Kobe Brings out the Nostalgia
Kobe said goodbye to basketball the only way he knows how on Wednesday night. He capped his career with a 60 point outing and gave fans exactly what they wanted. I've been a long time Kobe fan through all the ups and downs of his career and now that he is gone I'm afraid it is the end of and era in basketball. The reason I rooted for him was that he wasn't afraid to speak his mind, he wouldn't hesitate to call out coaches or teammates, he never wanted to team up with all-stars to get a ring, he wanted to do it his way and be on top. I feel in today's NBA that competitiveness is lost. Everybody is best friends with everyone now and there's no real rivalries and trash talk that went on between players in years past. I'm an old school basketball fan and I will miss how the NBA used to be when it took more than throwing up deep range three's to win games, but that's the direction its headed and there's nothing that can be done at this point but just enjoy the players that still play the game way it should.

It's hard to believe that Kobe Bryant is finally retiring, Kobe has been playing in the NBA since I can remember. It took Kobe 20 years in the league to finally get the cheers he deserved for how he changed the game. Congrats on a great career Kobe.
