So it's pretty clear, Kobe doesn't want this season to be heavily publicized by the media, fans, and fellow players as his farewell tour. In every interview, he answers the same question the same way, "It's not in my nature".
So, how will the organization make his last year a memorable one? Besides making him the highest paid player among his peers, I'm sure the Buss fam will still find a way to pay him his respects before he rides off in the sunset.
Will it be as dramatic as Jeter's farewell tour...no, but Kobe will have to bite his tongue and allow the outpouring of gratitude and appreciation for what he brought to the Los Angeles Lakers organization.
Shhh, It's Kobe's Farewell Season
