukkery let him run the point.
