The second we knew Kobe was retiring, we were trying to plan out his next step for him. People threw out coach, GM, and talking head on ‘Inside the NBA’. The Game says Kobe should hold off on making any decisions quite yet and relax with his family, which after really thinking about it, I agree.
For someone who has worked as hard as Kobe has, he needs to relax just as hard. He can still wake up everyday and workout, but tying himself up to a full-time job seems counterproductive.
The transition looks seamless from hardwood to panel seat on TV, but there is a lot of time and work that goes into it. Don’t even tell me Kobe would half-ass anything either. If he is going to do it, he will want to be the best.
It makes too much sense for Kobe to continue his film career, because of the flexibility that comes with it. He can be a part of it and have his name out there without having his entire life consumed.
