Kobe Bryant Might Play Basketball In Europe Once His NBA Career Is Over

He'll get paid handsomely if he does it.

None

Kobe Bryant knows that his NBA career is going to come to a close at some point in the near future. But, when that time comes, it probably won't be the end of his basketball career. In fact, KB24 says that once he's done playing for the Lakers, he's likely going to sign a deal with a new team. But, that team would be one that plays in Europe, not the United States.

"It would be natural for me to go do it," he said recently. "It wouldn't be a stretch at all. I grew up [in Europe]."

We're sure Kobe would get a pretty nice paycheck for playing in what would basically amount to exhibition games for him. So, it's probably not a bad idea for him to consider it.
