Kobe to decide future during off-season

New York, April 2 (IANS)

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant would decide if the 2013-14 season would be his final season before the start of training camp next season.

After being picked 13th overall from high school by the Lakers in 1996-97 season, Bryant spent his entire 16 seasons with the Lakers, winning five world championship from 2000 to 2002, as well as in 2009 and 2010, reports Xinhua.

The 34-year-old was quoted by the USA Today as saying that “I’ll talk to my family and stuff and really see if I want to continue to sacrifice as much as I’m sacrificing right now.”

“I’m putting my body through a lot to just try to get ready to play every single night. To do what I’m doing right now, it’s not easy. I’ll tell you, it’s taken a lot of commitment,” Bryant said.
