I hate to see @kobebryant retire. He has given us two decades of incredible basketball. We have been spoiled. He will be missed greatly.

Hard to believe @kobebryant is finally going to hang it up. One of the NBA’s great champions. Enjoy the rest of this season my friend.

To me, it matters not whether @kobebryant is at his best at his career’s end. It has been a privilege to watch him play. He’s incredible.
