"Kobe Bryant will play in Italy?

The three-time champion of the NBA and recent winner of the MVP of the regular season 2007/2008 is seriously considering undertaking a European adventure when he becomes a free agent next year.

After learning by anonymous sources that LeBron James would be more than willing to accept an offer from CSKA Moscow and Olympiacos in which charged $ 50 million for one season, Kobe Bryant said after being asked by the Boston Globe, which probably go to Italy if there comes a similar offer.

Kobe Bryant spent part of his childhood in Italy while his father played basketball there. In 1999, the player of Los Angeles and 10 times AllStar acquired fifty percent of Olimpia Milano, basketball team the Italian League.

"Do you know someone who was able to reject $ 50 million," he asked the Lakers guard. And is that calling someone turncoat is easy, but if that amount you offer it to you, it is impossible or at least very difficult to reject.

"I grew up in Italy and still have friends there," said Kobe Bryant. "I'm thinking of buying a house there." However, if Kobe Bryant agreed to spend some time in Europe, we would know by next summer, when it becomes free agent. The next year, Pau Gasol will continue to have the most popular player of the moment.
