For Blazers fans, opportunities to boo one of the most hated players in team history may be coming to an end.
Kobe Bryant will suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers for the 82nd time in his career on Saturday night in the Moda Center. Bryant has not officially announced his retirement at the end of the season, but all signs are pointing in that direction. Given that the Lakers next game in Portland will be their third in four nights and Bryant has struggled to stay healthy, there is a decent chance that Saturday will be his last appearance in Portland as a Laker.
