FanNation - The Republic of Sport

Put this with the Lebron going to the lakers story and T&R can run it for months.

Kobe and Lebron are talking with Dr. Buss right now.

This is simply FanNation and SI trying to get a reaction from us. Kobe isn't going anywhere. He and the Lakers both know it. A deal will get done whenever they get around to it.

It's not if he's going to resign......
it's simply for how long-
does kobe want 4-5 years or 6-7

Wow, Kobe stays a Laker...who knew?

Lakers are holding their cards close, while they talk in secret to LeBron,..

Yup, KB24 is gonna retire a Laker and have his number retired at Staples.

Only question is which one? Would it be number 8 or 24?

Say you want that to happen but its very unlikely.
Lebron does not want to be under the shadow of Kobe.
Ariza is not even a superstar yet and he didnt want to be third fiddle to kobe.
So do you honestly believe now that Lebron would?
We all know he wants to win a title but he wants the mula too.
And he wants to lead his team like Jordan lead his team, like Wade lead his team and like Kobe lead his team last season.

Lebron refers to himself in the third person. That alone tells you he's not going to stand behind anyone.

Wishful thinking.
LBJ aint coming to lakerland.
If Ariza who is a role player dont wanna be third fiddle to Kobe you better believe LBJ who is a superstar most definitely dont wanna be in the shadow of Kobe.
Be realistic!

Probably, especially if he was asked to choose between the 2.

Depends on how many championships he wins. It's eight for each ring, however, since #32 is Magic's retired number, he'll have to wait and win his fifth to use #40, his sixth to use #48, etc.

Kobe is going to retire a laker..and have his own statue outside staples..

I wonder how long until the NY Post says that Kobe hasn't signed because he is interested in the Knicks??

non- story.
Kobe is not going anywhere with a stacked Laker team that can give him rings for years to come.

kobe needs to come to the seattle supersonics before they get run out of town
