While nobody realistically thought Bryant was going to announce his retirement via closed circuit television at a charitable event, Kobe still addressed the retirement rumors on Twitter after the event.
Really?? Me. Retire?? Soon, but not yet Vino still has work to do #35 #OG #kbvff

In typical Kobe fashion, he kept the fans on the edge of their seats until the very end before announcing his true intentions.
