"I hear the chatter of Kobe should ask out and he should go and play for a contender in this latter stage of his career," Bryant told Yahoo Sports. "But that's not what I do. I'm extremely loyal to the Lakers.


"I believe in fighting through the tough times as well as enjoying the good times. It's my responsibility to get us to be the best that we can be. It's important that we approach that on a day-to-day basis."



"We can't get discouraged by it," Bryant said. "It's a very long season. You just have to stay the course. Keep on looking to improve, keep on looking to get better and things will eventually break.

"I've enjoyed a great amount of success here. You can't just enjoy the successful times and then run away from the bad ones. No, I don't even think about [departing]. I'm a Laker."

Bryant is the ultimate competitor.. 95% of all players, hall of famers or not would have called it quits after such a severe injury.. if Bryant plays most of the 82 game season it will be a first as far as recovering from this type of injury goes.. even 3-4 years ago an achilles tendon injury would have been career ending, even at 30.

He request a trade before, boo hoo.

Kobe wish he could shoot 60% fadaway fieldgoal shots like the King Lebone Jane.

Why do Laker fans act like Kobe never publicly demanded a trade?

Slayed.

Kobe the last of a dying breed that stays with one franchise through the good times and the bad. I hope the younger generation follows his lead.

[BasedTom]

He's absolutely correct. Him and the Lakers are going nowhere.

:applause: Kobe is awesome and he is still a joy to watch. Sad that his Smush Parker team gives the one he's on now a run for their money.

[Collie]

Well, he does have 30 millions reasons not to leave.

[TylerOO]

He loves the shot jacking and low expectations.
