NOT


Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) set off a mild panic among Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) fans Friday afternoon when he selected "The Last Chapter" as the slogan that best represents his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon."The Last Chapter" sounds a lot like "The Last Stand," the quote Phil Jackson gave when he decided to return for his final season with the Lakers in 2010-11 and seemed to imply Bryant was thinking of retiring after next season.

Bryant
Far from it, a source told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Friday.
Bryant wants to be "back next season with a vengeance," the source said. And he wants "two more cracks at it to win seven NBA titles at least."
In other words, it's highly unlikely next season will be his last. Bryant andDerek Fisher (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/246/derek-fisher) lead all active players with five NBA titles, although the Spurs' Tim Duncan (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/215/tim-duncan) could tie them if San Antonio beats the Miami Heat (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/mia/miami-heat) in this year's Finals.
Bryant has always publicly maintained that he will play only while he's able to perform at an elite level. Next season is his final one under contract with the Lakers. A source with knowledge of the Lakers' thinking told ESPNLosAngeles.com that the team was planning to open extension talks with Bryant as soon as it was allowed to under NBA rules, which ironically came right after he ruptured his Achilles in a game against Golden State on April 12.
Both sides would love to see Bryant retire as a Laker, sources said. But the Achilles injury complicated the issue, especially the timing of talks about an extension.
It would be difficult for the Lakers to bring Bryant back at his current salary of $30 million a year with the salary-cap restrictions in the new collective bargaining agreement. But the team is determined to treat Bryant well and with the respect befitting his contributions to the franchise during his career, the source said.

Kobe couldn't get a white bitch at a Colorado ski lodge with a $100 bill hanging out of his zipper.

My understanding on jersey sales is that it's an NBA revenue that's shared, not just the Lakers or Kobe. His money would come from non-NBA stuff like shoes and trial lawyers.

If that's the case, it's in everyone's best interest that Kobe stay with the Lakers, as everyone else hates his fucking guts and he doesn't have the game to win them over like Lebron has.

I think Mike D perfects the SSOL offense this year and the Lakers ring with it proving once and for all that offense wins championships.
