Sunday, November 29th, 2015, a legend announced he will retire after this season. Kobe Bryant, one of the best players in basketball history is now playing his last season. He wrote a fantastic poem on Derek Jeter’s website ‘The Players’ Tribune,’ and I encourage everyone to check it out here: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/dear-basketball/
I have been watching Kobe play basketball practically as long as I’ve been able to dribble a ball. So I wanted to pay my respects to the one they call “The Black Mamba.”
Dear Kobe,
My earliest memories of you are the three-peat teams. I was eight years old when you won your first championship.
