A lot of people are looking forward to Kobe Bryant’s return [ I know I am] at the age of 36 he’s is entering his 19th season after having a very rough 18th season. Missing 19 game while recovering from Achilles tendon surgery and 57 with a fractured left knee that pretty much wrapped up the season for him. But, using Derek Jeter’s exit as an example he would like to leave healthy and on his own terms.
“The biggest key for anybody in retirement is you always want to retire by choice,” Bryant told Yahoo Sports. “Hopefully, I will be fortunate enough to have that option. You don’t want to see another catastrophic injury or something like that. When you walk away, you want to feel like you walked away on your terms.” He went on to explain how serious of an injury it was and how he’s been “chipping” away at it. Kobe Bryant, Black Mamba’s season maybe very interesting this year.
