The 37 year-old five-time NBA Champion Kobe Bryant has recently announced that he will retire after this season on a The Players’ Tribune post titled Dear Basketball.
In Bryant entered this season as a 20-year veteran, and so far has had an dismal season. Bryant is scoring 15.5 points per game on 30.5% shooting from the field.
The “Black Mamba” does not seem like he has much left in the tank, seemingly content on just settling for three-pointers all game. Kobe is averaging a career high 6.8 three-point attempts per game in this young season.
