Kobe Bryant Explains Why He Has Not Been To More Lakers Games Since Retirement

Since retiring from the Los Angeles Lakers following the 2015-16 NBA season, Kobe Bryant has shifted his focus almost entirely away from basketball.

While reappearing in the spotlight every now and again for TV and radio appearances, Bryant has been much more focused on his entertainment brand.

Bryant has had a remarkable three years after retiring from his no-doubt Hall of Fame career. As a writer and producer of a number of books and other small projects, he has gone from an on-court winner to an Oscar winner, somehow dominating a world he had no experience in when he left basketball.
