Not sure what to make of this statement.  |
Pretty sure he wasn't talking about on court production, but rather what he would like to watch. As in he wouldn't trade the twilight of Kobe's career for anything else, and that's his prerogative. |
Which is fine. I would ask others to extend the same to folks who are also fans and may have opposite feelings about the same topic too, which is his/her prerogative too.

Great read. I can't say how much I love Kobe. He's a one of a kind of athlete. His work ethic and belief in the power of greatness being built brick by brick is one that is can be empowering to all of us. I know that I am raising my daughters to look at life that way.

Feel like the writer was pushing his own opinion a bit too much but good article nonetheless.
Pretty damn long though. But the ending made up for it, Kobe style
