Kobe
Bryant is feeling positive about himself and the Los Angeles Lakers
this season. The Black Mamba is coming off a long rest to heal his
injuries. His team, meanwhile, drafted second overall in the 2015
annual draft. This plus the ever improving Jordan Clarkson and
returning Julius Randle gives fans renewed hope for the Purple and
Gold.
Kobe
Bryant will still be the main man in the Lakers organization.
However, for Charles Barkley, the 2015-16 NBA season should be the
last time Kobe Bryant in competitive play. The Houston Rockets legend
believes Kobe should retire after next season.
"I
hope he retires, because I don't want to see — I probably played
two years too long. I hate to see Patrick Ewing, great as he was,
struggle — I don't like seeing great players just out there, you
know?" Barkley said in an interview with Sirius XM Radio as
transcribed by FoxSports.com
"Michael
Jordan playing for the Wizards, that didn't do anything for me.
Kobe's obviously not going to walk away from $30 million. This should
be like a farewell tour, play 20, 25 minutes a night. The Lakers
aren't going to make the playoffs. Could he play some more? Yeah, of
course. His best days are behind him. I hear these fools on TV,
talking about, 'Kobe's going to get healthy.' Old people don't get
healthy; they die. Old people don't get healthy. Father Time is
undefeated. ... You can get in great shape in the summer, because
you're playing against air. Air doesn't hit back."
