Steve: And now we have Kobe Bryant joining us on AM570KLAC K Los
Angeles California and Orange County. Kobe, How you doing man?
Kobe: Ummm.. Doing alright man.
Steve: Alright.
Mychal: Really, you sound kind of down Kobe.
Kobe: It’s a tough day man.
Mychal: Yeah, it is this is a shock, this is a 9.9 on the rector
scale out here. As far as the Lakers are concerned. And I never I’d
see the day come or here this day happen. Kobe. What made you arrive
at this decision?
Kobe: ahhh… it’s the hole insider thing!! Prior too.. Prior too…
