Kobe Bryant announced that he will be retiring at the end of the 2015-16 season on Sunday night prior to the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Indiana Pacers. That night and in the two road games since, there’s been an outpouring of gratitude and love shown to Kobe from fans and opposing teams knowing that Kobe doesn’t have much longer left in the league.
It’s been amazing to watch, from the Philadelphia 76ers putting together an incredible presentation to the Washington Wizards producing a brief moment in honor of Bryant to even Boston Celtics fans writing letters of respect to Kobe.
