This week the world was presented with some predictable, yet shocking news, Kobe Bryant is playing his last season in the NBA. Love him or hate him, you cannot deny the fact that Kobe is an exceptional talent on the court. Twenty seasons with one team in impressive in itself, but when you add the 5 NBA titles, 17 All-Star selections, 11 All NBA selections, and the third leading scorer ever to play in the NBA, damn! He has more points than anyone ever to don a Laker uniform while having missed more shots than anyone ever to make it to the NBA. And let's not forget his defensive presence. Kobe often drew the best player on the opposing team and many times, locked him down. His 12 All Defensive team selections definitely back that up. I don't think anyone can deny that Kobe had a huge impact on the game of basketball. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to respect him. But for the record, I can't fucking stand him! I'll holla at ya Kobe!
