Kobe Bryant's First Post-Retirement Interview

Feb 27, 2020
Congratulations on the last game that was. Thank you. You couldn't have dreamed of something like that, could you? I'm not sure. I mean I couldn't believe it had actually happened. Right now I was really here and this is the game. Yes. It was really a strange feeling. I know when you were dating, I mean you must have been excited when you woke up that day, right? No, it was pretty quiet. Because you don't really realize it. So when I entered the arena and do you feel the electricity? Yes. And you start to feel a little nostalgic.

Yes. Then you realize that everyone is here to see this final game. Don't stink. Yes. Yes. It's like you have to make sure, and then I go out and miss my

first

five shots. I was like uh-oh. Yeah, well, that's the thing, so it could really ruin you because if you don't hit it right away, then you'd think you'd fall apart. Yeah, but in the last game, you just say you know what? I'm going to go out and let it all loose. And when you see all those celebrities, I mean they're there a lot of times anyway, but does that distract you at all when you look and see someone?

No, they haven't and they said, Dad, where did that come from? And I was like, well, honey, I used to be pretty good back in the day when you were like that. They thought it was pretty impressive. I think it's best for them that I leave right now and not completely embarrass them. By not dancing pathetically. Do you really never dance? Or maybe I did. No, you didn't. It was a loot. It was a little. You can't go wrong if you just pose and do that. Correct. That's what I imagined. I'm sticking with my one-two, you know what I mean?

Make sure you don't completely embarrass my kids. Do you ever dance? Yes. Of course. You do it. Yes, but I'm a better dancer sitting down. Everyone is. Do you know what I'm saying? From now on this does not work. But up here I could sit and dance all day. You think things like. Like me and Twitch like you feel like I could fight Twitch and like Yeah. Maybe I'll win or something. But once I get up it doesn't connect. Wow when you sit down do you do that with your hand? Yeah, I like doing that and it's like he knows what he's doing, but no, I don't.
You know what you're doing. You have. Nobody sits down and dances doing that. We all just shake our heads, that's all we do. Yes, listen. Hey, if you ever want to have a sit-down dance battle, I'm all for it. I'm down. I'm down. I think we'd all like to see that. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. So Shaq was here the other day on your last day. And he said that basically they weren't fighting, they were just inspiring each other and pushing each other to work harder. Yes. Is that what happened? No, I didn't really like it too much.
You didn't like it? No, I'm joking. He is- Are you? No, I am. But we challenge each other a lot. Mm-hm. And I think that in any environment you want to be in, the people around you aren't just going to tell you what you want to hear. Mm-hm. I mean they're going to be honest with you. Yes. We certainly were that with each other. Yes and are you friends now? Yes, we get along very well. Yes. Yes, we don't share the same work environment either. Yes, that's always good. Yeah, well, you're amazing and thank you for being here for the

first

interview

.
We'll take a break and more with Kobe and a surprise a little later that will be fun for all of us to see. How many times have you seen that? Did you go home and see it? Sometimes, yes. Yes. But I'm a basketball nerd. I went back and looked at it and felt like I was picking it apart. My footwork was bad there. Or I should have done that. Well, there are no more idiots. Yes. So it doesn't really matter at this point. No. But I think everyone does that. We all look at ourselves and see things that no one else sees.
Yeah. But that was amazing, and it must be a lot of fun to do it, and then look back on it, but then I don't regret it. Good? Do you think this is the right time? Yes, that's fine with me. I feel very blessed to be able to say that. I just don't want to play anymore. It's not like my body is forcing me to go out. I don't want to do it anymore. I'm ready to move on. And will you continue playing recreationally? Good. Yes, probably. Yeah, I guess you have a court at your house.
I do. So you just go out and shoot hoops? Yes, yes, me, my wife and our children, we will go out and shoot. And a- Is your wife good? Yes, she can shoot, actually. Really. She can shoot, my kids can shoot too, so. Really. Yes. Would you like your children to dedicate themselves to this profession? Man, if they wanted, if they wanted. Do they do it? Well, the little guy is very, very competitive. And she likes playing sports, so we'll see, her oldest loves playing volleyball, so we'll see.
