In Wojnarowski’s special report, the respected Yahoo Sports columnist said that two things may have potentially convinced Bryant to play a 21 season in 2016-17 – a return to form for himself, and the rapid development of his younger teammates. At a dedication ceremony for the Kobe Bryant Gymnasium five years ago, Bryant told the crowd at the high school: “This is where I came from”.
Silver said: “Whether competing in the Finals or hoisting jump shots after midnight in an empty gym, Kobe has an unconditional love for the game”.
Nelson, now a Nuggets point guard, was asked to reflect on Bryant’s extraordinary career, what he has meant to the National Basketball Association and what he has meant to players in the league. The Lakers have a record of 2-14, worst in the Western Conference.
The two-time Olympic gold medallist, 37, has been hindered by injuries in recent seasons and has been below his best this year for the Lakers.
CBS2/KCAL9’s Jeff Nguyen reports fans like Jay Schwartz of Oak Park are plunking down big cash hoping to get one more look at the Lakers legend in person. And even this season, back issues have kept him from playing as much as he would like. They’re just not in position right now to do that.
Following Sunday’s 107-103 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Bryant stated that Jordan’s response to his revelation was to enjoy the process.
Following the announcement, his celebrity friends and fans took to Twitter.com to show their support for Bryant and praise his career achievements.
Kobe will forever miss basketball, but basketball will forever miss Mr Kobe Bryant too. “It’s always a different emotion there than anywhere else”.
Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant has vented his anger at the media for their treatment of retiring Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant, who he feels has been unfairly criticised this season.
