    "quitting basketball" seems like the wrong choice of words for that tweet. Anyways, good for Kobe. For as much as I hated the guy sometimes, ya gotta acknowledge the greatness that has been his career. 5 time champ, multiple MVPs. What more could you ask for?

    He knows that his ball hogging is going to scare off star free agents, so he announces his retirement then slithers back on a min contract after the Lakers sign a couple of max players.

    I don't see this tweet. Did he delete it? Don't see how a NYC TV anchor could break this when the Laker reporters feeds are silent.

    OP didn't make it up. Rob Nelon posted it at 4:42 P.M. He apparently pulled the tweet shortly thereafter.

    Can totally see Kobe being the Brett Farve of the NBA. Retire...comeback...retire...comeback.

    Don't worry he will announce his comeback 2 years after his retirement.

    End of an era. For all of his controversy, he was still a transcendental player.
