It’s been over a year and half since Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant hung up his sneakers and went into retirement. It’s never an easy task for someone to start over, especially after 20 years of the same routine as Bryant went through during his NBA career.

However, Kobe Bryant has coped fairly well with life off the court. He even shared his new daily routine as a retired NBA superstar, which involves a good amount of time with his family.

“I work out 5 o'clock every morning. Take the kids to school. Get some breakfast with my wife. Go to the office, work there. Pick the kids up. And then from there it's just volleyball here, or basketball here or soccer there. That's my routine.”

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that even in retirement, the serial workaholic that is Bryant is still getting up at the break of dawn — even though he doesn’t have to — in order to get a workout in. But he has to occupy his time somehow, which is why he's also keeping busy at an office even though he has more than enough money to never work another day in his life.

Meanwhile, it must be nice for him to finally get to spend time with his wife and kids after years of being away from them due to the rigorous schedule of the NBA, while also being free to do whatever else he feels like doing. It’s the kind of life most people can only dream of and it’s one that Kobe Bryant has more than earned following a terrific career.
