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.
Bryant believes that once a player finds his passion, everything else will work itself out. Being one of the more respected figures in sports, players would do well to take his advice.
