Kobe Bryant's heartfelt letter announcing retirement
Posted Nov 29, 2015
Dear Basketball, You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream, And I’ll always love you for it. But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer. This season is all I have left to give. My heart can take the pounding, My mind can handle the grind, But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
And that’s OK. I’m ready to let you go. --Kobe Bryant
