Kobe to join the BIG3? Why it makes sense

Article by Antwon "Smitty" Smith

Kobe Bryant has been in the headlines a lot the last couple of days, and it's safe to say that the hits just keep on coming for the retired NBA star as rumors have surfaced that he will play in the Big 3 league in 2019.

The league's co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz announced that "Kobe will play in the BIG3 next season" during a conference call on Tuesday morning according to multiple reports.

Bryant 39, played his last game in the NBA in April of 2016 after 0 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, has started to venture into the business world after retirement and now he might step back into the spotlight (slightly). Stephen Jackson called out Bryant to "suit up" and join the Big3, so now fans are waiting on Kobe to go public and give an answer as far as his plans to play or not.

Getting Bryant to play in the league would help it gain bigger notoriety and put them on a bigger platform where other retired players would possibly join and help expand the league. Ice Cube tried recruiting Bryant when the league took off in 2017, so now he may get his wish and come up with the next phase of the league. He admitted that adding Bryant would be "Amazing."

The Falcons drafting a running back could be a smart move

What will the Atlanta Falcons do at #26?

The Atlanta Falcons are two years post-Super Bowl appearance and they still have a nice window to return there. They have some holes to fill on both sides of the ball, whether it's to find a starter or to add depth at key positions. I think they could use the #26 pick in the first round of the draft to add depth at defensive tackle, right guard, tight end or free safety. Grady Jarrett needs a big body on the other side of him, with Dontari Poe hitting free agency Atlanta has to get a space eater/gap filler that helps in the run game. Austin Hooper has been a good addition to the Falcons offense, but still needs to grow and Atlanta needs reliable hands in the red zone. Wes Schweitzer has not been consistent and has seen some bad snaps that could land him as a role player. This could be the position the Falcons could use the 26th pick but that still remains to be seen. The Falcons need depth at the safety with the team releasing Ishmael and R...

The NBA has some of the best athletes in sports but when it comes to playing basketball, some players stand out and know how to take their game to another level.
