Question 1: Why did Kobe retire? On November 30, in the 20th season of his career, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant officially announced that he will retire after the end of this season, and he also published an article in the "Players Tribune" titled " The article "To Dear Basketball" serves as a farewell message.

Kobe officially announced that he will retire after the end of this season. The severe decline in athletic ability due to injuries and the plummeting data are the main reasons for Kobe to leave. The expiration of the contract is another key factor, even if Kobe wants to continue playing. , the Lakers may not be willing, it is time for the Zijin Army to completely enter the reconstruction period and usher in a new era.

Kobe, who led the team to five championships and played for the Lakers for 20 years, officially announced that he will retire at the end of this season. The answer to why Kobe made such a decision can be found in his statement. Kobe wrote very clearly that he still loves basketball, but his physical condition tells him that it is time to say goodbye.

Kobe once said that whether he continues his NBA career depends on whether there are changes. What exactly this "change" is, Kobe did not say clearly, but now it seems that it should be his performance on the court. Kobe's field goal percentage this season is 31.5%, a career low. He averages more shots per game (16.7) than points per game (15.7 points). His field goal percentage and three-point shooting percentage both rank at the bottom of the league.

After experiencing serious injuries to his Achilles tendon, knee and shoulder, Kobe's athletic ability declined severely, which made him weak in the game. Many times, he could perform technical moves, but at the moment of taking off, Kobe He clearly felt the ruthlessness of the years. He could no longer perfectly combine skills and athletic ability to tear apart defenses like before, and his body betrayed him.

In addition to physical reasons, the expiration of the contract was also a key reason for Kobe's decision to retire. The Lakers renewed Kobe's two-year contract worth $48.5 million in 2013 (the contract began in the 2014-15 season), which fully demonstrated the generosity of the wealthy team and its respect for meritorious players. Kobe's contribution to the Lakers over the past two decades deserves a decent pension contract, but as this contract expires, if Kobe continues to play, it will be more difficult for him and the Lakers. With Kobe's character, it is difficult for him to accept a significant salary cut. The Lakers are already at the bottom of the Western Conference, and complete reconstruction is their inevitable choice. Offering Kobe a high-paying contract will only hinder the team's reconstruction process.

Although the Lakers have never explicitly expressed their hope that Kobe Bryant will retire, team general manager Kupchak has publicly stated more than once that he expects Kobe to leave after the end of his current contract. This seems to be a relatively implicit statement from the Lakers. , both sides said goodbye in a friendly way, leaving the best memories and creating a good story in NBA history. Why not do it.

When any legend will eventually come to an end, everyone will be defeated by time. This was the case with Jordan back then, and the same is true with Kobe today.

Question 2: What will Kobe do after he retires? Personally, I think the possibility of joining the Lakers is still very high. There is a huge market. If the Lakers can win the No. 1 pick this year, the possibility will increase. In addition, After Kobe retires, he will be a boss and will also have more time to visit China. Chinese fans are blessed.

Question 3: Why did Kobe retire? The reasons for Kobe’s retirement were exposed. Injury issues. A foot injury in 13 years has made Kobe useless in martial arts. It can be said that 2013 is the year when Kobe truly "retired", because the Kobe before that is the Kobe in our minds.

The Lakers are rebuilding because of Kobe’s injuries and age. It is no longer possible for the Lakers to reach a new peak. If the Lakers need to reach a new peak, they must rebuild. The problem with rebuilding is that Kobe Bryant’s salary is high (reaching 25 million US dollars in the 15-16 season) and Kobe Bryant’s salary is high. Unlike players like Duncan Garnett who are willing to give up their rights to the ball and their position as team leader, they would rather retire! However, the Lakers are a very humane team (at least for heavyweight stars). In the last two years, they even signed a big contract with Kobe to "reward" Kobe (personally, I feel it is for their own business purposes)

Kobe's mentality. Kobe is already 38 years old. He has already understood that he is no longer the No. 8 Peter Pan. His physical fitness and injuries are already his biggest opponents. Although he only has 5 championships, he has to retire. After that game, he himself said that he has not grown up since he was a child. He is a die-hard Lakers fan who doesn't want to see the Lakers' current record, but there's nothing he can do about it. He understands the necessity of rebuilding the Lakers and resolutely chooses to retire.

