Scott might admire the concept but isn’t certain it will happen.

“I told him if this is the last hoorah, I’m going to miss him”, said Anthony, who spent most of his afternoon guarding Bryant and vice versa.
Bryant was clearer on his desire to not play for another team. If not this year, next year will definitely be his last season and it’s time to access where he will be once his playing days are over.
“I remember coming in my first game here, not knowing what the hell to expect, what to do”, Bryant said. Let me know what you think. Jordan Clarkson averages 17.8 points per game while Bryant tops in assists with 2.6 per game. And statistically, as he tries to get his legs under him after so much time off due to recovery, Bryant-a career 45% shooter and 25-point-per-game scorer-has looked like a shell of his former self, shooting just 32% while averaging 16 points a night thus far.
“It would mean the world to me to be around those guys”, Bryant said. “I’m a Laker for life”, he said.
Paul was able to play all 82 games last season, only to sustain a hamstring injury in the playoffs.
Moreover, Smith is thrilled by the chance of a lifetime to hear first hand from Bryant and O’Neal how both players hated and loved each other during their stint in Los Angeles, where they collected three National Basketball Association championship rings together.
Meanwhile, Bryant had been slowly hinting that this could really be his final season in the league. We haven’t got that. “I’m with that and we’ll see how it plays out”. However, there are several great young players like Klay Thompson, that have followed all of Colangelo’s mandatory rules for Team U.S. and are in contention for a spot on the Olympic roster. “I bleed purple and gold, and that’s just how it’s going to be”. “He’s one of those guys”.
He had received a similar welcome in Brooklyn two nights earlier, but the cheers resonated even more in Madison Square Garden, where he played his first National Basketball Association All-Star Game in 1998 and where he scored a stunning 61 points against the Knicks on Feb 2, 2009.
After getting a win in the opening game of their East Coast trip, the Los Angeles Lakers dropped a close contest to the NY Knicks and are now set to square off against an Eastern Conference contender in the Miami Heat. He blamed Knicks owner James Dolan.

Bryant was then serenaded with chants of “M-V-P!” from the Garden crowd when he went to the foul line.
