Kobe Bryant is 33 years old. So, if the Los Angeles Lakers star is talking about retiring at age 35, that only gives him two more years. On the other hand, Jason Kidd just signed a three-year deal with the New York Knicks at the ripe old age of 39. He then proceeded to get drunk and crash his car into a telephone poll in the Hamptons. Maybe Kidd should have been the one to retire... Do you think Kobe Bryant should retire soon -- or keep playing?

I'm cool either way. He needs to do what's best for him. But for selfish reasons I wish he would keep playing. He is one of the greatest players to play the game and at his age he can still dominate in the NBA.reply - SilveryRow 2012/07/24 10:54:09Keep PlayingSpelling fail: it's telephone 'pole', not 'poll'...reply
- fireware0062 2012/07/23 17:28:57Retirehis basketball style of play is no more, he doesn't have that touch he once had anymore, after his incident in Colorado, he wasn't that player who brought "it" anymore, he should just walk away now save himself the embarressmentreply
- Tre firewar... 2012/07/25 15:02:37Don't know who you are taking about but the article was about Kobe Bryant. His style of play is still dominant. His touch is still elite and he brings it every game. And after the Colorado incident, he won 2 more NBA titles. The only embarrassment so far is your comment in which you either confused him with someone else or you are still mad and bitter about the Colorado incident.reply
- firewar... Tre 2012/07/26 15:10:52he's a freakin ball hog!! that's not being dominant, cry baby when the comes to closing the game, I speak the truth, YOUR comment is embarrassing, maybe not say anything anymore!reply
- Tre firewar... 2012/07/30 14:36:55He is a ball hog when he has sacrificed his game to get others involved for the last 3 or 4 yrs??? Yeah, you have no clue. If he was a ball hog, he would average 50 pts a game every season. And no one could stop him. And have you seen the Lakers play??! Who on that team can you depend on if he isn't shooting the ball? Personally I don't think he shoots the ball enough.reply

- Dave 007 2012/07/21 12:39:22Retire+1If he retires, ESPN will have to find a new NBA thug to force down our throats.reply
- Tre Dave 007 2012/07/25 15:04:34Kobe is far from a thug. Curious though, what is your definition of thug??? Just struggling tryinf to figure out how you brought thug into it.reply
- Dave 007 Tre 2012/08/04 12:28:41If there was no NBA, more than half of the players would be in jail. Those are thugs. And the NFL isn't too far behind.reply
- Tre Dave 007 2012/08/06 15:11:33I think your logic could apply to "corporate America" too instead of just the NBA or the NFL. To suggest Kobe Bryant is a thug or would be in jail without the NBA is absurd! You obviously aren't a fan of his or the nba or of sports period to make such an irresponsible comment. And since the NBA and NFL is mainly made up of black males, one would have to assume that's who you are calling thugs right??? You never really came out an answered my question.reply

- blkfeind101 2012/07/19 23:22:04 (edited)Retire+2-Usually I Would Say Keep Playing Just Because He's My Favorite Player, But I Think He Should Retire Because He Has Nothing Else To Prove. So What If He Doesn't Have As Many Or More Rings Than Jordan. He's Broken Records, Has Multiple Rings & Numerous Of Other Awards. There Is No Doubt That Kobe Will Go In The Hall Of Fame. I Think Its Time For Him To Let This Be A Young Mans Game & Retire, But He Will Always Be A Great!reply
- Titanium X 2012/07/19 21:15:01Retire+3He needs to retire and remain retired. Besides, it won't take him long to partake in dozens of other projects.reply

- fooley177 2012/07/19 17:14:38Retire+2By the age of 35 most basketball players are nowhere near as good as they used to be. Unless he wants to hang on and play at a diminished capacity, he should retire. Jason Kidd should have retired five years ago.reply
- American Nate 2012/07/19 17:05:19Keep Playing+1Play until you are 40-50, as long as you can shoot and play defense. but don't be like Favre and retire every year and come back.
reply - Aksana 2012/07/19 16:46:48Keep Playinghe should continue playing cause he's greatreply
- Patrick 2012/07/19 16:16:29Keep PlayingI think Kobe should keep playing until he get's so old he dies on the court.reply
- Metalingus67 2012/07/19 15:41:12Keep PlayingKobe is still on of the top players in the NBA. With the addition of Nash this year his stats should improve. However his bid for the Jordan tying 6th title is slipping away.reply

- Demarcu... jcadla 2012/07/22 05:52:55Think about it he's a superstar he can get any woman he wants why would he rape a white woman? She came to his room she wanted to have sex she got past his s security and she probably just wanted some of his moneyreply
- Tre jcadla 2012/07/25 14:56:16You just a hater or you one of those who still has a problem with black guys screwing white girls. He got too much money to have to rape someone. He got away with it cause he was innocent.reply
- jcadla Tre 2012/07/25 16:25:17
- Tre jcadla 2012/07/26 14:32:20Never said they were my heroes. And OJ has nothing to do with the topic. You are just stupid as hell if you believe Kobe raped that girl. And bitter. You blind if you dont think that whore was tryn to cash in. Maybe you would see it differently if you had money like that and someone cried rape when you no you didnt rape anyone. And you would definately feel bad when idiots like you accused you of raping the girl regardless of the truth.reply
