CP3, Melo & DWade Give Kobe Retirement Gifts at Secret ASW Dinner

All-Star Game Basketball Kobe Melo Wade

Kobe Bryant is making the most of his retirement tour and some of his closest peers took him out during All-Star weekend to celebrate the Mamba hanging it up.

During an exclusive All-Star weekend dinner, dubbed the Gentlemen’s Supper Club, the group exchanged words of admiration and respect for one of the NBA’s all-time best while also providing him tokens of their esteem and affection.

For Dwyane Wade, that meant gifting the Black Mamba a hobby of sorts. The Miami Heat legend provided No. 24 a year-long Netflix subscription as a wink to the extra hours he’d have to himself.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul was even less subtle about his allusions to Bryant’s elder status; he bestowed upon the fellow California icon a cane, compression socks, reading glasses and dental adhesive.

Fortunately, Carmelo Anthony’s offering considerably softens the blow. As a tribute to his Italian ties, the New York Knicks star presented the 37-year-old with a magnum of Gaja Barbaresco wine.

It always nice to see a future Hall of Famer go out on his own terms.
