VIDEO: Kobe Bryant Has First Post-Retirement Interview With Ellen Degeneres

It has been almost two weeks since Kobe Bryant played his last game in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar put on a show at the Staples Center on April 13 scoring a season-high 60 points in front of a crowd of diehard fans, celebrities, and former teammates.

Bryant walked away from the game after arguably the greatest final performance of any athlete in the history of professional sports. The five-time NBA champion immediately got to work at his company, Kobe Inc., the day after his retirement and had yet to do an interview until now.

Kobe made an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show for his first post-retirement interview and admits he has no regrets about walking away from the game:

“Yeah, it feels right to me,” Kobe on retiring this year.
