His years as a professional athlete are over as he retired from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016.

But Kobe Bryant looked on top of his game as he showcased his buff physique in a pair of swim trunks in Italy on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old retired NBA legend enjoyed his vacation as he lounged by the pool and hung out with his family.

Kobe looked every inch the towering basketball player as his toned arms, protruding pectorals, and enviable abs.

While wearing a cute light blue pair of board shorts, the former Los Angeles Laker hung out on his balcony taking in the gorgeous weather.

He sported a black watch, retro shades, and a pair of sneakers as he took in the peacefulness of his surroundings.

Soon he moved down towards the pool where he stretched out over the rail.

To avoid the blazing hot Italian sun, Kobe relaxed on a lounger under an umbrella.

When the heat became too much, Kobe enjoyed a quick dip in the stunning pool, which he seemed to have all to himself.

Joining him on the vacation was wife Vanessa and their three daughters, Natalia, Gianna, and Bianka.
