Lakers’ Kobe Bryant Seeking Career ‘Rebirth’
Published at
Chris Graythen/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — For the third-straight season, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has suffered a season-ending injury. With no plans to walk away from basketball, Bryant has a vision for how he’d like his career to go going forward.
“I can’t say it is the end,” Bryant said during an interview with NBA TV. “I thought the Spurs were done 20 years ago. Those guys are still winning.”
“So, to answer the question, I can’t say this is the end of my era because I thought their [era] was done, and they’re still there. So I’m hoping I can have the same rebirth,” he added.
Bryant is recovering from season-ending surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff that he suffered in his right shoulder.
After appearing in six games last season, the 36-year-old Bryant played in 35 games this season and averaged 22.3 points on .373% shooting.
He has spent his entire 19-year career wit the Lakers, and has one more year left on his current contract.
