Bryant show began in Los Angeles soon after the departure of his long time teammate Shaquille O' Neal, the city has never been the same. LA prides themselves in have a future Hall-of-Famer, and considerably one of thee all-time greats on their roster. Yet has anyone looked ahead on Kobe's future?Now a 31 year old veteran of the game, Kobe needs to begin to ask himself how much more does he want?A 4 time NBA champion, MVP, and 12 time all-star does not really need add anything else to his illustrious resume. On a quest for a consecutive championship in which he is the primary leader of the team, he now has basically proved to everyone that he really didn't need Shaq to win the big one.He certainly is considered phenomenal. To be compared to Michael Jordan is an honor in itself, but to have a strong argument in which Kobe might possibly be better than him is amazing to me. Jordan's reputation to me was damaged when he chose to push the issue and continue to play far past his prime. Would Kobe walk down the same path?Nobody likes a quitter, but Kobe doesn't necessarily need to continue playingto prove anything to anybody. When will the day come in which Kobe is no longer needed to be double-teamed to be stopped? We seen Reebok New York Jets #6 Mark Sanchez Realtree camo Jersey
how age and injury wears down a player, would Kobe's career betarnishedjust how manyothershave fallen.Do not get me wrong, I'm Pro-Bryant. I think he is top 5 greatest players of all-time easily. His ability to change the game is extordinary, he can come through in clutch situations without breaking a sweat, which brings out the true face of a champion.I wrote this to voice my opinion on Kobe's future. I'm pretty sure many have a different point of view. I just believe he should retire at his prime, and NO I'm not stating he should retire this year!

saying he should really start to look at his options soon and possibly buy himself a yacht for his future life of luxury. Please feel free to share your ideals and point-of-views on this subject.
