Phil Jackson expects Kobe Bryant to keep playing beyond this season. Only maybe not as a member of the Lakers.
Phil Jackson on Kobe: "I don't think it's his last year. ... Maybe his last year as a Laker."
— Brian Mahoney (@briancmahoney) September 25, 2015 Jackson, currently president of the Knicks, coached Bryant in Los Angeles, and has been critical in the past of his former star.
None of this makes clear whether the Knicks would be a potential suitor for Bryant, who’s entering his 20th season with the Lakers.
Bryant’s contract expires after the season.
Phil: "I think [Kobe] is going to be better than ppl think." He says he assumes there will offers on the table 4 him to continue his career.
