Check Out Kobe Bryant and Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson’s chat on Scoop B Radio
Many fantasize of the idea that Kobe Bryant should have gone out on top like Michael Jordan after the Bulls’ second three-peat in 1998 or Peyton Manning’s sayonara after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos.
Peyton, unlike Kobe, had a supporting cast that also included a kick your, ‘rhymes with glass,’ defense.
Kobe’s farewell tour in 2016 was more like Derek Jeter’s retirement tour with the New York Yankees a few years ago.
Bryant is okay with not finishing like Peyton.
“It would have been amazing,” Bryant told me in a Scoop B Radio chat.

“But you know, it just wasn’t meant to be. But at the same time, I couldn’t complain about it. I’ve enjoyed winning to the tune of five championships and been very fortunate to have those. Most players haven’t been able to get one. So, you gotta be able to take the good with the bad.”
