According to the Boston Globe if Italy comes knocking with big money next summer, the NBA could lose its biggest star in Kobe Bryant.
After hearing that Cleveland star LeBron James saying he would strongly consider playing in Europe for $50 million for one season when he becomes a free agent in two years, The Boston Globe raised the question Bryant.
He reportedly said he would take a similar deal by a pro team in Italy if offered when he becomes a free agent next summer.
The Associated Press originally reported that Bryant could have interest in playing professionally in Europe. “I’d go. I’d probably go,” said Bryant, during a USA Basketball press conference on Friday morning. “Like Milan or something like that, where I grew up or something like that? Peace out.” Bryant continued: “Do you know any reasonable person that would turn down 50 (million dollars)?”
