Kobe Bryant thinks this is his last year, but ‘you never know’
Kobe Bryant admitted on Saturday that he’s currently looking at this season as his last, but left the door open for him to change his mind.
Bryant told reporters that at the moment, he figures this is his final season in the NBA, but he didn’t rule out another season.
Kobe: "If you asked me today, I'd say this would be my last year. But you never know."

This isn’t really new, as Bryant said roughly the same thing in August. At the moment he doesn’t seem to have changed his tune. It remains unlikely we’re going to get any definitive decision during the season as well, as Bryant seems comfortable to play it by ear and see how he feels as the year goes on. The only thing Bryant has said with any real certainty is that he won’t play for anyone other than the Lakers.
