Bryant announced his retirement Sunday night on the Players’ Tribune Sunday afternoon. He’s played for the Lakers since he signed as an 17-year old in 1996, and holds franchise records in points and games played, among others.

But injuries limited him to only 41 games over the last two seasons. The Lakers have also fallen on hard times, finishing in last place each of the last two years. They’ve had a rough start this season also, with a 2-14 record.
