“My heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind. But my body knows it's time to say goodbye,” wrote Bryant, the third-leading scorer in NBA history. “And that's OK. I'm ready to let you go. I want you to know now. So we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad. We have given each other all that we have.”
