Research: Which players retired (or were retired) from the NBA each year?

Every year, NBA royalty disappears from the league for good. More often than not, that happens quietly. But that was not the case in 2016, when Kobe Bryant went out with a Hollywood ending by scoring 60 points in a widely expected final game against the Utah Jazz.

Kobe was not the only big-time NBA legend to finish their career that season, as Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett left the game that year too. All in all, the players who retired from the NBA that season combined for 71 All-Star appearances, which makes it easily the most decorated retirement class in league history.

How do other retirement classes compare to 2016? You can see for yourself below. Along with every All-Star, we also highlight notable players from each class who never made

an NBA All-Star team. For recent classes, the lists include both officially retired players and veterans whose NBA careers appear to be over, while the ongoing 2026 class is limited to confirmed retirements. The list goes back to 1951, the year the NBA held its first All-Star Game.
