“Your NBA money will run out”: When Lakers legend Kobe Bryant gave excellent investment advice to retired NBA players to save their dollars

In 2013, Kobe Bryant co-founded Bryant Stibel a venture capital fund. Kobe shared his investment advice for retired NBA superstars.

Kobe Bryant was one of the most influential superstars in NBA history. Retiring at the age of 37, he found much success off the court as he did on it. The five-time NBA Champion was one of the few stars to find success in his post-playing career.

Luckily, Kobe has not been stingy with his knowledge. The Black Mamba shared his investment advice to retired NBA players in 2016 when he appeared on CNBC.

Kobe Bryant had just co-founded Bryant Stibel three years earlier alongside Jeff Stibel. His advice was sound, as he suggested that retired stars look for something to invest in that instills passion, rather than something that generates value or revenue.
