When Kobe Bryant announced his retirement last week, his decision rocked the sports world.
For many, there has never been an NBA season without the Black Mamba, and they are unsure of how to take the news. For one, Bryant’s steep decline over the past two seasons has been evident, and he has had to deal with several season-ending injuries and a complicated overhaul in the Laker organization.
On the other hand, the 37-year old superstar has been a mainstay in the NBA for nearly 20 years, and most fans are not ready for him to hang up his jersey.
