Bryant was cheered wildly in a 99-95 loss at the NY Knicks on Sunday and heard “M-V-P” chants at the free throw line.
After an impressive second-half performance against the Toronto Raptors, the Miami Heat will continue on their seven-game home-stand against the Los Angeles Lakers, the illustrious franchise that may be headed to the lottery for a third consecutive year. “I’m a Laker for life”, he said.
If Bryant didn’t do it his first 19 seasons, he won’t start now.
Despite showing signs of slowing down, Bryant feels confident he can bring something to the team if able to earn a spot on the Team United States of America roster in June. “I try not to do anything different. That never crossed my mind, because I just thought that it’s never going to end anywhere”, he added.
That’s what he wants the opponents he’s visiting to do.
“It would mean the world to me to be around those guys”, Bryant said in an interview with The Associated Press.
In fact, there could be an opportunity for Bryant to be one of TNT’s basketball analysts as he has already brushed off any ideas of coaching, according to NBC Sports.
Miami has won the last six in the series and took the two meetings last season by a total of nine points. Let me know what you think. “He respects competitiveness. He knows I did it, but I wasn’t trying to”.
By all accounts, Kobe Bryant’s 20th National Basketball Association season has been his worst.
“We’ve talked about it a few days ago”. While Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant were the primary scorers. The Wizards are considered top suitors.

Howard sent a reminder he could be relied on for offense on a team that mostly covets his defense in 119-114 overtime victory over Orlando on Wednesday.
