Yesterday, Kobe Bryant announced what we all knew, but didn't want to admit. This season will be his last.

This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

I'll have to make time to catch a few more Lakers games, just for the occasional flash of brilliance that reminds you of the player Kobe once was. I don't think we'll ever see another player quite like Kobe, and that's a damn shame.
