In an open letter posted on The Players Tribune website, Kobe Bryant has announced his upcoming retirement after the 2015 basketball season. The letter stands as a personal talk with the sport as it starts “Dear Basketball..”
It’s clear that Kobe isn’t the player he used to be, but he has had an amazing career! He will end his “courtship” with basketball (and the Lakers) as the highest paid ball player in the league. He admits that his legs “not being what they used to be,” and honestly seems tired and ready to “let go.”
