The Los Angeles Lakers have leaned heavily on Kobe Bryant this season and there has been talk about his career nearing it's end.
However, the future Hall of Famer said this week that he could play several more seasons.
"I could play another five years," Bryant said. "That's not to say I will."

He's hunting Jabbar, like he hunted Daddy. Seriously, what else is he gonna do? Sit on the TnT set with those assholes? Sit at home with wide load & those Brillo Pad headed kids? No. He'll run Jabbar to ground, then run himself into the ground setting enough of a buffer on James/Durant, et al so he doesn't end up like Rose, walkin' the floors over Jeter.

Stil not beating Daddy, much less Duncan, for alpha rings.

Daddy: 3
Kobe: 2
Tired old shit bag Duncan: 4

Kobe needs to go away after next season tbh...at some point I've got to start living my life and I thought it would have been after his retirement next season...5 more years of chasing him while he chases Jabbar I just don't think I can handle it... go away Kobe

Kobe cares way too much about his stats, records, and individual achievements to retire anytime soon. He'll play for another 3 years at least.

That's it in a nutshell. He made his bones in '10, settled all family business with Daddy, et al. He'll ring again if it falls into his lap, but, he's comfortable now. He's got it all on his CPU at the house, (what he has, what is needed, how long it'll take, and most importantly who can come and get him after he does retire. He wants to seal that off so he can feel secure in retirement.

The question is, how much money would he be getting on a new contract? "Only" 20 mil probably because he's such a team player

I don't think he really cares where he conducts his assault on the record books from. If it can be from Los Angeles, fine, but, he's singularly driven now like he was before '10 and Daddy still walked the earth. Daddy is dead now and Bryant has moved on to the record books. Every point, every % definition is the consumption point for him.

his ego will hurt his longevity imho. if dude COULD accept a smaller role on his team (like duncan does with them spurs) it would be possible for him to play 5 more years, but his ego won't allow him to do so.

[Baseline]

his ego will hurt his longevity imho. if dude COULD accept a smaller role on his team (like duncan does with them spurs) it would be possible for him to play 5 more years, but his ego won't allow him to do so. Exactly. Which is what he should be doing on this current team, but he's not. All his talk about retiring is simply positioning the media so he can get a long-term extension. Problem is, LA is trying to re-sign Dwight right now. And Bryant can't stand any talk about anybody other than him, so he's yakking about retiring. Believe me, he's already working all this behind the scenes. Mitch knows that Dwight hates Bryant's guts (as do all his teammates except for Artest, who's too stupid to get it). But if Bryant can convince Dwight to re-sign, in Mitch's mind that's worth giving Bryant an extension, even if it's for crazy numbers. So what Bryant will try to do is take the credit for "talking to Dwight, getting him to understand, and re-signing with LA." And then Bryant will leverage that into a new extension for himself that will be beyond insane. Honestly, I don't see Bryant taking a paycut unless they give him a 5yr/100 mil deal, or maybe a 4yr/80 mil. That's the only way he takes a paycut....if they give him two years longer than anybody else in their right mind would give him.
