Kobe Bryant: Lakers’ Star Has First Post-Retirement Interview w/ Ellen

“I couldn’t believe that it actually happened, that this moment was actually here, that this was the game”, he said of the night he scored 60 points. “I’ve very blessed to say that ‘I just don’t want to play anymore.’ It’s not like my body forced me out, I don’t wanna do it anymore”.

Bryant, who always adopts a serious demeanor during games, was all smiles as he talked candidly with Ellen. “You kind of start getting a little nostalgic and then you realize everybody is here to watch this final game – don’t suck”.

It has been two weeks since Kobe Bryant played in the final game of his 20-year National Basketball Association career, and the Los Angeles Lakers legend has wasted no time in starting the fun life of retirement. In the hilarious video, Kobe called for a doctor so she can help him with his “excessive sweating”. Apparently bad enough to make Bryant a mockery in the locker room, where teammates bestowed him with nicknames like “Sir Sweats-A-Lot” and “Sweat Middler”. Starts dripping down to my knee and drips back up. It keeps just going up, up, up to my ear, wraps around my neck and then from there it’s like a shower.

He pulled out a mason jar filled with water (or sweat from one quarter) and gave the doctor a chance to sell it on eBay.
