Kobe Bryant seems to be very uncertain as to when he plan on retiring. He’s only 34 years old, but he has 17 years worth of NBA miles on his body. His game hasn’t fallen off all that much but I wonder how much desire he has left or how much he wants to accomplish.
At the very least, we know he’d probably like to pass Michael Jordan on the scoring list and tie him for 6 rings. Those both seem likely and are attainable within a 5 year span, but does Kobe plan to be around that long?
Kobe Bryant played 48 minutes on Wednesday night in a 113-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the second win for the Lakers on back-to-back nights….
At 34 years old, Bryant certainly doesn’t look like a player whose career is winding down.
“I can probably play another five years,” said Bryant to Kevin Frazier on “Connected With…Kobe Bryant,” which aired on Wednesday night via Time Warner Cable SportsNet.
“I’m not saying I’m going to play five years…but physically I could play,” he continued.
The bigger question is “Will he?”
“Right now, no,” said Bryant, who has one more year left on his contract. “It might change but right now, no. It’s too much.”
