In 2006, Ronaldinho Said He Would Introduce Kobe To The Best Player Of All Time. It Was Messi

Kobe Bryant has retired, and as much as basketball fans will miss him and his unadulterated desire to win, we all now get to experience what I like to call “Victory Lap Kobe.” Victory Lad Kobe sells out stadiums everywhere he goes, because even the away fans of his most hated rivals still want to see the legend one in action last time.

Victory Lap Kobe has a certain appreciation of everything that’s going on around him because he knows everything he does could end up being the last time he does it, and he might not even know it at the time.

How Does Brady vs Manning Compare To Messi vs Ronaldo?

Sunday marks what could be the end of an era, as the NFL sees two of its greatest players face off for likely the final time: Brady vs Manning.

NFL fans around the world should realize how lucky they've been to have watched two of football's greatest players. (The same thing said of David Bowie by Twitter's @JeSuisDean holds true for this rivalry: "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as Brady vs Manning.")

A 17-Year-Old Lionel Messi Puts On An Exhibition In This Rare Video

The 2004/05 season saw the introduction of Lionel Messi to the world of football. While Messi managed only 7 league appearances for the senior team, totaling 77 minutes of action, he was a guaranteed starter for the reserve side, Barcelona B. The boy from Rosario ensured that the senior team payed exceedingly close attention to his development with performances like this.

The World's Most Heartbreaking Messi Fan Made A Jersey Out Of A Plastic Bag

Sometimes we forget how truly global soccer's reach is, how extremely footballing superstars have burrowed into the global consciousness. Then we see a picture of a toddler (here we are just guessing) Messi fan wearing a plastic bag painted to look like a Lionel Messi Argentina jersey. 

Messi Puts The Importance Of Being Named Best Player In The World Into Perspective

Lionel Messi just took home his 5th Ballon d’Or, more than any other player in history. He is being hailed as the greatest player of all time, again. The world of football is his oyster today, but still he still feels he lacks something according to Messi's comments on the Ballon d'Or.

Messi Won The Ballon d'Or, But This Picture Will Live in Infamy

Messi won his fifth Ballon d'Or Monday, but his victory may have been overshadowed by the real star of the show, a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo greeting Messi's girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, with Messi looking on awkwardly and Neymar looking like he's about to hop out of his seat and punch Ronaldo in the face.

Lionel Messi Won The Ballon d'Or Because LOL Why Would They Pick Someone Else

Lionel Messi is your 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner. Oh, come on, who did you think it was going to be?

Tiger Woods' Kids Say They Want To Be Like Messi

For better or worse, Tiger Woods is the most famous golfer of all time. It is no exaggeration to say that he changed the entire sport. Watching Tiger in his Sunday-red was must-see TV for networks and people across the country alike. He paved the way for the game’s young talent to make the breakthrough into stardom. But he hasn’t won over his own kids! It turns out Tiger Woods' kids want to be like a different superstar athlete.

Video: Messi Hilariously Nutmegs Luis Suarez In Training

If you played sports while growing up, there is a good chance that you had that one friend (hopefully that was you), who was miles ahead of the other kids in terms of skill.

That kid who would nutmeg everybody while playing around with the soccer ball, cross people over and leave them on the floor on the basketball court, or even juke you out of your shoes in a pickup football game. We all went through something like that at some point of our sporting careers.

Messi Scored An Amazing Free Kick, So The Keeper Stomped On Him. It Didn’t Stop Messi.

Lionel Messi apparently gets under his rivals' skin. I suppose being ridiculously good will do that. 

Yesterday in the Copa del Rey against Espanyol, Messi scored an absolutely absurd free kick. Espanyol keeper Pau Lopez set up his wall perfectly, positioned himself perfectly, and reacted to it perfectly, but was still left grasping for air as the kick sailed through the air, off the crossbar, and down in the the goal.
