Almost six months after his last NBA game and finishing his stellar 20-year career, Kobe Bryant is now busy trying to venture in a new business and spending time with his family.
He was recently seen in an event for the launch of his latest signature shoe and answered the question if whether or not he misses playing the game at the highest level. Per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne:
“Not even a little bit.”
“It's strange to think a couple years ago, to be in this emotional space would be unfathomable. But I mean not even a smidge, which I'm very thankful for, because it's made my transition seamless and I can really just watch and just enjoy the games.”
And when asked if he's been watching the games so far this season and what he thinks of the incredible performances from Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Leonard, he had this to say:
“I've been following it. I wouldn't say closely, but if I'm home and I have a chance to put the game on, and I'm home, I'll put the game on. I kind of know generally who is winning and who is losing.”
“Players have been playing phenomenally well, which is rare. Normally at the start of the season you kind of have to work yourself into a rhythm. This year they just came out of the gates smoking. That's rare.”
It may seem like the 38-year-old Los Angeles Lakers legend has lost the fire he has when he was still playing, but it's also hard to imagine him not channeling all his competitive nature to another passion. If it's being a businessman, it won't be surprising at all if he'll be a successful one just like how he was as a basketball player.
