Who took his talents to Bordeaux, leading the French team to its first Bay of Biscay regional title and leaving the building blocks for many more, even though he never played another season in Europe? That’s right, you guessed it: A certain baller who goes by the name of Skibby MaRue, is who! True story.

Kobe has earned more than $196 million in his career. He’s obviously not doing this for the money. He’s doing it to sent the NBA a clear message that even one of its biggest stars will jump ship if they don’t move negotiations along… quickly.

Insightful…

The guy is not stupid and he knows his body, abilities and limitations so don’t look for him in Europe.
