Kobe Bryant’s career comes to an end tonight. Number 24 or 8, the Black Mamba or Vino, Bean, Kobe, KB, his career comes to an end tonight. That’s it, so long, see ya later.
As the tributes continue to pour in from all over the sports world, there is probably no tribute more fitting than the one Kobe did for himself courtesy of the NBA. Kobe puts his entire 20 year career into perspective and examines what it really meant for him to put on that Lakers jersey for two decades and what it’s going to mean when he takes the jersey off for a final time.
Through injuries, drama, accusations, championships, losses, victories, tears, sweat, blood, broken bones, torn ligaments and even airballs, Kobe has been through it all in his career and this is a fitting ‘exit interview’.
