The end is near for Kobe Bryant, and those words are coming out of his mouth. Bryant, hasn’t hinted at retirement, and he still has a year and a half on his contract.
Last night, after recording the 21st triple-double of his career, he told reporters that he doesn’t see himself playing beyond next season.
Kobe: "If you asked me if I’m going to play beyond that, right now the answer is no."

Those plans could also change if say one Kevin Durant headed to L.A.
