Dwyane Wade bought Kobe a Netflix subscription
What do you buy as a retirement present for the man who has everything?
Unlimited access to movies and TV shows, of course.
During Kobe Bryant's final All-Star weekend, friend Dwyane Wade gifted the Black Mamba with a one-year subscription to Netflix to kill some of that free time, according to the Associated Press' Tim Reynolds.
The Miami Heat star also gifted Kobe with a customized robe and other clothes with his logo so he can veg out in comfort.
"Respect. That's what it was," explained Wade. "It was about respect, ours for him and the respect he's given us. I just wanted to tell him that his respect meant a lot, means a lot, to my career. I went down a list of moments, gave people insight on Kobe and the way he thinks. It was just appreciation, man. His drive, his competitiveness, it helped me early in my career because I wanted to be on his level."
Not to be outdone, Los Angeles Clippers star Chris Paul gave the league veteran some other useful items: reading glasses, dental adhesive, a cane, and compression socks.
