Kobe Bryant to retire: Where to see him play rest of season
Kobe Bean Bryant will go down as one of the greatest players to ever wear an NBA uniform. And if you've never seen Bryant ply his craft in person, well, your chances are dwindling after he announced Sunday afternoon that he will hang up his sneakers after this, his 20th NBA season.
Fortunately the season is still young, so there are plenty of chances to see the 37-year-old Lakers great, a 17-time All-Star, play in person. Yes, he's having a historically bad season, but he has won five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, been the league's Most Valuable Player once, NBA Finals MVP twice and All-Star MVP four times.
