As we already know, this is Kobe Bryant’s final season. This season has been anything but a fairytale ending. The 20-year veteran has shot poorly beyond the arc and seems tired on the court. Kobe’s struggles have been the main topic this year and there is discussion about limiting his playing time. Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, you have to admit that Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

The statistics speak for themselves. Bryant has spent 20 years in the league with 17 NBA All-Star appearances, 5 NBA championships, 2 NBA Finals MVP awards, 4 NBA All-Star Game MVP awards, 2 NBA scoring championships, and the list goes on and on. Even if he doesn’t play well or doesn’t play at all for the remainder of the season, he will still successfully ride off into the sunset. In the end, Kobe will go down as one of the greatest of all time.
