COJ: Our Kobe Bryant farewell suggestion


With the news of Kobe Bryant's pending retirement a lot of people have made a point to praise the career of the future Hall of Famer, and do their best to supress that they've always thought that he was a real jerk, quite the ball hog regardless of the caliber of talent surrounding him, and about as unlikeable as it gets.

Do not count Danny Ainge in that camp. My man is not shedding any tears over the NBA's "loss" and he's not about to go through the motions either.



For those who are unable to watch the video, a bullet-point summary of his exchange w/ Toucher & Rich
  •  Hasn't discussed doing anything for Kobe's last game in Boston
  • Not a fan of farewell tours, prefers players to go quietly into the night
  • Would take Tim Duncan over Kobe Bryant
That's, uh, pret-tay, pret-tay perfect. As Celtics fans, we've spent the past 19 years hating Kobe Bryant. Why should we celebrate his accomplishments? When a tyrannical leader falls, your first thought isn't 'What a run, though', right?

So since the Celtics organization has yet to discuss any Kobe tributes, I've decided to take some initiative. I'd like to present you with the definitive Kobe Bryant farewell video



Kobe sucks, Lakers suck, I'm out.
