Entering his 20th season, the most of any player in history has spent playing for one franchise, Kobe Bryant is looking to end his career on a high note. In 2015, the five time NBA champion and a two times NBA Finals MVP surpassed his idol<\/strong> Michael Jordan<\/a> on the all-time scoring list and moved into third place<\/strong> behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone.<\/p>\n Bryant, a Philadelphia native, but a purple and gold Laker legend<\/a> through and through, is hoping he can write a little bit more history before hanging up the sneakers for good. Bryant’s injury woes in recent years have seen him fall from one of the top three players in the game to a living and still actively playing legend<\/strong>, that just can’t carry his team on his own any more.<\/p>\n “ Kobe end his career on a high note ”<\/p>\n The Lakers lost their winning<\/strong> ways after a long time owner Dr Jerry Buss<\/a> passed away in 2013. His son Jim Buss took over the team, but hasn’t managed to put together a winning team since.<\/p>\n Bryant’s input was appreciated<\/strong>, however with his career inevitably coming to a conclusion, Jim Buss made a myriad of confusing and contradicting moves which saw the Lakers fall from grace<\/strong> and out of the playoff contention.<\/p>\n Bryant, being the ultimate competitor with a fierce attitude and a merciless approach to the game, will do everything in his power<\/strong> to get the Purple and Gold back into postseason, and maybe, just maybe, break a few personal scoring records in the process.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nLuh8u6xJjY<\/p>\n Salary\/Earnings: $0,6 million<\/strong> Another fading golf superstar, Tiger Woods, has made the Forbes top 10 highest paid athletes list<\/strong>, without netting even a single million from his golf tournament earnings ($0,6 million). However, his commercial deals are very healthy, and his brand <\/a>untarnished, as he netted an impressive $50 million<\/strong> from endorsements alone.<\/p>\n Woods, once a dominant force in the world of golf, spent 264 weeks from August 1999 to September 2004 and another 281 weeks from June 2005 to October 2010 as the world number one. His highly publicized divorce due to extramarital indiscretions in 2010 somehow contributed to the seemingly permanent loss of his golf form<\/strong>, and the subsequent fall of his ranking. However, Woods’ phenomena does not seem to fade, despite his ranking sliding uncontrollably. He is still the biggest draw in the history of golf<\/strong>, and deservedly so, considering how prolific his game was for more than a decade. In total, Woods’ net worth<\/strong> is estimated at around $600 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\nLaker legend<\/h3>\n