In addition, "Kobe.inc" has planned a variety of activities for Kobe's last season and applied for two meaningful trademarks related to Kobe - "KB20" and "HV" .

In fact, Kobe has long thought about what he should do on the first day after retirement. Before the game against the Jazz, he told a reporter from the Lakers official website: "This morning I have to Work. It has to be like this. If I don't start doing this right away, this process will become, tomorrow, tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. So, the first thing I have to do is get up and train, and then go to the office to plan other people's. Story."

Seeing this, "Kobe fans" are like seeing the "Peter Pan" who said "I won't leave until I am the first!" The "Black Mamba" who "I can't tolerate lazy people, our languages ????are all different, I can't understand and don't want to understand lazy people". ． ． ． ．

Question 5: What will Kobe do after retiring? Now Kobe is in business and running his own business empire. I read in the news that he has invested in several projects and has never been idle!

Question 6: Why did Kobe retire? First, as I get older, my body is not as good as before. But the biggest reason is that Kobe himself doesn't want to play.

Although Kobe Bryant is far inferior to before, he is as skinny as a camel and is bigger than a horse. He averages 10 points per game and can still play a role player for two years. But Kobe's arrogance did not allow him to be a role player.

Question 7: What did Kobe Bryant say when he retired? "Friends, this is crazy. 20 years have passed and my teammates, the fans who love basketball, are still here."

In fact, growing up, I have always been a die-hard Laker.” “It’s an honor that I can experience 20 years here. "For 20 years, you have been saying that I don't pass the ball. Tonight, you have been saying: Don't pass the ball..." Don't pass it on... What I want to say is that I thank all the fans from the bottom of my heart for your support, and thank you to my wife and daughter for always being with me. "Thank you!" I gave it all to the court, so I can leave with a clear conscience. I have given everything to basketball for the past 20 years and I will thank God for giving me such a wonderful opportunity."

Question 8: When will Kobe retire? 1. Kobe signed a two-year, $48.5 million contract extension with the Lakers on November 26, 2013, lasting until the 2015-16 season. 2. On December 9, 2014, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak confirmed to the media that Kobe Bryant will retire after the end of this contract and will not renew his contract with the Lakers. He emphasized that this is also Kobe himself. meaning. 3. "No, I really won't play again. However, I am very loyal to this team, and the chance of me leaving the Lakers is zero. I have been lucky enough to win many games and win many championships here. I What else can you ask for?" In an interview on November 11, 2014, Beijing time, Kobe expressed the same view as Kupchak. People around Kobe, including his high school coach who was also his teacher and friend, revealed that Kobe will not play again in two years. To sum up, Kobe has basically confirmed that he will retire in 2016. However, he will be 38 years old at that time. Maybe Kobe feels that he is in good shape and can play for another 1 or 2 years. However, it will definitely not be as good as in his peak period. Yes, his condition has declined now, so fans who like Kobe must cherish Kobe's game now, time is running out.

Question 9: Kobe Bryant retires, what will he do? The league has yet to see who is the next Kobe, or a player of Kobe's type. Shooting guards are now being suppressed by a large number of high-quality new-generation point guards. It feels like there are not many shooting guards in the league who are good at it. The team with the core of the shooting guard seems to have only the core stone (Wade is really old), the 1996 generation have all retired (Ray Allen still counts), and the next ones should be Dumb (really?), Wolf King , Captain Pi and the driver, hey, youth~~

Question 10: What did Kobe Bryant say when he retired? Mamba’s curtain call. I remember it more vividly. He said, in the past 20 years, teammates have come to me. I want the ball, but today they said don’t pass it or wear it
