I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

It is a pity that Kobe got that achilles injury. Such a disastrous injury to get late in his career.

He could have easily played another few years at a good level if not for that injury.

Overrated and arguably never the best player on any of his championship teams, but still undeniably had a top 20 NBA career.

I'll miss him as a player and competitor - among the best of all time.

If he sticks to this choice - which I'm sure he will - the NBA will be worse off, IMO.

One less Alpha Dog left. Next to follow will be Tim, Dirk, KG, and Paul. Once they are gone I'll miss them all.

Hate him.  Glad he'll be done.   Right to the end he causes anguish -- helping to keep the Lakers so bad that they'll get another top 3.

Then i would agree for the sake of the draft pick

Good Riddance----hope the Lakers start winning some games this season....but highly doubtful, since Kobe will take ALL the shots now.

Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

the overwhelmingly negative reaction here is shocking. i get that we are celtics fans but, cmon now. this guy is one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. stop being disrespectful and show the man some respect.

when pierce retires, the reaction from lakers fans wont be as disrespecful as it was here, show some f-ing humility and respect [dang it].
