00:00:05.129 --> 00:00:08.659
With five championship rings, seven team NBA all star 

2
00:00:08.659 --> 00:00:12.089
appearances, Kobe Bryant says his retirement will still 

3
00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:14.619
come with some regrets. The Lakers guard discussed 

4
00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:16.879
his career on Good Morning America on Wednesday 

5
00:00:17.019 --> 00:00:19.549
and told Robin Roberts his championship magic 

6
00:00:19.549 --> 00:00:23.709
number was eight. But it just didn't work out that way. I 

7
00:00:23.709 --> 00:00:26.679
wanted eight championships as a dreamy kid. Growing 

8
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.209
up in the early I wanted eight. Why eight? Because 

9
00:00:29.209 --> 00:00:33.339
Magic had five. And then Michael had six. And I said 

10
00:00:33.339 --> 00:00:35.839
okay, I want eight. And had a opportunity to have 

11
00:00:35.839 --> 00:00:39.859
seven. Didn't work out. With the Lakers struggling this 

12
00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.514
season, Bryant has taken his fair share of criticism. 

13
00:00:42.514 --> 00:00:45.929
And he talked about handling the bad press. You've 

14
00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:48.009
got to be able to take the good with the bad. One of 

15
00:00:48.009 --> 00:00:50.469
the most important things that I can share with the 

16
00:00:50.469 --> 00:00:53.499
younger generation is to accept it all. I don't have any 

17
00:00:53.499 --> 00:00:57.139
expectations or to lean on or to rely on positive 

18
00:00:57.749 --> 00:01:00.669
Reporting on your career are negative. The Lakers are 

19
00:01:00.669 --> 00:01:03.529
currently in last place in the Western Conference and 

20
00:01:03.529 --> 00:01:06.859
gave the 76ers their first win of the season on Tuesday 

21
00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:07.459
night. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
