    I Hate To Say It But Kobe Needs To Hang It Up

    Torn rotator cuff. 3rd major injury in 3 years. It's hard to see him go out like this, but it's been a hell of a career. Join the front office and learn the business. It's time.

    Yea but the dumb Buss kids want to give him a third of the teams salary cap space. He may as well sit on the bench and cash their checks.

    He definitely needs to move on. His good days are behind him. Reminds me if Iverson. I'll take 21shots and score 21 points and be the top scorer. Not very efficient anymore.

    agreed, but what's the point? Keep rehabbing only to blow out an ACL or break a hip?

    Bird was forced out via back issues...Jordan averaged 20 and 6 at 40 years of age....and Malone was pretty good as well toward the end...none of the players you mentioned looked half as foolish at the end of their careers as Kobe does now shooting below 40 percent from the field...I would respectfully ask that you please refrain from making such asinine statements in the future about all time greats such as those....

    Iverson despite his bad attitude, selfishness and wreckless abandon never shot 37 percent from the field...

    Bryant has been missing a lot of shots he normally makes. I don't know why, but it's premature to say he's done, when he just had a triple double, or close to it, the other day.

    Can wesley mathews get a triple double?

    no, matthews will never get a triple double in his life.

    should he retire?
