Kobe Bryant is certainly enjoying his retirement by the looks of it.

The Los Angeles Lakers icon was photographed in his swimming apparel where it was made apparent Bryant had gained some weight since saying goodbye to the NBA in 2016.

Bryant poked fun at himself by sharing the photo on Instagram with a promise to slim down within 30 days, but he deleted the picture almost immediately and replaced it with a blackout.
