Atlanta knows something about athletes retiring after 20 years with the same team: hint Chipper Jones.
Tonight is Kobe Bryant's final game as a Los Angeles Laker. The 18-time All-Star has won five championships. He ranks 8th in NBA history in points per per game (34.5) and at one point scored 81 (Jan. 22, 2006).
"Black Mamba" is a nickname Bryant gave himself after watching Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill,” in which the aggressive snake's name was used as a code name for a deadly assassin.
Nike gathered alums to ask their impressions of Bryant. Declaring today MambaDay, some of today's top athletes used words like "comptetitor," "example" and "[expletive]" to decribe the longtime Laker.
So on this day, what one word would you use to describe Bryant? (Keep it clean, please.)
