A few weeks ago, Kobe Bryant talked about his contract being up in two years, and possibly retiring.
According to Pro Basketball Talk:
“My aim is to play until I’m 40 years old and I believe I can do that. This year, we added very good players to our squad. Steve Nash, Dwight Howard will make us stronger. Right now, things are not going very well but I believe it’ll get better soon.”
“During the lock-out, I had offers from Turkey and other countries. Beşiktaş was interested in me and they had talks with my agent, but I want to use the lock-out time to recover from my injuries and spend more time with my family so I turned the offers down. Who knows, maybe one day I play basketball in Turkey.”
I had no doubt Kobe would continue to play after this current contract runs out. Kobe doesn’t play for the money, he loves the game period.
