Kobe Bryant retirement is expected to take place after this season.

Last night, the Golden State Warriors routed the lowly Los Angeles Lakers (and Kobe Bryant, who shot 1-14 and is slowly decomposing before our eyes) 111-77 to win their 16th game in a row and set the record for the best start in National Basketball Association history.
Curry put the scale of the task of beating the Lakers record into perspective by emphasizing that the Warriors would need to double their current win streak.
Despite the shooting woes, Scott believes the answer is not limiting Bryant with his role with Los Angeles or playing time.
“I don’t know – it’s like a chicken or the egg kind of conversation”, Curry told global media. “My shooting will be better, we’ll be better”. I could’ve scored 80 tonight. We accomplished it, and now we have to make sure that we don’t drop off and give a game away just because we broke this record. We’d be what, 3-11? For us to be playing at a high level right now, that’s what we’re anxious about.
But Scott says they don’t have chemistry issues.
Curry also admitted that he’s a huge fan of the Barcelona superstar, who returned from injury just this week.
Speaking to global media in a telephonic conference after his team’s practice session on Wednesday, Curry said: “I don’t know (about being compared to Messi)”. We are a young team, very hungry we’ve got great veterans that won’t let us be complacent.
The Warriors have eight of their next nine games on the road, including their first extended road trip – a seven-game run from 30 November to 12 December. The Warriors are not likely to rout every opponent on the schedule notwithstanding the team’s strong showing early in the season, Curry said.
“But the one thing about KB, he’s willing to do it, whatever I ask him to do”.

It seemed as though Scott was making progress in that regard as he played Russell 34 minutes and 36 minutes respectively in back-to-back games but on Tuesday night Russell played just 26 minutes including none in the fourth quarter. All those things I think about. “He’s just going to kill you”. But on the Lakers, he is still treated like a superstar, and the game plan revolves around him, according to Bleacher Report.
