This morning we reported via Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak, that this upcoming season would probably be it for Kobe Bryant.
Bryant took to Twitter to deny reports that next season would be his last.
My thoughts on next season being my last season are the same as the last time the media asked me last season #nadanew

Maybe Bryant is trying to avoid all the fuss? Most of the time, his answer is simply “we’ll see” or “I’ll address that when the time comes>”
Maybe Mitch Kupchak is simply giving the future Hall of Famer a hint — a nudge to move on into other avenues.
Bryant has never worn any other uniform, and other than a daydream of being with the Clippers, Bryant has made it clear that he wouldn’t wear any other uniform.
