Jeff Gordon, David Ortiz, Torii Hunter and, most recently, Kobe Bryant are among the prominent athletes who have announced their impending retirements recently.

If you're a hard-core gambler who wants to wager on who is next in line, Sports Betting Dime has a prop bet for you. And the strongest odds: The Wolves' Kevin Garnett, at 3 to 2.

It should be noted that Garnett signed a two-year contract this past offseason — not a one-year deal like the site suggests — and most athletes are loathe to walk away from guaranteed money. That said, here is the entire list.
