After two decades, two Olympic gold medals, five championship rings, 17 All-Star selections, an 81-point game that ranks as the second-best in NBA history and more than 32,000 points, Bryant's career is officially winding down.
He said this last season was all 'I have left to give', in an open letter to the sport he posted on The Players' Tribune.
'I can't love you obsessively for much longer,' Bryant said in the letter titled 'Dear Basketball'.'My heart can take the pounding, my mind can handle the grind, but my body knows it's time to say goodbye.'
He wrote: 'I'm ready to let you go. I want you to know now, so we both can savour every moment we have left together. The good and the bad.'
'We have given each other all that we have.'
