If you thought the star-studded, champagne-drenched Kobe extravaganza at the Staples Center was crazy last night, you should have seen the after-party.
Kobe Bryant celebrated his retirement by going directly back to work the next morning
“It’s a school night.” -Kobe Bryant, probably
Haha, just kidding. Kobe refused to go out so he could wake up early the next day to work.
I'm told there were plans for a post-game party for Kobe and team to celebrate his career. But won't happen. Kobe waking up early for work

Wait, work? Didn’t he just retire?
"I gotta go workout tomorrow. I gotta go find a new routine. It gives you a sense of purpose and it gives you a plan." Kobe Bryant
