Kobe Bryant retired in April after 20 years in the league, but that doesn't mean he's done with his past.
On Wednesday, Bryant penned an open letter to his 17-year-old self on The Players' Tribune, with particular focus on how to treat friends and family.
"You need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family and friends," Bryant wrote. "I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE."
Kobe recently vocalized the rocky relationship he shares with his parents after they attempted to auction off his high school memorabilia.
"Our relationship is s---," Kobe said to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne last April.
