Τα "αστέρια" του μπάσκετ υποκλίθηκαν στον Κόμπε

Εν ενεργεία NBAers, πρώην συμπαίκτες και παλαίμαχοι σταρ αποθέωσαν μέσω twitter τον Κόμπε Μπράιαντ με αφορμή την απόφασή του να αποσυρθεί από την ενεργό δράση.

Με μια συγκινητική επιστολή, ο Κόμπε Μπράιαντ γνωστοποίησε την απόφασή του να βάλει τέλος στην καριέρα του μόλις ολοκληρωθεί η φετινή σεζόν.

Η ανακοίνωση του "Black Mamba" προκάλεσε... πανικό στο twitter, όπου εν ενεργεία παίκτες, πρώην συμπαίκτες του και παλαίμαχοι σταρ του μπάσκετ έκαναν ο καθένας το δικό του σχόλιο, αποθεώνοντας τον σούπερ σταρ των Λέικερς.

Hard to believe @kobebryant is finally going to hang it up. One of the NBA's great champions. Enjoy the rest of this season my friend.

One of the most under appreciated players to ever play is saying goodbye to the game he gave his all!… https://t.co/BOi32TOJQS

Much respect to @kobebryant as he announces his retirement after the season. A fierce competitor and one of the greatest to ever do it!

Kobe is the greatest competitor I have ever faced. I am glad he's found peace, I don't know if we ll see another like him. Enjoy the last 66

KB scored 56 on me in 3(!) qtrs my rookie year. Pushed me to be better more than any player I've faced. He has my ultimate hoops respect.

Never cried 4 retirements but probably will when Kobe does. & if my tears hold value then I would drop 1 for every single thing he showed us
