Its always hard to say goodbye, it's even harder to say goodbye to a legend. Kobe Byrant, who has helped the Lakers win five NBA championships over a 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, has announced on sunday that he will be retiring after this season, "this season is all I have left to give"
Its not just hard for the fans to say bye, but for his fellow opponents. Lebron James said knowing this will be Kobe Byrant's last season is "truly sad for me" and that he regrets that they never faced off in the NBA Finals. "I didn't hold up my end of the bargain in 2009 for the fans, for us, to meet in the Finals," James said Tuesday, looking back on the 2008-09 season when his Cleveland Cavaliers led the league with a 66-16 record and Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers were right behind him at 65-17. "I know the world wanted to see it. I wanted it, we wanted it. He held up his end and I didn't hold up my end, and I hate that. I hate that that didn't happen."
