Survey: Which players retire (or have retired) from the NBA each year?

Every year, the NBA dynasty disappears completely from the league. More often than not, that happens silently. But that wasn’t the case in 2016, there Kobe Bryant came out with Hollywood finishing with 60 points in the highly anticipated final game against the Utah Jazz.

Kobe wasn’t the only big-time NBA legend to end his career that season, as Tim Duncan again Kevin Garnett he left the game that year. In total, players who retired from the NBA that season combined for 71 All-Star appearances, making it the most decorated retirement class in league history.

How do other retirement classes compare to 2016? You can see for yourself below. (We’re starting in 2022 because we’re not sure if some of the 2023 guys like John Wall or Victor Oladipo are 100 percent done with the league).
