Kobe Bryant of Los Angeles Lakers says he has not made retirement decision
- 9 years ago
Kobe Bryant will face the question on an almost daily basis over the next seven months.
Will this be his final NBA season?
It's the most dominant storyline surrounding the team and Bryant, who at 37 is entering his 20th season with the Los Angeles Lakers, an NBA record for the most seasons a player has spent with one franchise.
And it was the main topic Bryant faced time and again during the team's media day, held Monday at its practice facility.
Bryant repeated the same message he has delivered all offseason, saying he has not made a decision and that he's not sure what will ultimately sway him one way or the other.
"If it is, it is," Bryant said.
"If it isn't, I'll be ready for next season.
I don't spend too much time thinking about it.
I've got enough to think about."
