There are just 16 games remaining in the Kobe Bryant experience, and Bryant's post-basketball plans are still a bit of a mystery.

Bryant created Kobe Inc. in 2013, and later formed Kobe Studios with vague plans to "create stories." He also happens to be the "editorial director" of Derek Jeter's Players' Tribune, but it's unclear how much work that entails.

In an interview with TSN's Cabbie Richards, Bryant embraced the idea of becoming a gamer and destroying people online in Halo 5.

Kobe Bryant a gamer?
Kobe Bryant is given a retirement card (from all of Canada) and considers becoming a #gamer in retirement to feed his competitiveness. #Halo5 is a game he might enjoy. In the end, Bryant imagines a space outside his fictional museum, the “MoMA” (Museum of Mamba Art) for Cabbie Richards to inhabit...with a special guest.

Kobe even has an idea in mind for his gamertag: "Mamba Vino."
