When Kobe tore his Achilles the Kobe we knew was gone.
It classic Kobe fashion he hit two free throws with a blown out Achilles. Look at any athlete who has torn their Achilles in any sport, they don’t get up and certainly they don’t walk around without help.
Kobe almost had a triple double tonight as the Lakers beat the Pistons, but it cost him.
Kobe said in on-court interview w/ TWC that his back felt pretty stiff and legs weren’t great either. I’d be surprise if he plays tomorrow.

Kobe: "I’m barely standing up. My back & my legs, it’s killing me.” He added, "I'm not looking forward to walking to the car. Seriously."

I think Kobe knows this is it, he doesn’t want a retirement tour, but that is what he is going to get, just not an official one.
